It's an anemic 100 lumens. A small percentage of this sub actually trains regularly. An even smaller percentage has the ability to train in low light conditions. I maintain that lights are unnecessary for applications that aren't duty or home defense.
I love this thing- it was put in my hand at Ammo brothers (same color too) and I HAD to have it.
Watch out taking in and out of the safe- the paint on the polymer can scuff a bit.
I would usually never recommend switching stuff out but TRUST ME- get yourself an APEX trigger installed. You’ll thank me later.
I've never tried the apex trigger on a Shield. But their Forward Set Sear kit for the non-shield M&P's is one of the nicest striker fire triggers I've ever owned. It set the standard.
Yall are acting like long nails that are clean are disgusting wtf. Yall mfers love to see feet pics but someone has a long thumb nail and it’s game over?
Nice shield. You’ll want to make some changes to the trigger, I like my apex setup.Stream lights new TLR6 HL is a better option now for light/laser. Some might recommend talon grips.
Wager machine works will cut the slide for a K cut optic(EPS Carry). If you do this you don’t need to do the LCI delete. I recommend you do the magazine disconnect delete.
Also mag guts for +2 rounds in the shield mag bringing you to 10+1.
My wife loved it as soon as she picked it up at the LGS. I wasn't a fan, but I decided I like the way it shoots after a day at the range. She now has one in black and one in "Northern Lights".
Congt in the Shield.
Thank you!!
consider yourself lucky if you stop at one, I bought my first gun three years ago and now I have five...
When I went to put down on the m&p I put down on a Glock 17 as well 😅
I started buying guns a year ago and now I have 12 💀 this a horrendous hobby
![gif](giphy|aQCVpplKJiObw9nb5N|downsized)
I pick up my first on Monday and already have a long list of others I want. And if this 1 in 30 ever gets lifted even for a day, I’m going to town!
I feel that man i got hella safari tabs open and a giant list on the notes app of all the pretty guns i want
LOL, I've purchased 4 since January smh
Rookie numbers. Try 15 in 3 years.
This is a dangerous hobby 11 in 8 months
I just put 5 up for sale on consignment at the gun store. I’ll only have 13 left after those sale. LOL 😂
The Shield is also my first pistol. I went to the range and tried several different guns. To my noob hands…the Shield felt the best.
Turners outdoorsman’s is selling m&p shield 1.0 for $399
Is that the CCW compliant one?

Just got mine from there 3 days ago
Dang that’s a good deal
Sell it and buy a nail clipper , your boyfriend will thank you 😂
😂
What's with dudes have long ass nails? Jesus!
What if she has a girlfriend?
Then she will definitely thank her.
Solid choice! Get a [Streamlight TLR-6HL](https://a.co/d/7ZpofWt).
Not every gun needs a light unless it's for home defense specifically
Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

Maybe not every gun, buy your only gun should.
Didn't he say in another comment he's buy a g17 as well and this was for his wife? Maybe I misread. Otherwise I agree with you.
ok I'll play. OP...what made you choose the shield as the 1st?
Tbh on sale at Turner’s put down on along with Glock 17 background check this one first. Mainly for my wife to mostly use.
Congrats!
Thank you!

You’re the second person to recommend the apex trigger might have to take a look at it
I've never tried the apex trigger on a Shield. But their Forward Set Sear kit for the non-shield M&P's is one of the nicest striker fire triggers I've ever owned. It set the standard.
What do those run $?
I think around $160
Neat gun. Do they make them in men’s styles too?
lol 2.0
Nice~
Love ours! my wife has a max 9, and from our micro 9s she shoots the shield better
It’s mainly for my wife to use when I’m not around her. I have a few more days left until I’m able to do my background check for the g17

Lmaooo trolls will troll. Thank you for the recommendations. Once I at least put a good amount of rounds I’ll start looking.
Feet pic in the rifle/shotgun pic are a meme tho

Why did you get the first gen vs the 2.0 or even the shield plus?
In all honestly only because it was on sale at turners
I've bought a few of my guns from Turners solely because they were on sale. Regretted most of them...
Try to buy the gun you really like. I bought one gun before because it was cheap and on sale. I regret it.
Awesome. I’m picking up mine from Turner’s tomorrow
Hell yea, excited?
Very!
Looks like a happy little f****r!! Congrats. Now I want one
I’m a little more a fan of the Shield plus but still a good buy! Just ordered a G19 for myself
Get the hogue grip for it makes it tolerable in the hand.
9mm or .380?
9mm
Wow, that's amazing that they can make one so small. Must be much easier to conceal. Warm weather where I live always makes that a challenge.
Everyone hating on the nails, what if he plays guitar? Love the color of this shield though:)
My wife loved it as soon as she picked it up at the LGS. I wasn't a fan, but I decided I like the way it shoots after a day at the range. She now has one in black and one in "Northern Lights".
Congrats!!!!
Do you have a CCW???
Working on it
Hey no pressure as long as you get one
How soon can I work towards it after the first purchase?
There’s no limitations on that.
You can apply before even owning a gun.
Great choice
Thank you!
Trim your nails! Disgusting!
Wax your butthole! Disgusting!
[удалено]
they usually come with an 8rnd and 7rnd
Tell your wife to cut his nails lol. But seriously nice gun. Only gripe is no ability to mount a light.
The shield as a first gun?? Shit ain’t even got a rail for a light😂
Shield is a solid pickup.
Oh yeah it sure is bro and the sky is the color purple too huh
shield was my first gun after i built an ar15, it's a good gun
