The 45 Shield rocks! I have always enjoyed small 45s. I had a Glock 30s and some small 1911s but the Shield 45 is my favorite. Just small enough with adequate capacity.
I'm looking at the performance centre 9 or 45 at the moment for my primary ccw. The biggest factor is i like to practice a lot and throwing 45s for fun aint cheap!
The grip on the .45 is the best I have seen coming straight from the factory. They feel like talon grips.
Yeah man I agree
Yes it is I love my 45
@@Hegshot87 i had the 45 cal and pawn it to get some money . And lost it on the pawn and I wish I had never pawn it. That was a stupid mistake on my part . I really do miss the gun . But I will one day get me a 45 again .
@@rickeybullington68
Did you?
Why choose? Get both. I have the 9mm and will be getting the 45.
For both!
ImOffTheGrid I have both! especially with the mail in rebates now. you can get both online for $434 ($209 for 9mm and $225 for 45)
I have them both, Performance Center 9 and Shield 45. Both are great carry guns. What I noticed is the 9mm can be carried right against the skin in warm weather when using tee shirt for cover. The 45 with it’s extra stick-ling tends to rub skin raw, so I use it when cooler, tee tucked with a cover garment.
Kind of fun to be able to pick the lady you want to take to the dance.
I have both also.... .45 is my EDC
I have them both love them.
I have both 9mm and 45 shield. The 9mm is a performance Center version. Both are easy to shoot. I've had better accuracy with the 45. And it's not noticeably different in recoil.
Glad to hear this...I told my son I'm much more accurate with my .45 shield than I am with my 9mm shield...and that's shooting 230gr FMJ...He finds it hard to believe S&W hit the ball out the park on this PPF...I use the .45 as my EDC
bunjicarlin1 I carry my shield.45 often and I carry it at the 4 o’clock position and it doesn’t scratch my side as bad but makes it tolerable
I’m more accurate with 45 in general. Good to know I been thinking of getting the 45 shield
Just ordered the 45. Can’t wait for it to come in.
I just bought the .45 Shield with no safety today! I love it. I use to have the 9mm Shield but traded it for the G43. But I'm going to make the. 45 Shield my new carry pistol.
They call the .45 Shield the “pocket cannon” for a good reason!!!
G43 shoot better than 9mm Shield?
@@antoniotula262
Yes
Magguts just came out with the +2 round magazine extension for the M&P shield 9mm if you are into that. It adds 0.25 inches of length to either the flush or extended mag. We're talking about 10 or 11 total rounds with one magazine if you add the +1 in the chamber, that's pretty high capacity for such a small package.
I purchased and used the pre-assembled HYVE +1mags on my .45 shield and it SUCKED HARD...constant misfeeds using HYVES +1 mags.(I had 2 of them)..went back to my 7 round factory S&W mags with absolutely no feeding problems. I Hope the MAGGUTS did a better job...
I love my 45 shield.
Excellent review of both the 9mm and .45 ACP. Thank you Sir.
I got a 9mm Shield and it exceeded my expectations. So accurate and comfortable to hold. Maybe get the 45 later.
Buy both. Avoid the stress of decision making.
That's what I did
throw in the Shield .40 as well... while it's still allowed in the CA roster.
Bingo the 9 as a backup
Thank you for the video. Buying one soon to replace my glock 30 which i bought back in 2002. I have shot the 40 caliber shield, did not think it shot badly for the platform though it did start twisting in my hand a bit as the day wore on and i worked up a sweat. Im leaning towards the 9mm.
I can’t speak for Talon grips but I did install a very nice rubber Hogue Grip on my .45 Shield & it is absolutely fantastic!! A lot better recoil & better control & comfort!! I highly recommend checking into the Hogue Grip for the .45 Shield!!!
I got them both today. The $75 mail in rebate helps!!! Currently $245/9mm and $275/45 shipped, after rebate. I haven't shot them yet, but I really like the .45 in the way it feels and the trigger. I really think that the next generation 9 will have the same grip texture. Time to get some holsters and put some rounds down range!
where did you buy for that price?? Or where Can I get one?
