I’m a LEO for nearly three decades. I carry a Shield 40 off duty because I simply don’t trust 9mm from my real world, first hand experience. 40 is simply a better round to stop the bad guy. 9mm is “adequate” but better options exist (as evidence by the invention on 10mm and 40). Bullet technology has helped 9mm catch up (it made the 40 better too) but 9mm will never be a 40 with larger diameter, higher energy, and better intermediate barrier penetration. Be safe out there.
@@banzairunner7860 165g Gold Dot and 165g HST. They are real thumpers with great expansion (even from short barrels) and good penetration. I trust them on and off duty. My duty carry is Glock 22 I personally own. I am issued a Glock 17 but it sits brand new in the box in my safe. Lol
@@Michael-my6jo Thank you for your support. We try to do a good job daily. We definitely get a bad wrap thanks to a few rotten apples in the barrel. I don’t like rotten apples either. Lol
@@GLOCKCOPG23 I’m a little confused… You personally own your duty weapon? Doesn’t that belong to your department? Also, they’re OK with you carrying a gun of your choice rather than the one issued to you? Seems odd to me.
Just shot a 40 for the first time when shooting my 9mm at the range. From what hear on CZcams I was expecting some atrocious hand snapping recoil but it wasn’t at all! It was very controllable and I loved it.
Agree. Love the Shield .40 for EDC. I also have the 9mm perf center, and both fit in the same holster. Great options. Def 2 I carry often. The .40 just hits special. Love the .40 shield long time 👍
I've had my 1.0 for years now and absolutely love it. Never a single problem! It's a laser pointer.. Just remember to stick with lighter weight if you're carrying hollowpoints out of such a short barrel. 165gr is the sweet spot for still getting reliable expansion along with softer recoil. A mag plate with pinkie extension makes a huge difference with no extra print, as well as a good set of night sights being invaluable. Trijicon make some fantastic yellow or orange dot with blacked out rear, and XS systems make their Big Dot, which is an angle rear and really big tritium center white dot front that works fantastic. Good video. 😃
This is my EDC as well, Purchased it off a co worker 8 years ago for $125.00! He said he hates it because he couldn't hit a side of a barn at 10 yards (he hardly ever practiced). I had new sights put on it and had trigger work done on it. I love it! Center mass at 15 yards at my club. Easy to break down to clean and is reliable
Railroad mechanic here. Haven't gotten my nj cc permit yet but I plan on carrying at all time whether they like it or not. This fire arm is at the top of my list!
Tree trimmer here. I carry most days under my safety vest 🦺 so printing is an non issue. A tree worker was attacked on the job a few years ago in Colfax, CA, hate crime situation. So I carry whenever possible.
Carry my 9mm 1.0 at work every day. It's got scuffs and looks like it's carried every day. Still functions perfectly. Everyone at work knows I carry. I live in the high humidity of the south east coast, so I wear polo shirts and shorts most of the year. This firearm is the perfect size for concealment for my work environment. I know it will do the job if needed. No need to change if something just works for ones lifestyle. I do carry a M&P 9mm 2.0 compact in the winter months (about 3 months out of the year) when heavier clothing is needed.
I have this same gun and I have a 9mm conversion barrel for it but I prefer the 40… it’s good to see this gun get some love because it’s one of my favorites and I too usually carry this when I’m doing some outside sweaty or dirty work like mowing and other yard work because it’s finish doesn’t seem prone to rust. I have several handguns from micro to full sized and I’d say this one gets carried the 2nd most, first being my LCP Max because it’s so convenient but 40 S&W is my favorite handgun caliber
@@paulsecrest9427 if yours is a 40 , yes it’s simple and even easier to switch it to 357 sig because they even take the same magazine… from 40 to 9mm you really should use 9mm magazines ( even though the 40 cal mags will hold 9mm)

