About this video

Colion presents his range review of the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield, focusing on his personal shooting experience with the firearm. He explains that while he initially found the gun unexceptional during his tabletop review, live firing changed his perspective, particularly regarding recoil management and trigger performance. Colion reports experiencing one stoppage in 200 rounds and commits to further testing and follow-up.

Key takeaways

  • Colion found the M&P Shield’s recoil management surprisingly effective for its size, comparing it favorably to full-size pistols like the M&P 9C and Glock 19
  • According to Colion, the trigger represents an improvement over previous M&P models, with better reset allowing for more accurate shot staging and follow-up shots
  • Colion experienced one stoppage during approximately 200 rounds, which he attributes to possible causes including ammunition, user error, or the firearm itself
