Rifleman Review: Smith & Wesson M&P45 Shield
American Rifleman TV presents a detailed review of the Smith & Wesson M&P45 Shield pistol. This mid-size, single-stack .45 ACP handgun features a polymer frame, striker-fired action, and a 7-round capacity. The review highlights its compact dimensions (4.8" tall, 6.45" long), stainless steel slide with Armornite finish, three-dot sights, and a 3.3" barrel. It also discusses the fish-scale slide cuts for manipulation, sculpted contours for holstering, and safety features like an articulated trigger safety and optional manual thumb safety. The grip's wrap-around texturing and the included 6- and 7-round magazines with witness holes are also covered, positioning it as a solid choice for daily carry.
