Initially, the trigger on my shield was pretty stiff. But it loosened up quite a bit after a couple hundred rounds (my normal break in for a carry gun). I've now got about 1700 rounds through it & it runs really smooth.canvasbck wrote:There are only two pocket pistols that I can say I really like. One is the Sig P938, the other is the Shield. I prefer the P938 to the Shield, but that is mainly due to the difference in the triggers. The 938 has a 1911 trigger that I didn't modify at all, the Shield has a long pull on a heavy trigger that I don't care for much.
But, a trigger can easily be improved after market. Even with a lot of trigger work, you wind up less expensive with the shield than the 938.

Re: Smith and Wesson M&P Shield
Try it before you buy it.
I've had one for a while now and carry it just about every day. It shoots well for a gun of it's size. It practically disappears in an IWB holster. Carrying one or 2 spare mags is just as easy as carrying the pistol itself.
