![]() ![]() Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm Shield, SKU: 10035 For dependability, cost factor and concealability, I give the M&P 9mm Shield eight warrior shields. The S&W M&P Shield is an excellent pistol and can be found for under $400. If you’re a novice shooter, get some instruction from a certified instructor. If your muscle memory does not include many hours of operating the safety, you may be fighting the firearm as much as you are the aggressor. In that split second if you decide to fight your muscle memory will take over. In high stress situations, your fight or flight will kick in. Unless you shoot at least once a month firing at least 100 round for about two hours practicing firing a few shots then activating the safety and holstering, the safety could be a problem. Some Shield models come with a thumb safety but the model I am reviewing does not. The M&P Shield has a patented take-down lever and sear deactivation system making the disassembly of this firearm easy and simple. In fact if you are serious about personal home protection, I would have at a minimum of eight extra magazines. For me I would purchase an extra extended magazine as it allows a place for my little finger to rest. This model of Shield (10035) comes with two magazines, one magazine holding seven rounds and the extended capacity full grip having eight rounds. The Shield is a striker-fired pistol (always cocked) which facilitates a short consistent trigger pull. The polymer has an embedded stainless rigid chassis system for the metal slide to function on. This firearm is thin and lightweight which supports it being carried all day long. I found the M&P 9mm Shield an excellent made firearm. I know many gun owners and professional law enforcement officers who rave about their S&W M&P 9mm Shields. The pistol had to be of excellent quality and highly reliable as well as easy to use. The factor or equation I used in selecting these five American Semi-auto pistols was the firearm had to be made in the USA with the final profit dollar staying here. For protection from two legged critters, a 9mm Semi-auto pistol is an adequate round with proper shot placement. The 9mm round, also known as (AKA) 9×19mm 9X19 or 9mm luger, is a 0.355 inch diameter bullet and in effect is a 35 caliber. However, if you are looking to be a one gun person or family, then maybe the 9mm caliber Semi-auto is the pistol for you. So I have several handguns which I use for duty, personal protection and ones which have stopping power for furry-fanged things. In Oklahoma we have an infestation of feral hogs so encountering an old protective sow with a herd of piglets is not out of the question. If I am hiking the Rocky Mountains or Southeast Oklahoma’s’ Winding Stair Mountains, I like to carry a pistol which will be effective on black bear and cougars. In these remote areas are critters who could possibly do me harm, so I like to take a firearm which will match the body weight and temperament of a possible antagonist. When I get the chance, I like to go hiking in remote areas and sometimes make a camp and spend one or two nights. In the tool realm of firearms the same applies. The same applies for many other types of wrenches, saws, drills etc. There are many types and sizes of screw heads so I am required to have many types of screwdrivers. In using tools for construction, maintenance and destruction, one type of screwdriver just doesn’t cut it. I consider firearms as just another tool I use in my daily life of tasks and duties. For me, having only one firearm to be used in every possible event which may occur, is impractical. Looking for a 9mm semi-auto pistol for personal or home protection?
