In this video we show and discuss the new .45 ACP M&P Shield from Smith & Wesson. It was only a matter of time before they would start producing a single stack bowling ball delivery device, and it performs. Stay tuned, much more on the way.

what are the cut for on the underside of the slide the part that feeds round into barrel.
Apex moved to good old Arizona from communist California. We love it down here. Business is booming.
I’m sorry guys I know this is an older post but I’ve had my 45 shield now two three months Maybe and I absolutely love it
dangnabbit those underwoods are purty!
That’s false information on the apex trigger. Apex makes a specific kit for the shield 45.
Eric kept saying ray was going to come in and shoot. But i never saw him. Heard his voice and saw the gun float in air but never actually saw ray. Either way another great video
Mag cut ur finger…….y mags where impossible to load b4 I used a screw driver to force the follower threw the first time
Is anyone familiar with the Copper Matrix NTF range ammo? It was cheap enough I bought several boxes but when it was time to clean the gun after shooting, I noticed the barrel was stained with a copper hue. Does that come out or is it permanent?
I have the 2.0 since it came out and the trigger is pretty light for a concealed carry pistol! Way lighter than any of my other pistols outta the box!
I want to get this and get rid of my shield gen 1 9
the performace center model is awesome i love it
I have one of those. She’s a good one.
Little bit of blood on your finger during that last round lol
S&W Shield 45. THUMBS WAY UP……
I like watching my friends shoot.
this pistol can really sling some brass way out there,lol
I came here just to see if there was an explanation on the +1 marking on the mags. It had be so confused at first lol
Will the barrel from the 45c fit in the shield? I want to get it but only if I can throw my 4 inch barrel in it.
Been waiting for this to come out for long time. Got see few in gun shop and hold them but their way over priced. In the xds price range.
Love the video. Would like to hear comparison between the .40 shield and .45 shield in recoil control.
The Shield 45 is one of my favorites. The sights on the 45 are the same as the 9 but triggers are different. This is by far my favorite small 45. It’s sized perfectly for the cartridge. Pearce grips makes a finger extension for the 6 round mag it increases control a bit but doesn’t affect concealment. Hyve makes a +1 for the 7 rounder. Great little 45.
People just go GLOCK!
Is a 3.3" barrel long enough to get standard velocity with the .45 ACP? I have not been able to find any ballistic information on this gun. Anyone out there have that?
I shop at big woods goods great people work there the indoor range is very nic
man im so happy i got one of these with night sights and no safety NIB for $325
GEEZE KING KONG!! you can load without an uplula loader?! If I get 2 rounds in I’m done.
i just bought one today,,, put about 100 rds through it and love it,,,,, love the trigger,,,, have the same pistol in 9mm too,,, both are my carry weapons,,,,, has the best trigger of any factory gun,,, got mine with night glow sights and no safety lever
Sasquatch load 255 gr.!
Reliability issues?
I like the 9 but I prefer a 40 cal I recently fell back in love with the 45. And my EDC is a 357 mag.
Don’t buy the shield 45. Even the performance center one. 35 rounds and the recoil spring blows apart. Smith and wesson customer service sucks, when they get around to sending replacement, it will be for the 9/40 version, not the 45. The day i bought gun, it failed. After a Google search, I’m not the only one. Shouldn’t have to buy upgraded parts to make new gun function. Totally bullshit!!
Love the Shield 45. My EDC now
I have carried my M&P .45 Shield for about 4 years. It shoots everything I put in it. I shoot every week at the club and it rocks
I have this in 9… put an Apex trigger in and went with Hogue grips and night sights… great combo!
Im a Glock guy,carried the Glock 19 for years.But for this 45 Sheild, i kept the Glock 19 as a house gun.Its hard to beat this single stack 45……very comfortable to carry.Been carrying the 45 Sheild for almost a year……..0 problems and flawless!
I see they have the 45 Shield Mod 2 out now, does anyone know if there were any enhancements made in the Mod2 from the Mod 1??
I never owned a Shield in .45 ACP. Why bother? Give me more rounds of 9mm. I’ll even take .40 S&W, I guess. I prefer a big heavy steel gun for .40 S&W and mostly for major scoring.
"Just one more" ROTFLMAO just like me! I love my Shield .45!
Everyone I know who has one hates it and can’t hit anything… even with the apex.
My girlfriend had one that she got before I met her and she wont carry it, so I’m getting her a G43 for Christmas lol
I own that one. Hey Eric has anyone run Buffalo Bore +P, 255 gr. Hardened Flat or Equivalent dangerous Game load through it ? Seems kind of a big load for a little gun but Smith said it’s ok. Thanks Ray ! Thanks Chad !
There is no way to get 8 rounds in the m&p 45 sheild ether the 6 round one in the chamber or the 7 round will only go in with the slide locked to the rear so it’s new jersey compliant mabey
Does it use the 9mm trigger and sights?
I have one on order at my local sportsman shop Eric. No thumb safety, and a set of night sights. Should be in by next saturday.
Tried this and the PC version today and really liked it. I’m thinking about trading my LC9s for it.
My 45 Shield is a normal summer carry for me. In a DeSantis OWB leather holster, it hugs right up into my waist and covers easily with a light shirt. I did have a machinist swap out the stock sights for a set of XS Big Dot sights (stock sights had to be milled out) and I added a Hogue beavertail grip to make it fill my hand better. Everyone who shoots it loves it. My biggest problem with the gun is deciding which of my shooting buddies I want to leave it to in my will.
Whats is your preffered round for this gun?Mine is the 230 Federal Hst
Excuses Excuses
you said you bought this gun from Big Woods Goods in Canton Ga, Wow I don’t live far from there in Calhoun Ga about 30 min down the road-great review of this pistol in fact I enjoyed this video so much I subscribed this morning
I really like mine, Had it a few months now, No issues at all with it. Good shooting gun right out of the box. You do some good shooting here !
Glad to see Ray he seems like a great guy
