S&W Shield Plus vs Sig P365

- Опубликовано: 28 мар 2021
- This video is a table top review and comparison of the Smith & Wesson Shield Plus and Sig P365. We start with an unboxing and move through a point-by-point comparison of the two so you have an idea of which may fit your needs better. Thanks for watching and enjoy!
Went to the store yesterday the S&W followed me out of the store! I petted it all night!
Exactly the same thing happened to me. I love my precious. Got the performance center with all the bells and whistles. Released just in time as I was looking for something a little smaller than my H&K VP9 for warm weather EDC
So you hugged it and squeezed it and called it George.
Did it purrr?
Now, that's funny right there.
I just shoot at bad guys 😏
Im a glock and sig fan boy, picked the the plus on a great deal of a sale and military discount..this thing destroyed the hellcat, the sig and the g43 and g48...i have lots of guns with loads of upgrades and money into them and this plus ➕ came out of the box crushing just about every glock and sig i have....i will rate it up their with my legions...what a surprise, s&w killed it
This is a no nonsense review. All info, no lag...much appreciated.
Instant sub.
True
after watching too many videos from reviewers who use SO MANY WORDS to say nothing, I find your style refreshing. Just the facts, ma'am, like I like it
I rly wish everyone would review guns like you bro. No Bs small talk. Packed with info in a short video.
Literally best gun review
Now this is the way to present. Without all the music and shooting prowess on display. Well done, sir. I will be looking into them as you advise. Thanks.
I own them all. Huge P365 fan but still purchased the Shield Plus as both guns have their own personalities and both are very good at what they do. Grip angle and rapid draw-point and shoot are perfect for both. My gut says the Sig is a very slight bit better build construction but only in the compound recoil spring. Honestly, both are premium and can bet your life on so let your hands and grip tell you what feels best. The P365 is smaller but the Shield Plus feels really good in my large hands. Getting all 13 rounds in the Shield + magazine is extremely difficult at first and new shooters will believe it can’t be done. Load them all up and let the magazines break in. I highly recommend shooting the Shield + with 12 +1 for awhile until the 13 round mags loosen up.
Now shield is more relevant than ever now. With the proven reliability of the shield over the issues the P365 has had in the past, I’ll take the shield +. Matter fact, I already have it lol.
My dad has the Shield. I have a P365XL. I have put about 2k round through it without a single malfunction. Cannot say that for my Dad's shield.
@@jase1125 have the original p365. Shoot over a thousand rounds and have to replace the spring already.
@@bulabroha 😂
S&W has it together with the Shield Plus
Check out Handgun Hero for exact size comparison..
Surprisingly the Taurus G2C/G3C is very similar in size as the Shield Plus ... very close
@@Hymanleon Yes, there were known issues with the original p365. Those have since been fixed and the p365 is easily the most superior compact pistol there is.
The Shield Plus trigger is amazing.
Best in depth of review of the shield I've seen yet. Thanks for showing the internals and using an actual trigger gauge.
this is the best gun video i have seen on youtube. everything i want to know, everything i need to know, no flashy bs
Love my P365. I can tell a difference between the Shield and the P365 to the benefit of the Shield. At this time, both are close in price with the Shield being a bit less expensive. Before I purchased the P365, I shot basically all of the subcompacts. The P365 felt the best, most accurate, and the sights are phenomenal. I think the Shield is a good CCW but I give the edge to the Sig P365. My P365 was born on 5/21 so I have had no issues with it at all. I have seen tests of 3 year old P365s before improvements and I think the issues were more related to the individual shooter's grip. I changed my grip to hold. I don't ride the slide but have great points of contact so no problems with last round not holding open. As far as the irregular strokes on the P365, I can show you 300 rounds of brass with no slide marks. All rounds are exact and distinct dots in the primer with no marring on the primer. Previously, my daily CCW was a Shield but the P365 just doesn't imprint as much as the Shield I carried prior. The only criticism I have of the P365 is it takes a while to loosen the spring on the 12 or 15 round mag. I am still using a speed loader although I expect the mag spring will get loosened up as I load it more often. I like speed loaders anyway for most handguns.
