S&W M&P Shield 2.0 9mm Pistol With No Safety, Black - 11808

I own two Shield 2.0's, both with the safety, one with laser one without. I have over 50 yrs shooting experience, USMC,Govt (DOD>DIA<DSE)and CCW holder(45yrs) and certified Trainer by NRA, two states and military. I know firearms and use many different ones every week so i am both familiar with them and proficient when I train. Thes firarms were the toast of the town when they came out and are now being eclipsed by the new SIG 365 and Springfield Hellcat because they hold more rounds. Other wise there is little difference that matters. Some people always want the newest and latest wether there is real merit in the firearm or not. I guess all the 1911 guys would disagree with the new is better,,,LOL, You should have the Shield model with the safety. it gives you options and options are good. if you don't want to use it, don't. See simple. But, if you carry appendix and like having a striker fired 9mm pointed at your femoral artery or other parts..be my guest, But then, you can use the additional safety that provides added protection from AD's and someone trying to grab your firearm, and is absolutely no problem to use if you train with it. Done. Fact, no argument is valid. These are fine as they come from the factory, both of mine have triggers that are in the 4lb 6 oz ranges...perfect for concealed carry. They are smooth on take up, have a define d wall, and break cleanly. You can shoot these very well with a bit of practice. There really is no need for an aftermarket trigger unless you like bragging rights. I prefer a hard ledge rear sight for one handed manipulation and a large dot tritium for up close and personal work. where speed matters most. The stock sights are Ok and will do the job, but my preference is for the others that I have on all my firearms so the sight picture is always the same. I use the extended 8rd mag, with no problems and a better grip. I have stippled the forward area of the frame for both my trigger finger and my support thumb. I have done that for years, and apparently some people are acting like it is a new thing..wrong. I use the laser model for the night time carry, it helps to aquire quicker under bad conditions, lighting etc. I have shot these many times with no FTF<FTE or slide failing to lock back. I use Hornady Critical Duty and the Shields seem to like it. I prefer the nose with the polymer for feeding reliability and better penetration. just my preference. At todays prices you can practically buy two Sield for the price of one of the others. I am not a S&W die hard, preferring to use Glock 19's for most work. However, if you want a single stack 9mm that is reliable, easy to shoot and is made by a quality company, the Shield is a good solid option.

Bought for my wife to have a edc and she loves it. No issues so far and I plan on getting buying another one. PSA came through with the fast shipping.

Great gun, one of my edc's.

m&p Collection & PSA AR collection

Love the pistol...best place to get it...PSA is the best

What's not to love about the 2.0? I haven't upgraded to the APEX as of the time of this post but I'll eventually do it.

Right size and it has proved to be more accurate than I expected

Updates from regular Shield was a must. Great trigger and grip. would recommend this pistol for anyone that wants an awesome concealed carry pistol. Buy this and leave your 380 at home.

I absolutely love this. I bought one for my girlfriend for cc and then my dad who is 83 liked it so much more than his xde I had to give him one also. For edc you can’t get much better. Yes I love my G19 G19X XD40 2.0 and Sig M11A1 but for just around town running to the store. This is incredible and the accuracy out of the box is great

Nice concealed carry, I like the improved trigger. Ruling: Better!

This pistol fits the hand very comfortably and was very accurate. Have fired 500 rounds with no problems and had excellent groupings.

Great concealed carry pistol. The shipping from Palmetto was very quick and the price was right. I will certainly buy again from Palmetto. Good service.

Love it. I’m a Glock fan who is owning a tricked out 19 gen 4 and a Zev 19 gen 3.. you would think I would go with 43 for conceal?? The 2.0 won my heart with the ergonomics and the price..with $130 less than the 43, I put toward to the Ameriglo sight and Apex triggers plus the better trigger from the factory..this thing shoots like a champ. The Thump safety is all personal reference.
PS,
I read a lot reviews saying PSA is SLOW on shipping their products, things have changed.! I ordered the gun on Monday it arrived to my FFL dealer in Houston on Friday of the same week.. I could not ask for anything faster than that...thank you PSA.

Great pistol. As the Summer gets warmer, my conceal carry choice has to evolve a little with the change in wardrobe.

I change up between this 2.0 Shield and a LCR 357. Been really pleased with this pistol. Conceals well and not a hiccup at all with 200 rounds and another 20 rounds of self-defense ammo (Sig 124 HPs and Federal HST 124s).

Order yourself 2 extra mags (8 rounders) and you should be good to go.

Use to conceal a G27, but this works better as intended for Summer clothing. I’m confident in the quality and recommend it.

My only gripe is the mag plate buffer (?) on the 8 round mags. It moves and can pinch fingers, and skin during mag changes. No real reason it couldn’t be designed to click into place.
(* Gen 1 mags will work fine in 2.0 * )
Easily remedied with some super glue.
- steel sights, but wish the rear ones had more of a ledge for racking slide off of belt, or other object.

Otherwise, a fan of the design. Recommended.

Product is great; Palmetto filled and shipped very promptly.

Great little single stack! Trigger is nice, finish is flawless, fits in hand perfectly and very easy to conceal.

Love this gun. I have a big fat hand and the 8 round clip magazine holds it right in there.

