I'm a Vet, and I've never seen anyone get up from a .45cal hit, but MANY survivors from 32auto, 9mm, and 7.65 Chinese/Russian rounds!!
TheSpritz0 happy late Veterans Day
Chicken Nug Master There was a NC Trooper about 20 years back sent 5 rounds of 357 into perp. Perp sent ONE. 22 round back. This is on video too. Oh...results. ..dead trooper, perp still in prison.
Thanks BRO!! At least I've been in firefights, many times over my 8.5 years in the Airborne...
And your combat experience is?? I've been in countless firefights in my 8.5 years in the Airborne, pal...
Bosnia with Canadian Forces, weapon was a .45ACP 1911 I traded with a Croatian soldier in Zagreb...
Love my Shield 45 today, six years later. Don’t need the 2.0 or the plus. If you need a budget gun look for one of these used. Plenty of folks dumped these perfectly fine guns for the next latest and greatest thing and you can pick them up for a low price.
Just called a shop the other day to ask if they possibly had one and they actually had a used PC shield 45 and the price is great. Going Tuesday to check it out.
I have a full size M&P 45 and I just bought the M&P Shield 45. I love both of them but the transition to the Shield was fairly easy. I have large hands and the Shield takes a bit different grip but it's totally controllable. I've fired FMJ and Semi wadcutters from it and there is no feed problem. I now carry the Shield as my personal Concealed carry weapon and the Full size is the house protection weapon. My recommendation?... carry the M&P 45 Shield...you won't regret it.
It's super excellent
Hi Eric. First of all thanks for your service to our country. i just purchased the M&P shield in 45 for my new carrier weapon. and so far, i am liking it a lot. Keep up the good work on the videos. i am a big fan!!!
Liking the new stippling
Love this gun, I carry it every day off duty. I've personally shot it 30 yards body shots all day.
shield is way better than the glock 43 in my opinion..
I had a 43. Hated it! Did a even trade for a p320 compact. Couldn't be happier.
Always has been.
Glock 43 is a good reliable gun but I agree with you. Shield is a better size, better capacity, better features, etc.
I have a shield 9 and shield 40 I got in 204. Really like them. I also have a 43 I -Ickes up in 2019. I carry it everyday, but am really considering carrying my shields 40 (same capacity as 43) and am really wanting to try the shield 45.
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 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
Loving the work, keep it up man. Happy late Veterans Day 👍
isaac castanon because im canadian happy remembrance day
very cool video and very informative. And excellent shooting! thank you very much for a informative video and have purchased one of these now myself. Can't wait to take it out and run it through its paces. Thanks again.
Need to see more of Ray. I love his input, seems like a very knowledgeable guy. I wouldn't suggest this gun as a first conceal carry. If you have a decent amount of experience shooting handguns (particularly smaller ones) than I would say it would be a good conceal carry.
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 !
Always nice to see Ray!
I would love to see more of Ray. hes really relaxed and enjoyable on camera
I really enjoyed this video!!! Good shooting, Good evaluation, A great up beat fun video to watch. I liked the feel and attitude on this video!!!!!!!!!!!
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
Awesome. I was just considering this for my own needs. Good review.
Love the Shield 45. My EDC now
Tony stevens Do you have any issues concealing it? How do you carry?
AJ&KATE WOOD appendix with a slim tuk holster is fairly easy
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.
The Shield 45 is a great pistol, I love mine & have done many reviews on my Channel as well! Carry On!
I'm a Glock 43 owner but I recently shot a S&W PC Shield and fell in love with it. I loved the sights, trigger, and the porting on the barrel and slide. After my last 2 guns with S&W I'm unsure if I will purchase anything from them in the future, but if I do, I might just have to pick one of these up along with my preferred holster the Stealthgear Onyx. Hopefully they'll come out with a performance center version!
as a person that owns this weapon from personal experience using it I can say that it is an amazing pistol it has great accuracy and amazing recoil !!!!
Joshua Conine You are correct sir
Joshua Conine I have the same gun, but haven't shot it. Lol hopefully I can take it to the range soon
Took a bit to get used to. I was hitting kinda low and to the right...but that was easy to fix. The small mag made it hard to have a firm grip. On the 9mm and 40, it is not hard to use two fingers to shoot, but the recoil make the two finger grip hard. I had to buy all extended mags. That being said, I still enjoy the gun today. The best small frame 45 has been the Xd mod 2 .45 for me. Good video!
We appreciate the shout out!
-Big woods goods
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!