I'm a bit late in reviewing this video, but your comments on the P365 are spot on. This is my choice of carry as well. I, too, have a speed loader and really do not mind using it. I do like the idea of a tight spring. Thanks for sharing!!
Same, I can show 2k rounds perfectly centered. Born 10.21
I like your review style, as others have indicated, straight to the point. No fluff, gets the job done, just like m&p’s
Both are good choices. I bought a 365 and ended up getting an xl grip module to use with it. Now it's perfect.
U can also buy an adapter baseplate to fit the 365 mags on the xl frame.
Isn't doing this just like buying a xl? same size
@@strawdemindset Well kind of.
But with the curved trigger of the regular 365.
I tried the XL but didn't care for the flat trigger.
Picked up my Plus today.. Gotta say, I'm gonna like this little beastie.
Outstanding comparison. Have watched several videos comparing these two pistols and this is the most thorough by far. Most folks forget about us lefties and nice to know that both mag releases can be switched. Leaning toward the S&W but plan to test both. Well done. Thanks!
The dollar bill reference was eye opening.
Dollar bill test was missleading. The shield is taller top of slide to top of trigger guard so you get less grip zone
Benjamin Ponzer The size reference from one gun to the other is irrelevant. The dollar bill is simply used to show scale. If you pull out a dollar bill and look at the video for reference, it will give you a rough approximation on the size of each individual pistol.
@@MarksmanTV but you used the bill test to say that the trigger guard of the shield was bigger cuz it was over the width of the bill. That is not accurate the reason you would say that is cuz the top of the slide to the top of the opening of the shield trigger guard is taller not because the opening is bigger
@@benjaminponzer4448 he may have made a mistake, but either way the dollar bill is still a good reference for scale.
@@MarksmanTV the 365 trigger guard is longer than the shields
Love my P365
I have both and I have to say that the MP Plus wrecks the 365 in every way
@@Kazymedic so you basically purchased a taller Glock 26?
@@napalmstickylikeglue I assure you, this feels nothing like a glock. It is very soft shooting for its size. It has a double captured recoil spring. It also has a nice shape with a great texture. The trigger alone would set it apart from a glock. I would say it feels a lot closer to a VP9 trigger.
@@Kazymedic it may not feel like a Glock 26 but it is very similar to a Glock 26 in size and capacity. Except it's about 30 years behind the curve.
Myv hands too big for it
I loved my p365 but after around 8000 rounds it started to jam up. I tried everything to fix it! After everything was done I traded it for the M&P shield plus yesterday! If you don't trust the gun don't carry that gun! Heading to the range in the morning for the first shots through the Plus!!!👍
How did the first shots go ? Just got mine !
@@jawlinejawlinejawline prefect my friend! Congratulations! You are going to absolutely love this pistol! Mine has been flawless so far!
@@Wilders53 awesome! that's good to hear
Great review. After watching it several times I have come to the conclusion that I want both!
P365 for me all day - fits in my front pocket and super reliable. If I changed to the Shield I get into the carry OWB. P365 all day
The Shield starts to get big for front pocket carry
Pocket carry is not practical! Why would u pocket carry? Iwb is more tactical and practical.
9mm shield 2.0 is perfect for front pocket, 6 inches long, 1 inch wide, 4 inch depth, same as a big mans billfold
I would love to see Smith just sell the new lower for $200 or less since the upper from the original shield are the same and interchangeable.
I do too as it also fits the original shield 40 top. Only thing missing is a 40s&w magazine to make it a 40s&w plus. I did swap, lower 9mm plus with upper shield 1 or mod2 40s&w is a perfect fit - as far as I can see. It racks perfectly, locks back with the 9mm mag, trigger works. I just can't get a mag for the 40 and the 9mm is just too small at the top. As far as I can see the mag or the 40 is the same size - at the top - as the 9mm, its just the follower difference and top of the mag won't let a 40 load.