Light weight. Feels great in hand, fun to shoot and always on point

I really like this gun. It shoots very nice and groups well too. In my opinion the trigger is pretty good. Not as nice as the trigger in my Beretta 92 but a lot better than the trigger in my old carry gun the Karh CM9.

Quick shipping, no hassle, exceptional price! Local FFL has a deal if you spend $100 on day of transfer they waive all fees. I just purchased a $100 gift card and that's it. Pistol shoots better than I thought, really happy with the purchase.

Great gun, worked right out of the box with a variety of ammo. And at a palmetto price you can’t beat.

Shoots like a dream. I’ve shot at least 25 to 30 pistols in my life...including 1911’s. I personally own about 12 pistols and the 2.0 shield shoots better than anything I’ve shot personally. Everyone’s hand is different but it fit mine perfect

Comparable to the Glock 43. The Smith and Wesson is beefer and has a nicer trigger break, than the Glock in my opinion. I have big hands and even with the extender most subcompacts don't feel right. The Smith and Wesson feels great in the hand. Recommended highly. I got my fiance to buy one and my brother. I brought a second one myself.

Great little gun. Great price. It was well worth the wait

If looking for great carry gun, you have found it. BUY IT no question. NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great conceal carry gun I'm glad it doesn't have a safety to mess with!

Great gun, great price, fast shipping.

Extremely acute pistol and packs a potent punch. It's a great contender for a CCW. How can you beat this price?

Fast shipping and great prices. Thanks.

For the money, this gun is an excellent buy. After reading articles, it became clear that the two best subcompacts under $500 were the Springfield XD and the M&P Shield. I had a chance to shoot the XD and was not impressed because it had a very long trigger pull, and the frame was very wide. I took a gamble with the Shield, because I had never shot it, but even just holding it in the store, the gun felt much better in my hand than the XD. But of course the real question was how it shot. MY OH MY I LOVED IT! First time I took it out I put 150 rounds through it and every shot was a pleasure. The trigger pull is smooth and not too long or heavy, the recoil was low to moderate for such a light weight gun, and it was extremely accurate. At 25 yards, shooting this gun for the first time, I had a great grouping, and at 100 yards, I could hit a 6 inch target quite squarely.

Overall, I am very happy with this gun and would recommend it to anyone for self defense!

I always carry a g19. Couple of friends have the original shield first gen and turned me onto this gun. I picked up a 2.0 for carry on them hot summer days and more comfort. The gun shoots great! Trigger is much improved and smoother from first gen. Bought another for my wife who just obtained her CCW and she loves it as well. I just carry a few extra mags. Gun is great and can’t beat the price from PSA!

A lot better trigger and grip than the last generation.

Put about 200 assorted rounds through it so far, zero hiccups.

The order process is easy and fast. I would highly recommend the M&P 2.0 Shield 9mm for conceal carry single stack and is light weight

Awesome carry! Love the way it feels in hand. Love the look. It's as accurate as the shooter with in 10yrds. Yes, I would recommend it.

I would recommend the shield to a friend, so far. Only a box through it but my initial reaction is that I like it. I own/have owned many Glocks in all sizes, an xd, a full size m&p, and now the shield. The sights hit where I aim with 115 and 147 gr projectiles and it is fairly pleasant to shoot. Two thumbs up. The only thing I'm dealing with on my new shield is the fact that the grip chews up my stomach when carrying appendix. An under shirt is a decent solution though. A different holster could fix it too.

I wanted a slim gun for ease of concealment. This gun works well with the single stack magazine. Have shot 500+ rounds without a single hiccup. Only downsidefor me is every once in a while while carrying it concealed the magazine release button gets pushed unseating the magazine. Not a fault of the gun, I'm a lefty so it's probably my fault.

Just a few words of advice, this pistol has a slide LOCK (NOT slide release) so you must "slingshot" the slide back once it locks back after the final round, not by using the lever. This is simply how it was designed. Second, I highly recommend getting the version WITHOUT the manual safety. If you are trained in firearms you will know where I'm coming from. Bottom line, great product, great price, shipping took a few weeks but for the price it was well worth the wait.

Great gun. Had the gen 1 liked it so much got the gen 2. Smooth slide and better trigger for sure. Shoots great. Only problem is when carrying the more aggressive grip does rub my side and is irritating. Thinking of taking some light sand paper to it.

The 2.0 is hands down better than the first generation shields. The trigger is now light and crisp with short reset. I put 100 rounds through it and not a single hiccup. I highly recommend the 2.0.

Great easy purchase. Received promptly. Gun shoots great, easy carry.

Great gun. Very pleased with accuracy. Good size to carry.

I really like the new 2.0 Shield. My friend has an earlier model with the safety so I have shot both variations. The trigger on the new 2.0 is a bit better and the gun seems to be more accurate in my hands than the earlier one. The 2.0 grip does not need The Talon Grips for improvement. It is small enough to carry appendix for summertime carry and why it was purchased. Palmetto offered it at a good price and shipping was very fast.

Great trigger and accuracy. Junky mags however.

All I can say is ...

Had a local gunsmith install night sights. The new serrations up front make the slide so thin the slide cracked. Guess it’s a known problem. Not impressed

I really like the fit and finish up my shield 2.0, especially the rough grip Texter. You really do need to wear an undershirt if you are carrying this gun inside the waistband though.