Excellent review!!
Very Nice vid Love the range!!!
Gun shop talked me into your gun as a carry gun weeks ago. M&P 45 auto full size. The rounds they sold me for carry were Hornady critical defense 185 gr FTX
Just got the 45 performance center love it very thin same size as Glock 19 - fun fun 🤩 thx for the video 7 years ago now 2024 June 😊
Glad to see Ray he seems like a great guy
I have this in 9... put an Apex trigger in and went with Hogue grips and night sights... great combo!
Great review man
Cool video as always. Waiting on Shot Show 2017 before making a new purchase.
Highly recommend Rustoleum "Hunter Green" spray paint for ShootSteel Targets.
Paint the targets, upright shields, and the wooden uprights ALL the same color.
Looks great with the trees in the background.
Love the video. Would like to hear comparison between the .40 shield and .45 shield in recoil control.
That intro was sick!!! 👍👍
I love compact .45s, I've been carrying the Glock g36 off and on for years. 45 isn't to snappy or obnoxious will providing more than enough ft lbs. I hope this round is relevant for another 100 years.
S&W is one of the few US companies that seems to know the shape of the human hand.
Nice Double Tap Eric!! Thanks for the M&P Shield .45 ACP Video!! It's Surely a Fun Shooting Gun ~~
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.
Christina Ricci as Wednesday changed my life. Goth chicks are where it's at! ( If you can keep their emotions in check..)
😉
Dude!! Me too!! I had the biggest crush on her in that movie when I was around 10 or 11 years old!
Christina Ricci in Black snake moan and a box of tissues changed my life
the performace center model is awesome i love it
I find it ironic that you use both of my preferred carry loads. The Federal HST and the Underwood Xtreme Defender. Thanks for the video Eric!
Heck yeah Ray! Hope to see him in more to come! A little weird beardless though lol
I got the M&P Shield .40 Great gun to have
Hey guys, great video. I have two ideas for videos so take them with what you will :)
The gun room that you guys do gun gripes in, i personally would love to see that, Kinda like you guys did the gun stores maybe?
Also for a top five gun videos, maybe top five fun gun videos? Top five surplus or range day firearms?
Just what I would enjoy watching, you are my favorite youtubers :) keep up the good work guys
First time watcher and subscriber. Good job. Thank you. Took me a while to decide on a Shield because of the trigger feel. Guess I'll get used to it soon, picking my .45 shield up next week. Called S&W about the slide release not being able to be released with your thumb. They said after it locks back just sling shot it. It's the only way to do it to keep it slim. I think that is a flaw though because you can't release it even using both hands.
I couldn't release the slide lock with my thumb for the first few hundred rounds now I can release it with my right thumb without issues just needs to break in!
Oh yeah...great job on your vid's!!
Pocket rocket. Can't wait till mine arrives at my FFL Monday or TUesday!
freaking love the shield 45
Damn it! Now I have to buy another shield. Already have the 9 and 40. Thanks, Iraqveteran8888. My wallet is pissed you showed me this existed.
holy shit 0:15 dat shit ricochet bullet went straight up flying - dangerous as fuck!
firebladeflow I think it was the empty case
+CrossEyedSniper 1 lmao not 100% sure why is that 😆
Right back up over his head, I saw it too
Something came back up. Probably would have just hurt like a bitch unless it hit his face.
It's soda vapor coming off the gopher. Not a richocet.
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.
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.
How is the recoil! I’ve been told that the slim grip combined with the recoil is like getting karate chopped in the hand with a steel gauntlet
I carry this gun on my ankle on duty and I forget it's there. Great gun!
The Walther PPS does the same thing with their different size magazines. The witness holes on the flush fit magazine has an extra witness hole for the +1 magazine.
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
Good video glad Ray said something on it being Snappy , Would have been nice to hear How the Felt-Recoil was compared to other guns of this size and caliber , -Im just a novice thanks for the vid
i have the .40 that i carry everyday love it! surprised of the .45... mine shot to the left also haha. very comfortable small and if i take my time at 25 yards i keep a 7 inch pattern. 👍👍 for the sheild
just bought one from TruPrep Marietta, Ga. thanks to those guys over there!
I can't remember off the top of my head, but it was the cheapest price around and you can't beat their customer service and friendly, helpful staff.
DudeofGwinnett yea I like mine alot
Good stuff! Love that Smith came out with this. Figures, right after I trade my carry 1911 in for a SW Shield 9mm..... Lol
That’s funny! I bought the Shield in .45 specifically because I know I want a 1911 eventually.