I traded my S&W M2.0 today for a Shield Plus! Couldn’t be happier!!👍🏻
I like both. But I’ll stick with the 365 because it’s smaller and I already own it.
My thoughts exactly.
@@toy4tao lol your opinion. I've fired both and the Hellcat, I'll take the 365 over them any day.
@@toy4tao buyers remorse? I could literally unload my sig p365 for over 600 on Armslist right now if I didn't like it...... As they are one of the most sought after concealed carry weapons. I've had it since the beginning of 2019. It's my summer carry gun. It won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
From my experience individuals who don't like how the p365 shoots have weak wrists..... Perhaps that's why it wasn't for you.(ironically it has less snap than the hellcat and the Smith & Wesson shield Plus) 🤣
@@toy4tao It's ok, some people aren't able to afford nice things. Enjoy! 🙂
@@toy4tao "hey guys, my gun is tiny, and my weapons are cheap. I can't afford the average priced one so I'll run my mouth to those who can so I feel better about my failure as a man. I also can't shoot for shit, so I need an optic."
You are fast and full of good info. I appreciate your style
Don’t be cheap! Dust off your wallet and pull out a second dollar bill and show both guns side by side on dollar bills.
I realize this would double your working capital for the video but I think it would really improve the production quality.
Seriously! Excellent review.
Good review. It helped me decide to go with the Sig P365.
Enjoy the QC issues
I disagree about the QC isdues. Ive got about 2000 rds through mine without a hiccup. My understanding was the initial release versions had wrongly heat treated firing pins, whis has been fixed through recall as well as tighted controls during mfg.
@@Sam1628 LOL
@@Futs101 my p365 has a date of 2/21 and I have about 350-400 rounds through mine. I know it’s not much but no issues. Also no signs of primer drag on the shell casings. So far so good.
@@Sam1628 enjoy your cheap resale value. Sig us the OG in micro and your qc foolish ness. Shows your ignorance and jealousy of the sig.
Bought a Sig P365 a year ago. $499 night sights and 3 mags. No contest
Plus us way better
I've carried a 1st Gen Performance Center M&P9 Shield for about 6 years now I haven't really found any reason upgrade. The Shield Plus just changed that. May wait for the Performance Center, but you can't complain about this one. Great review and compare.
A big part of price difference is that the Sig comes with night sights ! Haven't shot the new S&W but for EDC and concealability ,can't beat the Sig w/12rd. mags,IMO.
Excellent comparison. The S&W trigger looked better to me. Thank you.
It is better. I've shot both and the Plus has stepped up its trigger. But for $500+ i dont know why they didnt make it optics ready.
It's substantially better. Best in class
Just grabbed the Shield + bundle with night sights, optics ready, extra mags, first aid kit, and backpack. The rebate makes it a crazy deal. It also fits my hand better than the 365.
Grabbed the same bundle, amazing little gun
Change your grip numbnuts.
@@mattcraig4659 the 365 still has a way smaller grip and it’s way snappier than the shield, the mags and gun are more expensive with less features. I feel like the only good thing going for it is the conceilability and the sig brand.
What are you talking about smaller grip, factory yes tiny af, but a $60 Wilson combat module makes more sense to me than buying a new gun. Snapier? Hmmm... nothing the javelin guide rod can't control. More expensive dosnt matter when it comes to reliability and overall comfort.
@@mattcraig4659 so you have yo pay 60$ extra to fix an issue that the shield didn’t have, plus you already paid almost 100$ more than the shield for a gun that’s comparable? From a money stand point it just didn’t make sense when I bought mine. Grabbed the same bundle with optics ready, night sights, 4 extra mags, and a little gun backpack for 450$. The Sig is great and they revolutionized the market with the p365 but I feel like there’s much better options for better prices nowadays.
Great video with very detailed information on the comparison of both pistols ! I own both a m&p shield and the sig p-365. I have switched to the p365 as my carry due to magazine capacity ( three 12 rd mags ) but my shield I have six 8 rd mags. I don't think you could go wrong with either, BUT ..... for new owners please shoot a couple of boxes of your " carry " ammo through your new pistol to make sure if feeds and functions with that ammo.