Great video and thanks. I have this gun but until just recently, have stuck with my G26 for most EDC use. Now though, I'm starting to work more with the Shield and also a Kahr PM9 as both are flat guns. In rapid fire drills, the Kahr is harder for me to shoot well but I am getting better with it and it just disappears in a pocket. The .40 just feels more confidence inspiring then my various 9's when I'm out in the woods.
People ignore the improvements to modern ammo also apply to the other forgotten cartridges (.45ACP and .40S&W), perosnally though I'd go 9mm. But I can't deny the potential of the .40S&W cartridge when loaded right.
.40 fmj target ammonis still a capable round compared to many other cartridges. Think at one time people were carrying .25acp with no sights and felt adequetly armed. We gen x and millennial are spoiled.
I carry the Hellcat Pro daily at work. But I’m not doing physical labor. I walk all over the place and work in my office. If I worked a job like yours I would definitely carry something smaller.
The .40 Shield 1.0 was the first Shield I fired. I personally found the recoil impulse to be less harsh than the G27 I carried at the time. Recoil from 180 grain ammo, either HP or TMJ training ammo that I had to use at the time made shooting .40s not fun as arthritis started to set in. The Shield is a pretty good concealed carry option. I ended up buying a 9mm version because it was rumored the Shield would be authorized to carry where I worked. Never materialized. Never considered a 40 Shield converted to .357 Sig, but I guess it’s something to consider, although I don’t see the .40, or even 9mm being less capable when encountering an IDPA cardboard with layers of cotton, denim, nylon, and/or wool draped in front of it. Then again, this is still America and we can tinker with things just because we can. I remember when a gunsmith in the south was taking fixed sight K-frames, rechambering them to .357 Mag, then cutting them down so that the overall profile wasn’t any larger than a two inch J-frame but would still take the K-frame speed loaders most cops had on their belts for their duty guns. Supposed to be the ultimate BUG but never really caught on. I’d thought about getting one, never did, and didn’t take into consideration how brutal it might be with 125 grain Federal SJHPs. Anyway…
I can’t carry on the job, but I love my 9s and 40s. I generally carry a Taurus G2C chambered in 9mm or 40 or Shield 2.0 9mm. Easier to conceal. Thanks for the video!
I daily carry a SW 638 with a shrouded hammer, first firearm I bought when I got out of the Marines' about three years ago now. Now I did have a sw mp shield 2.0 in 9mm I found the shield to be way to thin for me to comfortably carry and or draw.
mine is 40cal. 3.1" barrel shield m2.0 performance center, when shooting if you put a full mag in with the slide closed it's very hard to get it in. but if you lock the slide open first the full mag goes in very easily. and when you release the slide DON'T push the hold open button to release it! it's not made for that! just pull the slide a little and let go. i'm lovin the gun i was looking at the kahr cw45 but it's a $150-200 breakin cost, the factory say's don't call about failures till you run over 300 rounds thru it! ammo is expensive! all of the reviews on the s&w say zero failures out of the box! i'm not into lights or optics and i hate squared off trigger guards and rails so looks are important! lol i once sanded down the corner on a glock 43 trigger guard it turned out great you couldn't tell i did it! i promise not to do that to this s&w
for many years I carried the M&P Shield in 40 S&W Kommufornia edition but upgraded to the M&P 2.0 Compact 3.6" barrel in 40 S&W and wouldn't go back to the Shield because the 2.0 feels just so good in the hand and because I could when I left Kommufornia...
Looks like it may be 5 months late but Grab-A-Gun has them for $339 w/ 3 magazines and factory night sights right now. S&W Model 11816. I couldn’t pass it up! The same night sights on the gun cost $132 on the same website!!
Been a big Shield fan for many years now. I started with a 1.0 Shield in 9mm in 2016. Now I'm on a Shield Plus with 407K. I've owned 4 shields and never had a malfunction in any of them. They are tanks.
Truck Driver. I haul cars on a 9 car carrier. I’ve carried a CZ 75 pcr, Taurus 605 poly, Springfield XDS and my current set up is a XD9 subcompact 13+1 with a 16 round in my backpack. We’re not allowed to but a good IWB holster is your best friend. Don’t cheap out on that. Through the grace of God I’ve carried almost 2 years and no one’s noticed.
You kids dont understand that the shield was revolutionary. There wasn't anything likr it before. Everyone sees the p365 as the game changer....it was always 10 years before, the shield. 10 years ago, striker fired was almost "just a glock" thing, the shields staggered stack to squeeze a few more into a single stack to get 8 over 6 was huge. The shield was really the 1st EDC carry gun.
I’m thinking I’m gonna go get me one of these. I was checking one of these out a while back when I was buying a g19 and at the time I didn’t think I wanted one. Since then I’ve shot the 9mm and the 40 m&p shield and I love them both. I really just can’t decide if imma go 40 or 9mm.