Nice shirt, Eric.
Erick watch out the ricochet is not far from you bro !
best gun vids on youtube is iv8888
dan
I like N82 Professional Holster and Hidden Hybrid Holsters !!!!
I've also learned to add Talon Rubber Grips to all my Hand Guns when Possible !!!
I've been carrying my 9mm Shield 8+1 for Over 2 years in a N82 holster.
When I think I might need More, I Carry a M&P9c 12+1 in a Hidden Hybrid !!
With 32Rd spare magazine !!
I own a few shields. The 45 is seriously the best tiny 45acp gun ive ever shot.
its a good looking gun! i always found the m&p line to be a little weird looking but this one is quite attractive
happy belated veterans day, and that's a fancy pistol, may have to get one of those and let my 1911 have a break
Didn't recognize you without the gunsmith beard your opinion is worth a lot more than 2 cents you got a lot of knowledge in that beardless noggin.
yay!! got to see some ray on video. it's been some time since one his last vids, good to see him again
i have the full size m&p 9mm i really like it myself but .45 is my fav caliber i shoot the mosy in 1911-a1
would like to have the 45 in m&p
Ray, he's a good ole boy!
Hey Iraqveteran8888, any idea when the Performance Center version of the 45 shield will be introduced? I want this so bad but I would like to wait for the PC version.
Yea mine shoots a little bit to the left, I still love mine and it’s definitely accurate enough for me to carry
I'd love to see you guys cover a .45 ACP, Colt 1911 - A small concealable one, and a full sized one.
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
we need more Ray and gun smithing lol love Ray
I have one of those. She's a good one.
I like watching my friends shoot.
which gun would you recommend more for concealed carry? the 45 shield or the 45 compact? i was thinking about picking one or the other up after the new year
I'm giving a thumbs up just for that hilarious comment in the beginning.
Good man, big woods is good people
Love that fact that it’s not so noticeable even wearing my sweats u can’t tell
Tried this and the PC version today and really liked it. I'm thinking about trading my LC9s for it.
Hey Eric, they came out with a performance center version in 45. I'm curious if the porting would sacrifice any needed/desired velocity. The shield already sports a pretty short barrel. I always thought 45acp ball is one round that is suited well for plinking or self defense. Don't know out of a stubby ported barrel though? I've been looking to trade in my Glock 21 for a more concealable option, since it is my only handgun now. Your Shield videos really have grabbed my interest and I know I'd carry it a lot more, since the Glock just sits in my ''Oh shit!"Bag in my truck. The shield is less likely to get stolen if I carry it and more likely to help me if I ever need it in a pinch.
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!
Regarding your reference to compatibility of the Apex Shield Trigger & Kit for the 9/40 models working in the new Shield 45, this is not entirely accurate. The striker block, for instance, does not fit or function at all in the new Shield 45. Apex will be releasing a an Action Enhancement Trigger specifically for the Shield 45, as well as a Duty/Carry Kit for the 45. These new products are in their final stages of testing and we hope to release them by Christmas. Iraqveteran8888, if you'd like additional information please contact us at 623-322-0200. Scott Folk will be happy to walk you through the changes being made and update you on where the new products stand. Thanks. - APEX
Nice gun for a small 45 . Great for carry and self defense. So much better than a 9 mm.
Love y'alls videos ! Which 45 would you choose this one or a Xds . Thanks
Also, how's the expansion with defense ammo out of the 3.3 barrel? Does it get full powder burn and velocity?
Hell YEAH been waiting for this damn video Eric!
I am try to find a way to buy one. The rebate only last so long. I wan the Performance Center model, so I don't crazy with modding. Great video as always, I enjoy all of your videos. May God Bless...Amen.
Eric, are you carrying the M&P 45 compact in a left hand holster?
Love these videos, keep em coming.. Ray is the Shit by the way!
One problem with this firearm if you live in a hot climate: the new stippling will rip the flesh off your side. Fine if you live where it's cool enough to wear an undershirt at all times, but hotter environments make that troublesome. I bought a Pachmayer sleeve for it, but it makes the gun wider and less comfortable. With that sole caveat, however, it is in all other was a fantastic and surprisingly accurate gun.
I'm still stuck between an M&P .45 Compact or a Sig 227 Carry for my first .45acp.
man im so happy i got one of these with night sights and no safety NIB for $325
Dam good shooting guys...just bought me one...
8888 rules!!!
Awesome
Could you guys do a video on the M&P .45 compact?