Clear, focused, and précised video. Outstanding job!!!!!
Really like my smith 2.0 compact, I'm going to pick this up as well
Very cool, i want the shield plus, i carried a shield for a few years off and on be nice to have 6 more rounds same size , awesome!
I have to say that you gave a superb demonstration on these pistols. I am a new gun owner ( 6 months ) with no previous experience so this was very informative. I have a s&w ez and a kimber micro 9 ( which I don’t think I will keep it )… that being said I will be looking for the MNP shield plus. Thanks again
I own both and for the p365 fans mine has numerous light primer strikes and does jam. Can't argue with how easy it is to conceal but I can't trust it. The shield has never given me a problem so I have to go with the m&p. I carry the shield and my Glocks. Just my own experience.
Really appreciate the comprehensive side-by-side comparison!
Very good overview of this new S&W offering. Well done.
I have the Shield9 early version with that dump truck trigger. I'll take it all day long over the 365. Both are good guns, but I find the 365 toy-like in my hands - which are smallish. I might get the Plus at some point, but really don't need another gun. Also, having been shooting for 40 years, I have come to the conclusion that everything new is just a variation on a theme that already exists. With that comes the thought that these compact plastic wonders are just dancing around eachother, trying to market to a niche - some niche - any niche. When I think about it, my defense needs are unpredictable, but probabilities are that it will come down to mere feet or just a few yards. So, why care so much about sights anyway. I don't. The most rudmentary sights are plenty fine if you practice. I wore a Colt 1908 for years, and a Model 60 as well. neither has good sights, but with a bit of practice at ranges likely to be encountered will have you hitting a pie plate somewhere in the middle at 7 yards with both eyes open and as fast as you can operate the trigger.
Just give me a basic gun. The Shield fits that niche.
Chris, an excellent side-by-side comparison I have an original 1.0 that's all we can have in Cali thanks stay safe.👍👍👍
You can get this 1 as well only your's come with 2 10rd mags
@@demetriushudson1712 Or he can leave California and get the real deal.
@@demetriushudson1712 show it to me on the DOJ roster.
If the goal is the absolute smallest carry gun then choose the Sig. However the 2.4 ounce difference in weight between the two is negligible, ang pretty much indiscernible to the human body. If comfort, grip purchase, trigger pull, and controllability is the object choose the Shield Plus. I have both and now prefer the Shield Plus for my stated reasons. I have carried the Shield for several days now and forget it is there. Both are good choices so it depends on what is comfortable for you.
I am glad to see a gun store owner chooses a Shield when he has such a wide field of quality guns to choose from. I have Gen 1 Shield that has been heavily modified. I also have a Gen 2 Performance Center Shield with an optic and 4.5 inch barrel. It is unmodified except for a Hogue grip. With the Shield Plus I would definitely upgrade the sights. However, I could still use the holster from my Gen 1 Shield. I believe enough in this gun that it is one of EDC’s. I had my son buy a Gen 1 when the Gen 2 came out. S&W makes a quality gun at a reasonable cost. I have guns that shoot better, but I ave a lot more money in them.
The S&W seems OK, but I'll be keeping my P365.
Both great choices, though
I was hoping you would compare both with the flush magazine.otherwise awesome and expert comparison!
I'd like to see a comparison between the shield+ and the 2.0 sub-compact or m&p compact.
Comes with the "standard Smith and Season cardboard box". I don't know why but I LOL'd for real.
I got a 365.....and I add the 365 XL frame to make it 12+1......and I love it
At first I wasn’t willing to change my first gen shield either but you may have just convinced me
Definitely an improvement over the 1st gen Shield. The plus doesn’t seem thicker looking at it but it does feel better in the palm of the hand.
