“Tag: Shield Plus”

Before we dive headfirst into the morass that is the 30 Super Carry debate, let’s start with something (slightly) less controversial: Smith & Wesson’s Shield Plus is a supremely good pistol. Building on the success of the standard Shield and updated M2.0 versions, the Shield Plus kept critical dimensions similar to allow most gear designed for the Shield to work for the Shield Plus.

In today's episode of "I Carry," we have a Smith & Wesson Shield Plus pistol in 30 Super Carry carried in a Dark Star Gear Hitchhiker holster along with a Giantmouse ACE Corta pocketknife.

The red-hot demand for tactical guns is cooling slightly now. That’s actually good news for consumers, as it creates a buyer’s market fostering innovation and keeping prices in check.

In today's episode of "I Carry," we have a new Smith & Wesson M&P 9 Shield Plus Optics Ready carried in a JM Custom Kydex IWB3 holster along with a Shield Sights RMS2 micro-red-dot sight.

In today's episode of "I Carry," we have a Smith & Wesson M&P9 Shield Plus carried in a Dark Star Gear Hitchhiker holster along with a True Tactical EDC pocketknife.

Now Smith & Wesson Inc. is expanding its line of M&P Shield Plus pistols to include a new optics-ready variant, the M&P9 Shield Plus 3.1-inch OR.

In retrospect, Smith & Wesson had nobody to blame for the situation but themselves. The company didn’t invent the subcompact, lightweight, single-stack nine, of course. Walther and Beretta had preceded the original Shield to market by a few years with the PPS and the Nano, respectively, and Kahr had more or less created the niche back in the 1990s.

In today's episode of "I Carry," we take another look at the new Smith & Wesson M&P9 Shield Plus pistol in a Mission First Tactical holster with a Buck Knives Onset pocketknife.