I have the 357 sig and a 9mm barrel for my shield 40. I've always heard that, but I've never had a failure with the 9mm barrel in it. I use the 40 caliber mags when shooting 9mm also.
I am not even allowed to have firearms in my car in the parking lot, only place I don't carry is at work and the doctors office.🤷♂ Not taking a chance with my employment, but I do work in a building that has a single point of entry with 2 armed security guards, I feel safe enough at work.🤷♂
I love the DIRTY WORK. I work in the NATURAL GAS DISTRIBUTION INDUSTRY in some shitty neighborhoods where i live. SHIELD 45ACP is for those DIRTY WORK DAYS!!!!
This shield in 357 SIG with a custom 4.5 inch barrel and hot ammo has the same power as a 4 inch 357 magnum. The first shot is the most important and it saves you many questions like why you shot the guys leg 4 times with your G26? Why, Why, Why? Are you rich enough for paying him the rest of his life? No, then its time to go to jail son. Or why a double tap? You wanted to kill him right? Thats jail time son....
That's not really true. The supreme court has already ruled on this. Once lethal force is authorized, it is authorized and it matters not which weapon you use and/or how many times you fire (or where you fire). Lethal force is the ultimate force, so you cannot charge a man for using too many or too few bullets. The way you describe it would make self defense a crime... like they can just make crap up and throw people in jail for defending themselves... but that is so outrageously rare that we only hear about like 1 case per year (at most) of the hundreds or thousands to millions of self defense uses of firearms. You can't go to jail for using lethal force in self defense when lethal force is justified.
In my opinion a worn gun looks 100x better than one new out of the box. I would also trust a worn (not to obviously worn) but i would trust it more than a new out the box gun as it’s more likely to have issues from the manufacturer than having 2 or more thousand rounds through it. Once it’s been worn in and tested that’s when it’s the most reliable!
And unreliable and plagued with issues. If you know, you know. I have 4 of them with thousands of rounds through each. I would never carry any sig striker fired polymer handguns.
Law Enforcement has been giving up 40’s and going back to 9mm. 1). 9mm has slightly higher capacity. 2). 9mm has less recoil, making secondary shots… a split second faster and more accurate. 3). 9mm is cheaper 4). Upon medical examination of wounds caused by 9mm & .40S&W; medical examiners were not able to distinguish between them. Conclusion = .40S&W is not better than 9mm
@@J.R.F.23 Never say never. They switched to 10mm/.40 for a reason... because perfect shot placement was still not enough for the bullet to penetrate deep enough to strike the heart (which led to the one shooter to continue shooting for several minutes before finally being put down. I agree that 9mm is a better round though. I prefer capacity over power... but in most cases, capacity is not required. Only a couple shots are fired... and with a .40, there's a better chance that it will be more effective than 9mm (in most self defense situations). Capacity only matters if actually you shoot most or all your bullets (and don't have a chance to reload).
I don’t care what caliber it is. In a small package like that I intend on using it under 20 yards. Any ammo and caliber should be fine for follow up shots in that range, for a man…
@@ColonelCarnage I would put my Walther PDP against your Glock 22 any day! I guarantee it is more accurate, has far superior ergonomics and accuracy. Plus it has a far better warranty than a Glock. The Glock was my duty pistol for 2 decades; I am extremely familiar with it.
and doesn't .40 wear out your gun faster? I mean, shoot whatever you want, it's a free country, but I would think "blue collar" would mean economical, and the "duct tape" of handgun calibers has to be 9mm.

The way you describe it would make self defense a crime... like they can just make crap up and throw people in jail for defending themselves... but that is so outrageously rare that we only hear about like 1 case per year (at most) of the hundreds or thousands to millions of self defense uses of firearms. You can't go to jail for using lethal force in self defense when lethal force is justified.

I’m a 3rd year plumber!
I have the compact
what's price on that 40
In my opinion a worn gun looks 100x better than one new out of the box. I would also trust a worn (not to obviously worn) but i would trust it more than a new out the box gun as it’s more likely to have issues from the manufacturer than having 2 or more thousand rounds through it. Once it’s been worn in and tested that’s when it’s the most reliable!
Do you know any good mag extensions for this?
Hyve brand are the best shield mag extensions I have ever had.
say this interchangeable barrels is good deal
where is he finding this for $300?? S&W are listing it for $505
I bought mine used of a friend 350 with 2 7s and a 6 round. Magazine.
Glock 33 for the win
Yeeeeeee 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Sig 365x better trigger, 12 rounds and and optic
And unreliable and plagued with issues. If you know, you know. I have 4 of them with thousands of rounds through each. I would never carry any sig striker fired polymer handguns.

also!
Law Enforcement has been giving up 40’s and going back to 9mm. 1). 9mm has slightly higher capacity. 2). 9mm has less recoil, making secondary shots… a split second faster and more accurate. 3). 9mm is cheaper 4). Upon medical examination of wounds caused by 9mm & .40S&W; medical examiners were not able to distinguish between them. Conclusion = .40S&W is not better than 9mm
Facts
@@ColonelCarnagepower and caliber will never matter as much as shot placement.
@@J.R.F.23 Never say never. They switched to 10mm/.40 for a reason... because perfect shot placement was still not enough for the bullet to penetrate deep enough to strike the heart (which led to the one shooter to continue shooting for several minutes before finally being put down. I agree that 9mm is a better round though. I prefer capacity over power... but in most cases, capacity is not required. Only a couple shots are fired... and with a .40, there's a better chance that it will be more effective than 9mm (in most self defense situations). Capacity only matters if actually you shoot most or all your bullets (and don't have a chance to reload).
I don’t care what caliber it is. In a small package like that I intend on using it under 20 yards.
Any ammo and caliber should be fine for follow up shots in that range, for a man…
@@ColonelCarnage I would put my Walther PDP against your Glock 22 any day! I guarantee it is more accurate, has far superior ergonomics and accuracy. Plus it has a far better warranty than a Glock. The Glock was my duty pistol for 2 decades; I am extremely familiar with it.

357 sig n 40 are two dead calibers imo . Just run 9mm +p
and doesn't .40 wear out your gun faster? I mean, shoot whatever you want, it's a free country, but I would think "blue collar" would mean economical, and the "duct tape" of handgun calibers has to be 9mm.
Chuke baby.
Do you post anything other than 40 cals? 😂
You must be new where considering I only own 6 .40’s
Useless video.
Hey what are your thoughts on SOCOM replacing their Glock and Sig handguns and rifle for the 4 inch SW Shield 40 and MP Sport II?
