Okay, PB in Greenwood had about a dozen of the 13 rounders in stock when I was there around 3pm. They were expensive ($39.99), but since you can't get them anywhere else, well worth it. I picked up 5 myself and am thrilled to have them!

I like having the optics ready slide but the one they show in the picture looks like it does not sit anywhere near flush with the edges of the slide. But I have a G43X with MOS on the way. I have the original 9mm Shield along with a 45 version too.

Yeah, I noticed that. Looks terrible.

Thanks, just picked up 2 of them. A little salty, but oh well. I can always write "HK" on my Shield with a Sharpie to justify the mag price.

Yeah, I hate paying that kinda money for mags, but what can ya do? Heck, I paid basically $50 a piece for PDP mags a couple months ago as well. A good friend of mine said, you pay today's prices if you want something, you can't worry about what things used to cost. I try to keep that in mind when I have to fork out so much for stuff here lately.

I did the same today. Any pricier and it would be worth stepping up to the package deal they have right now. Buy a pair of spare mags, 1 10 round and one 13 round for $460 and the give you a spare pistol and case to keep it all in.

Just FYI for anyone who might care. Pearce grips now has +0 baseplates for the Sheild Plus 10rd mags. Makes a huge difference in the feel of the gun.

I might take a look as that is what I am using when I carry it.

The mag extension will help my lazy little finger droop, What is the currant central Indiana price? Best online I have found is $459.

Haven't really kept up with the various permutations of these, but looks like a new 3.1" barrel Optics Ready version has been added https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/mp-shield-plus?sku=13534

Introducing the M&P®9 Shield™ Plus 3.1" Optics Ready This new addition to the Shield Plus line comes standard with 3.1" barrel, night sights, and optics cut. Check out the video below.

BOOYAH!

BOOYAH!

Figured you'd like that.

 

[jbusyc]

It kinda looks like they changed the standard sights so you can more easily rack the slide off your belt.

 

[88E30M50]

That’s kinda cool. I didn’t see the sight cut style mentioned

 

[SAILORGOLF46]

Great! have been waiting to see if S&W would offer an optic ready model with NS to be competitive. Now the new model has moved to the top of my want list,
and how long I can wait for the price drop. Meanwhile my Shield gen 1 will continue service till my weakness takes over.

I'm more than satisfied with my OG Shield .45. The trigger is acceptable, it hits what I aim at, capacity is adequate.

It carries very well at 3 with the 6rd mag and a Pearce +0 pinky extension. The 7rd mag sits at 8.

Shot placement and efficient mag changes..... practice, practice, practice.

Dang it. I don't think I can justify buying a third shield. Already had one cut for optics.

Anybody had ant issues with the 13 round mags? I bought 2 when they became available at palmetto. One is fine but the other won't fit more than 11 rounds.
