Smith and Wesson Shield Spotted in the Wild

Yep, they are already starting to show up in gun shops and big box retailers. RTB has some great pics up... here... of one that he got to fondle. You can pre-order one here for $387.99

I am so glad to see gun companies finally realizing that they need to have these new product launches ready to sell as soon as they are announced. Smith and Wesson gets it, and so does Ruger. Great job!

Caleb has a Smith & Wesson Shield Review

He is one of the first on the Internets to have a review up... he has run 500 rounds through it and he loves it! Thats no small feat since he has pretty much hated every micro 9mm thus far.

Smith & Wesson Announces M&P SHIELD

Yep, its a 8+1 capacity 19 oz single stack (Officially its called "slightly double stacked") 9mm that looks exactly like the photo that was leaked out early. The S&W Shield will also be available in .40 and the MSRP is $450. In the official promo video below Jim Scoutten claims that it has the best trigger any M&P has seen yet.

S&W Shield Revealed

So much for nondisclosure agreements. Armory Blog has the pic... here. Its a single stack, shorty 9mm.

I know that you M&P guys are gonna love this, but put me down for meh. I'm not really into the micro 9mms, and there are already plenty out there to choose from. Not being brand loyal to the M&P, this is just another micro 9mm to me.... just one more choice in the marketplace.