I have both and currently carry the .45 Shield. My 9mm Shield is my summer EDC gun. I have ONE gripe about the .45 Shield: S&W needs to include a mag loader with it. Loading more than 4 rounds in a mag DEMANDS a mag loader.
Good comparison. One round more in 9mm to leave smaller holes all the time? I'll take the 45... The 45 rounds are a bit heaver but not a big deal really. I have the performance version and love it! As for the sharpness of the grip design, I applied one of the stick on aftermarket coverings. It feels and works great! I have the same thing on my Full Size Beretta 45 Storm. Coverings are very comfortable and cut out any chafing. I can carry either comfortably. The have been on my Storm for at least a year now and still no issues at all. They also make several kinds now too. FYI: I absolutely all around love my Full Size Storm!!! They just don't make a 45 compact or sub compact. The S&W MP Shield is a real nice piece.
I'M A PISTOLSMITH IN TEXAS THAT STARTED MY TRADE IN 1973, IT WAS NOT EASY, BUT I JUST SPECIALIZE IN EXTENSIVE TRIGGER WORK. I WATCHED YOUR WELL DONE VIDEO ON THIS SMALL 45ACP SHIELD, OF WHICH I WILL REFER TO MY CUSTOMERS.
MY OPINIONS COME FROM REALITY OF BEING FROM THE STREETS OF BROOKLYN BUT I WAS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. WHEN I SEE A 45ACP PISTOL IT IS STRICTLY MY OPINION THAT IT MUST HAVE A 4.25 INCH BARREL IN ORDER TO GET ANY VELOCITY FROM A 230 GRAIN HARD BALL BULLET. WHEN A FACTORY TELLS YOU THE LENGTH OF THEIR BARREL, IT IS SMOKE AND MIRRORS BECAUSE THEY ARE INCLUDING THE CHAMBER. SO IF SW SAYS IT'S A 3.3 INCH BARREL, YOU ARE ONLY GETTING 2.3 INCHES OF RIFLING, THEREFORE I WOULD NEVER CARRY THAT 45 SHIELD WITH ANYTHING BUT A 165, OR A 185 GRAIN BULLET AND VERY FAST BURNING POWDER SUCH AS BULLSEYE OR ACCURATE ARMS #2.
I AM EXPRESSING MY PERSONAL OPINION ONLY, MY FAVORITE POWDER IS VHITA VHUORI, MADE IN FINLAND.
I CARRIED A COLT GOV. MODEL FOR YEARS BUT NEVER CARRIED 230 BULLETS. I AM EXPRESSING MY PERSONAL OPINION AS I WORK ON OVER 100 DIFFERENT MODELS OF HAND GUNS AND LEGALLY CARRY ONE.
YOUR VIDEOS ARE VERY GOOD AND I THANK YOU.

VERY GOOD POINTS, BUT WHY ARE WE YELLING?
He shoots guns without proper ear pro maybe.
Teddy Jacobson turn your CAPS off
The fast burning powder in short barrels is a myth. I handload 120 grain Lehigh xtreme defenders with Ramshot Silhouette to +p pressure, and they go over 1300 fps in my Shield 45. Silhouette is a relatively slow powder. With the same powder and the 90 grain 9mm xd bullets, I get 1300 fps from a Sig p365. A fast powder like Titegroup doesn’t come close out of 3” barrels.
Great video. I got to shoot 100 rounds through a factory new M&P .45 Shield after getting an amazing deal today :-D. Amazing performance. Minimal kick for a .45, no misfires or missfeeds, sexy, reliable, powerful, fast as all get-out! An excellent buy, period. I noticed a few gripes (slide release is TOUGH [slingshot is a must], magazine's gotta be pushed in... that's actually about it!) that are very easily overlooked by all of its benefits. Excellent overview Hegshot87; very down to earth for those wanting to know more about the benefits of this platform for CC/EDC. I'm a .45 guy, so the choice was obvious. The improvements they made from the 9mm (such as the grip, and trigger) are simply amazing. I feel safe with this sidearm at the ready.
