M&P SHIELD REVIEW: IPHONE LIKE BUZZ, BUT DOES IT DELIVER?

About this video

Colion reviews the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield, a single-stack 9mm concealed carry pistol. He argues that while the gun has generated significant online buzz, it’s not revolutionary—essentially describing it as a slimmed-down M&P9c. Colion examines the Shield’s ergonomics, improved trigger, flush-mounted safety, and build quality, concluding that it’s a solid concealed carry option, especially for those already familiar with M&P pistols, though he notes the trigger and safety design have trade-offs.

Key takeaways

• Colion believes the Shield’s main appeal is maintaining M&P manual of arms in a thinner, more concealable package rather than being a groundbreaking design
• According to Colion, the Shield features a noticeably improved trigger over older M&P models with better reset, though he still considers it inferior to Glock triggers
• Colion points out the flush-mounted safety is easy to forget when drawing, which he suggests could be problematic in defensive situations