I bought the Shield Plus Performance with optics this past Friday, and it has replaced my Shield 1st Gen as of today.. It feels exactly the same when putting shots down range and I absolutely love it... I've only put about 300 rounds in the last three days though it, but those optics feel second nature to me already... Thanks for your video!!!!! 👏 👏 👏
I have one ordered. How is that optic?
@@TXH1138 1st time ever shooting optics on a pistol, and I gotta say I'm IMPRESSED!! I would have thought it was a laser it was so bright and clear.. Took a few rounds for my eyes to adjust to it because I wanted to align it with the iron sights, but all in all, HOME RUN!!
@@PapaTBatonrouge great to hear!
Definitely the shield plus. I own several glocks, m&p's (a shield +), and cz pistols. My boss let me try out his p365.. honestly it's a pretty nice pistol but is too small for my hands and I'm not a fan of the trigger overall. It's really made for smaller hands. I bought my shield + new for 350 with a 50 dollar rebate.
Yep. Loved how you sped through it. It often seems people are delaying making a point for some reason.
SIG WINS!! I carried it over the summer, just wearing a tee-shirt, those who know I carry, asked if I forgot my gun. This is with the 10-1 with the finger extension. The 12-1 will print, so it's a backup mag. The mag without the finger extension plate, I don't carry.
Just checked...S&W Shield Plus pistols are selling for $425-500 on Gunbroker (actual selling price)
Shield 2.0s have dropped in price and are currently selling under $300. Just a few weeks ago, you couldn't touch a Shield 2.0 under $400.
S&W is going to sell a shitton of these pistols and this is going to be a great time to snatch up the 8+1 Shield for bargain prices. The original Shield was one of the most popular pistols for a reason
I searched for and purchased the P365 Tac Pac. 3 x 12 rd mags and ambidextrous safety standard at the same price as the standard 2 x 10 rd version. Absolutely love the P365 ! The only additional accessory I've put on is a Hogue grip sleeve to add a bit of width for my long fingers. I also have the Hellcat OSP and would recommend either before the shield, nothing against S&W, Love my 686+, but in this concealment catagory they are severely outclassed.
Excellent review. Good info. I own both, had an original shield and loved it. Have moved on to higher capacity. The shield plus I shoot a little better, but with pocket carry the sig with 10 rd carries easily. No bad choice. Have Houge grip on both, would not get rid of either. Also the new shield trigger is very nice.
WOW! A new Dollar Bill pistol Standard Gauge.
Ground breaking 👍 quick and efficient comparison.
Great pace to your video. Leave it to a fellow Hoosier to not waste my time. Comparison cuts were also on point. I didn’t feel as though any content was frivolous. I appreciate your quicker paced no nonsense approach, I’m certain many would mirror my sentiment. Keep doing what your doing!
Very happy with my P 365. Was a little concerned about a micro-9 and handling. Put Pesrson grip extensions in it and it is very accurate and controllable. To each their own.
Nice!! A new gun review. It’s like old school🙂
P365 XL is an incredible firearm.
Xl is same size as 10 round mag shield plus
@@benjaminponzer4448 But they come with 12 round flat mags.
@@blackhorsecavalry yes that is the point I was getting at also you have the same grip zone as the shield 13 round magazine in a smaller size
@@benjaminponzer4448 i really like the side by side he did so I know what the new shield is like, but it’s comparing a micro to a sub compact. The xl would have been the better contender but I don’t think that’s what the vid was about.
@@alvarojm750 it really is a shield vs 365. The shield plus really is not bigger than the shield. The shield plus now 10 round magazine is basically the same height as the 365 xl 12 round, but you get the same amount of grip zone with the 365 xl as you would with the shield plus 13 round magazine.
I like the size of the Shield better than the P365 which is just a bit small for my large hands to get a good hold of. I can shoot a Shield pretty well too. It's still small enough to easily and comfortably conceal.
Nobody gets to own a handgun in the UK but this is *still* interesting to me. We can but dream...
Find yourself a red state
Sad, I carry everyday since I live alone.
In the UK the people fear the politician, that needs to change.