I have this 45 and love it! I’m a former Leo and carried a s&w 5906 9mm as my duty gun and really liked it ant therefore have always been a 9mm guy until I took a chance on this 45! It feels great,shoots great and I love it.the only thing I don’t like is the way the grip texture rubs against my side but I can easily fix that I carry this iwb and it conceals easy and has a great trigger I want to invest some into some nice sites not tha these are bad but might like something different,great review and great gun!
I have both models. After appx 500 rounds through the 45, I am as comfortable shooting it as the 9mm. I dont care for the new grip texture. Its too aggressive for me. I installed Talon Granulate grips on it. Perfect now. Buy this new 45 version. You will be very glad you did. Thanks for a terrific video, as usual.
Great review! I run the .45 and my wife runs the 9mm. She had the same problem with the 9mm magazines, so we both have Hyve Mag Extenders which fixed that. Then of course the Apex Triggers and Truglo TFO's.
+Jon Reynolds Awesome setup you guys have
M&P 45c close to a g19 much lighter than my 1911 but this shield 45 is much thinner will be a great option for one less round great video very informative love the channel
Yeah man its a great 45 carry gun. Thanks man
I love my 9mm Shield. I added the TLR6 and the Hyve +2 for my backup mag. One of my favorite guns.
Luke McGuire how are those mags working out
Getting my CC permit soon and checking out my options for a cc weapon. Very informative video. I think you just sold me on the .45.
Great comparison video. Very helpful for those trying to decide on which one to get. Myself, I have both & really hard to say which one i like best, they're both great, easy to carry, reliable, & at an affordable price point that is very friendly for almost anyone on the quest for finding the best CCW gun, for the money & performance. Enjoy your vids very much & have been a sub from your very beginning. "There-you-go" & "hold'em down".
+Larry Richardson Thanks for the support as always man
Cool comparison test Heg...as much as you & the Mrs like your SHIELD 9, you really should do the Apex trigger upgrade. They have a new flat faced trigger that is awesome.
I have the 9mm already and love the gun. Bought the 45 today and was lucky to get one there flying off the shelves at a very reasonable price of 369.00 before the $75 rebate.
I live in a state where mags are restricted to 10 rounds, so it makes no sense to me to buy a full size duty weapon chambered in the same that holds a round or 2 more whether im concealing it or not.
Pearce grips makes a +2 for the 7 round mag in the Shield 9. Makes the grip longer. Perfect length. Not as concealable but increased control. I like it a lot. Have a 45 Shield too. Excellent edc with a Hyve +1 on the 7 rounder. Ameiglo I Do Pros on both. Apec Duty/Carry trigger in the 9. Left 45 trigger alone. Both have Talon grips. Two great edc's. Like em both.
Nice comparison. I carry the shield but wanted a winter carry piece and the .45 should fit the bill.
You mentioned the difficulty in finding after-market goodies - and you said it over 3.5 years ago. I recently purchased the M&P Shield 2.0 Performance Center in .45 and I haven’t yet found a shoulder holster for it. I prefer a shoulder rig when I’m riding. Have two Galco shoulder rigs for my current EDC (a Colt Defender) and they’re fine - but they don’t seem to have holster modules for the M&P Shield 2.0. So, for now, it’s a Urban Carry OWB. Oh well….
I bought the 45 and mine has a built on laser that I could do with out and I bought the 9mm and also the 380 so I got like a little collection of the M&P going along with all my other toys been shooting for years and now working on a shooting range here at home.. keep the videos coming buddy.
I have been wanting a reliable small framed .45 for a long time. Smith & Wesson hit it out of the park with the m&p 45 shield. It’s a dream to shoot. Great gun at an even better price. Only issue is the lack of available accessories. Once they become available, I will have nothing bad to say.
I have the original 9mm shield. Put a rubberized talon grip on it also put talon grip on my 8 rd mags, that takes care of that sleeve sliding problem with the 8 rd mags really nice
Own the .45 variant. Comfortable to shoot, accurate and carries very comfortably in Simply Rugged "Cuda" leather.
