I watched a Julie G overview of the Shield +.
The handgun grip remains narrow. The magazine has been redesigned and is unique to the Shield Plus. That answers my question about the comparison to the M+P 9C double stack width.
Julie put the trigger pull scale on her Shield Plus. It was more than 4 lbs but less than 5 lbs.
As far as the Ford/Chevy/Mopar arguement...Haven't we grown up a little since High School? Good Grief!
Its your money,your hand,and your choice as to what you want to carry.
And mine for me!!
I'm grateful to S+W,Glock,Springfield,Ruger,etc for giving us all these choices so each of us can probably find one that suits us. I don't see a good reason to knock S+W for this offering.
Size XL gloves are pretty tight on me. XXL's are better. Someone who wears a size M might not choose the same gun I do.
Some folks just prefer a Glock 43 regardless of mag capacity. Thats really OK with me. They are armed .
My ONLY concern applies to all of the choices.
Lets not derail this post. A discussion of potential new gun law deserves its own thread.
I've been background checked Fed,State,and local,with fingerprints over a 60 day perion to get my Concealed Carry. I'm not concerned about my background.
I AM concerned that I'll be unlikely to find a Shield Plus to buy before some change in background check is in effect. I AM concerned that may subject me to some registration of guns I already own.
It MAY be I'm not buying any more guns,
But at this point,its an unknown and not very knowable. There is no point in a big discussion based on speculation and fear.
I can look for one. IF I can find one I can buy,in stock, I can ask my FFL what are the the laws and requirements on that day, and go through with it or not.
I'd buy a Shield Plus if I could find one under today's law.