Plenty of criminals with guns in the UK.
@@NietzscheanMan and knives and scooters.
Love my Shields-- just bought the Shield Plus but I'm keeping my Shield 2.0 too.
Would like to see a head to head comparison of the hellcat, p365, and the max9
Honest outlaw has vidoe in that
Went and looked at the Smith, the P365, and the Hellcat yesterday. I want to point out that in the opening pic, the Smith looks substantially larger than the P365, but in reality it isn't that much of a difference overall. I will say that the trigger on both of these was really nice, and the reset was also outstanding. The trigger and the reset on the Hellcat were also really good too, but the other two were slightly better. The grip of the Sig is SMALL. If you have larger hands like me, you'll swallow up the Sig. The Smiths sights were just Ok, and the grip texture was a bit too aggressive (IMHO) for appendix carry. The Sigs sights and grips were really nice, but the Hellcats were outstanding (especially those sights). So, in retrospect, the grip size of the Hellcat was right between the the other two, the sights are better, it has one more round capacity (flush fit mag), the trigger was pretty damn good, and it was cheaper than the other two... I walked into the gun store convinced I would buy the Smith, and walked out with the Hellcat.
Just ordered a pkg deal for the Shield Plus "OPTIC READY" 9mm with NIGHT SIGHTS. The pkg includes 1-10 rd mag, 4 - 13 rd mags, a S&W backpack and a simple first aid kit. The pkg MSRP $599.00 with a street price of $525.00. Even though the Smith is a larger gun this deal was a no brainer for me.
I have a P365 but after the it's so small wore off I found it smaller than I really wanted (grip has a small circumference). This will be perfect for the guy who finds the P365 and Hellcat a bit small. I went the G43X mos route personally. This will be a hit with the guys that still carry shields as you did. People don't carry shields because they are the best at anything. They carry them because they always work.
Yeah I have a 365 and it's great for carrying but I'm still not comfortable with the small grip. I think I'd like this Shield better.
Jury is still out for me. I’ve had a SIG P365 and P365XL that were flawless. However, my S&W Shield Plus broke the firing pin spring and the firing pin assembly became stuck in my slide. Had only fired 153 rounds through it after buying it NIB and now it’s a paperweight going back to Smith & Wesson for warranty work and they’re telling me 6-8 weeks!
The advantage of the P365 is deep concealment, frame interchangeability and 17 round magazine available to provide home protection if desired. Great versatility IMO.
A more even comparison would have been using the 365 xl. Appreciate the side by side though.
When you get down to this size compact guns I don’t think 1/4 inch makes much difference.
Got my plus a week ago for about 500, really happy with it!
been waiting for a comparison. Once you get in a Performance Center Plus in I'm looking forward for that as well
Me too, but i think a more fair comparison would be shield plus and p-365 xl. I am intrigued by the shield plus but i have the p365 with the 12 round mags made by pro mag. The pro mags 12 round mags i found for 19 dollars each, half of sig branded mag cost.Due to lack of 9mm in my area i only have 150 rounds each through 3 mags. Only one mag had some issues and that seems to have passed after 40 ish rounds.
I am looking for a carry pistol to gift to my father as i had noticed he has taken to leaving his striker fired autos downloaded a round and cocked with a clear chamber as he said it is easier for him to chamber. I had been considering the shield ez.
@@mrbreck1 id definitely have him check out a shield ez performance center at your local shop. The slide truly makes a great difference
Man seeing all these new high capacity microcompact pistols like the Shield Plua and Ruger Max-9 next to the Sig P365 really emphasizes how tiny Sig managed to get the P365. Still can't believe they hold the same capacity.
Exactly
I would like to get both but they are little out of my budget for now will consider both when time comes
Taurus gx4?
I like the longer grip of the Shield Plus compared to the P365. The Shield Plus has a tiny bit wider grip, and slide length, and it’s only 2.4 oz. heavier than the P365. The ammo capacity between these 2 pistols is negligible. I think what it really comes down to is your individual comfort holding and firing either weapon. I have strong hands and forearms, so I’ve never experienced the “snappy recoil” that so many shooters complain about in micro-subcompacts like the P365, Hellcat, Glock 43, MAX-9, or Shield Plus.