Selling my apex trigger modified 9 mm shield due to 45 shield 2.0 purchase. I cannot believe how much better the trigger is on the 45 acp. I measured under 6# pull. My 9 before the apex felt like above 12#. Love the 45 acp. Added night sights to both.
Picked up 45 performance center....just put 100 rounds through it...normally a sig only guy but this little 45 is nice.
I have a gen 1 shield 9 I’ve carried for years....I also have a 2.0 performance center 45 shield. ...whatever I can get ammo for at the moment lol. Both great.
awesome videos ,great job. i was trying to decide which to get as my first edc and i love both but i think im going to go with the 45 also. thanks for your detailed info helped me alot
I literally just bought a shield earlier today. As soon as I held it I knew it was the one. I'm not a huge guy, 5'10 135lbs. It fit so well in my hand and I always love the recoil of a .45. I can't wait to put the first 100 rounds through it.
I got a 9mm this summer and I suspect they "ported" the trigger from the 45 back to the newer 9's. Break is clean, reset is very clean.
I have both the 9mm and the 45. Carry the 45 most of the time. I use the extended mags for both firearms. Just for grip reasons. Use a VEDDER LIGHT TUCK for the 9mm and a HIDDEN HYBRID for the 45.
Absolutely the perfect CONCEAL CARRY firearms.
45. I love it and trust it. Great review. Carry mine everyday.
I have watched ALOT of gun related videos over the years . I have to say , this is the 1st one of yours I've ever seen and it's one of the best I've ever watched !! Extremely useful and informative. Made me want to instantly subscribe. Looking forward to seeing more.. I am one of those die hard 1911 guy's, and yes I actually do carry every single day all day everyday 365 24/7. My son carries just as I do. Normally a 1911 but often he does carry the shield in a .40cal. You have just sold me on that .45 shield 100% that will be my very next gun purchase. The only thing that is making me consider steering away from the 1911 world is the weight. I carry the light weight aluminum frame 4" 1911s mostly. Once in awhile I carry the ol colt 5" government model. All in .45cal Thanks for making this video. Well done!!!!
+Rob Leroy Brown Thanks for the kind words. This would be a great addition for those comfortable conceal carry days especially for the 45 guys and gals.
EXCELLENT review. My Wife LOVES her .45 Shield 2. I'm HOPING for a 10mm Shield
There is no way they can contain a proper 10mm in less than 1" width. Glock 29 is probably the best we'll see for a compact.
I was on a major budget when I got my first concealed carry gun I carried an M57 Tokarev in 7.62x25 for a couple years the fmj has very high penetration but the JHP that PPU makes penetrates the same as 45 ball and makes a softball size wound going 1600 fps but the gun only holds 9 rounds and it's a full size gun time to slim down btw I only paid $179 for the tokarev
1600 ft per second????
I'm leaning towards the 45. Thanks for the info
+WeRunGuns - WRG No problem
I'm waiting for the Performance Center .45 Shield. I've seen the .40 with the night sights but I want the .45 with those grips.
It’s out now
I got a xds45 and I love it . I really want the the new sheild looks great . great vid buddy.
I actually preferred shooting the 45 than the 9. The M2.0 style stippling makes a considerable difference.
I carried the XD mod 2 9mm & 45, both. Virtually no difference to me when carrying. If you use a good holster, either should work. Carry what you shoot best.
Will the magguts magazine mod be able to add an extra round like it does on the 9mm?
I have the 45 for my first gun and I love it👊🏾
Ms hegshot handles that SW 9 like a man. Nice!!!
Great video! Great review!
Mrs. Hegshot87 might have better luck with a holster that offers a claw attachment to pull the grip into the body more for decreased printing.
Have you loosened the tension screw on your holster to accommodate the slightly wider .45? That worked for me in using my holster for a Smith and Wesson 442 with a Taurus 856 (6 shot vs 5 shot).
I got a xds45 and I love it . I really want the the new sheild looks great . great vid buddy. I dont have a s&w yet iam a glock guy and springfield also. I think it's time for a new S&W
I have been thinking about getting the .45 shield, been checking out the 4 inch model, but not sure if I should just go with an officer or commander model 1911. Both are thin and concealable, the same basic capacity, but the main problem for me is that I can shoot right handed, but I prefer shooting lefty, and neither platforms are lefty friendly. Decisions, decisions.
Great comparison video and great demonstration. A woman shooting especially shows the difference in recoil more so than with a man shooting because of forearm grip strength. I would go with the performance center ported 45 acpover the 9mm. Nothing wrong with 9mm of course, but for close up self defense you won’t beat the 230gr jhp or a 200gr+p. Now that is a manstopper. Tell your wife great job...she uses very good form. Thanks for this video it is by far the best comparison I’ve seen yet on the Shield.
I think you have done a very good job of outlining the differences that actually matter between these two Shields. There are two points I would like to make, and I apologize if I missed them in your video.
First of all, you did something really good when you compared the 9mm Shield with the extended magazine to the .45 Shield with the flush fit magazine and showed they were essentially the same. Most reviewers do not do this. What you effectively showed though is that the difference between the guns, when made the same size, is effectively 2 rounds, not 1, as the spec sheet would have one believe. I have both guns, and typically carry the 9mm IWB with the extended magazine in it, for a total of 9 rounds in-gun as opposed to the 7 I would have with the .45 made the same size. I find that the extended magazine in the .45 prints a bit much for in-gun use, but that is just a personal observation.
The second point is the expense to shoot both guns. If you compare the price of practice ammo in 9mm and .45, in a year's time you could have bought a 9mm Shield with the difference. This is not inconsequential, and as a full-time professional firearms instructor, I can say that it is easier for most new people to learn on a 9mm than with a .45. I also was able to purchase a factory night-sighted 9mm Shield with 3 magazines, brand new, for the same price as a standard sight .45 with 2 mags.
Having said all of that, I really like the .45 Shield. It fits my hand better, and like you, I'm willing to put up with a little bigger gun. I've also got 40 years of experience with the .45. So the Shield that is in the safe for use in training students is a 9mm, and the one that is on my hip when I leave the house is a .45. But I also know that for me, that choice is more about the heart than it is the head. I just have lots of confidence in that fat old .45 slug, because when I started out in the 70's, the 9mm didn't work well. Now it does, which is why I recommend it as a first choice.
Let me also say that I've been watching your vids for a while now. The first one I ever saw was one you did on an M&P Compact. You've come a long way since then in your reviewing style and skills and you are doing some really great work. I know how much time and effort goes into these things. Keep up the good work..
+Tom Crawford Thank you for the points you make and the kind words. Happy New Year
Shot the shield 9 for comparison against PPS M2, bought and have since sold the latter. Current own and enjoy both Shield 40 & 45. Shoot that 45 Shield better than any of my firearms, Glock 30 included, but closely gaining ground with my 40's and 9's. Mouse guns (22lr, 32acp, 380acp) serve a different purpose all together.
i have both and love them both,,, they are my cc guns,,, both are fantastic in all aspects
I have the classic 40c with 3 10 round mags and bought a 15 round bigger mag. Have a match grade barrell 40 and a match 357sig barrell
I got both of those weapons and they are both amazing started with the nine worked my way up to the 45 They are both smooth and accurate
Does anyone make mag extenders or mag guts type extra capacity for the .45 cal M&P Shield?
Good review. Maybe one day. For now I'll stick with my 9mm Shield. It's a backup carry to my Walthers anyway.
Lol. I can't help but notice that previous negligent discharge in the diamond plate at the range at 15:52
I own the Shield 9 and plan on getting the 45 as soon as possible.
Did you do a comparison in triggers between the 9mm performance center and the .45? If so which trigger felt better?
the 45 shield will fit perfectly in a disantis leather holster"owb".
I like the texture on the shield grip.