Feeding the algorithm!
Good video thanks. I have the gen two with the crimson trace it was less than $300 bucks so hard to pass up I’ll hold off on the new ones for a little while and see wear the prices settle.
At the end of the day it’s your preference I compared a shield plus to a hellcat both excellent weapons but the shield plus just felt better in my hands I’ve shot the Shield plus very accurate
I have owned the P365 for a while and just picked up the shield plus performance. I like the way the shield fits in my hand but haven't shot it yet. I am going to keep both regardless.
So p365 is the superior ccw. Thanks Chris!
If you like broken strikers
Don't bump a table
Wondering how the new Ruger Max 9 stands up to either one of these two. Another great video as always Chris...first time I've ever seen a dollar bill comparison... very cool idea.
If it has that ec9s trigger then I'm out, it's a light trigger but so gritty and a very, very long reset.
Interested as well…
@@mattgeiger9988 exactly what I was thinking, put an aftermarket trigger in my EC9S and I still don’t like shooting it very much. I’ll keep my P365 for now
@@mattgeiger9988 from what I’ve heard the trigger is improved in Max9. I think Roger might have a contender finally to the 365/shield/hellcat group. But I haven’t shot one yet. Can’t beat the grip on the shield plus IMO.
The one glaring issue with the Ruger is the field strip process. Pushing out a pin and possibly chasing it across the floor during cleaning is a deal breaker for me.
Excellent video. You covered every key point. Well done.
I own all 3 p365s.,my go to is the sas...the ported barrel is awesome on recoil! Best thing about the sigs is you can switch out modules...nothing beats the sas slide on the XL module! Zero recoil with the full grip! You'll never want to put it down!
I sold my SAS. I could live with the odd sights, but the take down/cocking lever is a nightmare to use. I loved the aesthetics and the size of it.
Good comparison. Regarding aesthetics the SIG is much leaner and more proportional. I have handled both. SIG all day everyday.
bought the shield plus PC with the crimson trace gun is Amazing. Still love my MP 2.0 9mm compact.
Update for the p365 as far as chamber indicator. There is a sliver of metal that pretudes out if there is no round in the chamber. If it is flush then you know there is a round. You can see it next to where the bullets eject. You can physically feel this too
comparing to dollar bill is brilliant! this is awesome!
Both are excellent options. I prefer Sig.
If I was to choose between the two. Smith and Wesson shield plus for the win. Unfortunately they were late to the game so Springfield got my money. Hellcat for the win. Awesome shooter and can attach a Olight PL-2 mini 2 😁
I'm with you on gen 1 Shield. Mine has Apex trigger and XSBig Dots and I carry it in a Mitch Rosen 5JR. Perfect size and ergonomics for me
Get a Hogue grip for the 365 and you won't believe how comfortable it is. Feels reminiscent of a mini VP9
Agreed.
Doesnt that basically make it just like the bigger grip on the Shield plus?
@@srobeck77 No it is contoured and makes it more ergonomic like the VP9
I am between a Glock 43x and the sig this review really makes me want the sig esp as it’s so compact.
I picked up my sheldplus 5 months ago it's sweet 13mag ran different makes of Ammo sweet. 👍🏿👍🏿
I like the idea of laying them on the dollar bill, why not use two dollars and do a side by side? Good video!
@Ozark Yeoman haha!
Re: aggressive grip texturing on any polymer pistol.
It is simple to reduce. Beware it is not reversible so do it slowly. You can reduce it in spots that are disturbing, such as under the trigger guard. Take a course slipstone or fine small file and just knock off the points.
I just ordered a Shield plus now we just need CZ to release something comparable.
Got a CZ Rami. It’s pretty solid.
@@lukesmith981 I have a Rami too and love it!
Great comparison video. Very well done. Most helpful in my decision process.