+BPGR Unloaded Yeah me too
thanks for taking time to make this video. You just sold me on a 45 shield bro.. stay safe & vigilant.
Sweet gun man!
I love a 45 but chose the Shield9. w. mag-guts+2/ for capacity. 9+1/10+1. The 9 is much more concealable & comfortable. I.m.o. Personal preference tho.
Mrs Hedgehog shoots way better than many people I see on the range , including me lol
Can you swap out XS night sights from the 9mm to the .45? I have had and gotten rid of my 9mm Shield, but I'd hate to have to buy another set of night sights.
Do they make aftermarket mag extensions for the 45 like they do for the 9? I have large hands I think the 7 round mag would be fine but if I could get another round I’d be happy lol
Well I have a glock 26-gen four it fits in my front pocket and will take any mag up to 30 rounds in case of war so thats what i carry but hats off to S&W they shine too
Can't complain about any of the calibers there great for what there made for close distances ive shot mine far out a few times just to see if it will hit it does maybe not every round in the clip but its better than most compacts.
Hey man I cant seem to find where to get those sleevless 8 round mags I just got one after watching your reviews on it. Got a link or the place where you picked up yours?
All the ones I see on sale are the ones with the damn sleeve. Ive googled for sleevless and NEW 8 round and cant find it. Hmm Well I did find a 7rnd with extension like that but no 8 is that a 7 rnd?
Great video, how do you like the 45 shield to the 9c as to carry and shooting, thanks again for the great video
Definitely thinner but very comparable in grip length. Idk though they both shoot amazing
will you be buying the XDs? I'm thinking of buying the Kahr MK9
Im trying to get all 3, working on 45 now and last one or 3 little brothers
I like both caliburs, my favorite range gun is my Colt 1911, but unless you live in a state where you can't use hollow-points you are better off with a 9mm. Balistically there is no real difference in end result plus you have more ammo, lower recoil, and the ammo is way cheaper. If you can only use ball ammo then a .45 has a real advantage.
CTC Green Laserguard sight should fit on the 45 Shield.
Will an Apex 9mm trigger fit the 45? , I thought you said yes but just checking
Great review.
They look pretty much the same size , do you know if you can use the same Kydek Holster for the 9mm and 45ACP?
Wonder how you feel now that the 9 2.0 is out?
I bought a 9mm M&P & the wife likes it better than her Remington RM380, so she's getting the 9mm Shield & I planned on getting myself the .45 or .40. Probably the .45 since I already have a XDS in .40 as a daily carry.
So are you going to pick up the 45 and carry that now?
I carry a S&W M&P Shield.45 if I choose to go with the 9mm I will carry the Springfield Armory XD-9mm subcompact!! Great video! Subscribed
Darn you! Had to buy 45 after your video.
+kn7gez Ha! Sorry bro
Wow. 45 Shield awesome. Small gun big hole sweet shooter
Drooling over the 45.
ive had my shield 45 since it first came out and dont regret it my everyday ccw!
what is the best defensive ammo for this i carry Winchester pdx145.
would like to hear from others.
TheRios7018 I carry the old school federal hydro shocks but sometimes hard to find thinking about hornady critical defense that I carry in my Taurus g2
Been carrying this in a 9 for years now and I haven’t felt the need to change.
Long as you're using some quality 9mm +p ammo i wouldn't feel the need to change either. Unless you just love the 45. Acp More than 9. Both are sufficient for two legged critters. And medium sized four legged
A bit unrelated but since mags seem to be a topic here... I run the 7 round 9mm mag with Mag-guts spring kits giving me 9 rounds per mag with a very slight length added to the mags make it perfect for a full grip with no pinky dangle... So 1 in the chamber 9 in the mag in the stock shield size. BTW these are shorter than the 8 round mags without that stupid sleeve that I hate so much
My local gun shop has 45 shields on sale for $339!!!! I'm going to put one on layaway monday
Will the .45 slide and barrel fit a 9mm shield? . Will the .45 mag fit in the 9mm
y'all should get one of those holsters today😁
