Customer Reviews for Smith & Wesson M&P40 SHIELD 6+1/7+1 40Smith & Wesson 3.1"

Great gun it's on my side every day of the week, unless it's out on the range . I have the ar15, 45 2.0 and the 40 shield love them all .

This is an exceptional gun for concealed carry. Great design and is 1 inch thick. very easy to carry all day. Best for up close activity. As always thanks Buds for prompt and accurate service.

It's not bad as I thought it would be. I expected more felt recoil and less accurate

Great gun love it buds was right on point and it was shipped on time

This is my carry gun and thankfully i have not had to use it...YET!!!

Had to have sight adjusted buy a gunsmith. Never really shot straight.

This is one of my favorite handguns that I own. Great for an every day carry.

It’s a beautiful gun but would highly recommend the 9mm though. The 40 cal has more recoil.

I like this gun the only thing is it's hard to load other then that its good

Ehh it’s ok. I rather get the shield in the 9mm

Great gun! Purchase went smooth, with fast shipping!

This review is based on my personal experience, there is no disrespect intended at all. Just want to give other small frame folks something to think about, a different perspective.
Firearm is nice to look at, similar to my H&K subcompact 9, came with 3 mags, feels ... ok in my hand, feels kind of square, my mind immediately went to a square chair leg, it’s heavy, racks pretty easy, discharge just plain hurt, not real sure bout weight distribution cause can’t stop thinking bout a square chair leg

Nice pistol with good balance. The slide is a little stiff. And the clip is really hard to load after the fourth round is in it.
Shoots smoothly but lifts a little bit high from Target. Well made and good to own.
I've enjoyed this pistol in 40 caliber very much at the range. After getting used to it. I can get at least a consistent pattern. Terrific purchase at a good price.

Great gun for the money. I have large hands for a smaller gun I get a good purchase. Can’t go wrong with a S&awesome
Nice weight slim and easily useable.

Perfect for carry, shoots great, cant beat price. My wife enjoys shoring it.

After picking up the gun I went to the range to fire 50 rounds. I had mis-feeds on the 2nd round on two occasions. I don't remember so I''m not certain if it was the same magazine or one mis-feed per magazine so I can't say for sure if it was a gun problem or a magazine problem. A few days later I was shooting at home and on one occasion the slide did not lock back after the last round was fired. At home I didn't have any mis-feeds. My shot groups seemed ok but I was hitting left of my aiming point. This could have been because the target I was shooting at was a black bulls eye. Again, I'm not necessarily blaming the gun. It could be the shooter. It's been many years since I've done some pistol shooting. I do like the compact size. Overall I am satisfied with the gun. I hope to improve the targeting and not have mis-feed or slide lock back issues.

Buds is always has good inventory, best prices, and fast shipping with tracking numbers, best deal in town. The Smith and Wesson is, in my opinion, the best made.

Great gun!! 100% reliable. I shoot 135gr and 180gr JHP and it handles them very well. Accurate and reliable.

Another great pickup from Bud's Gun Shop. This little S&W is a bit snappy in 40 caliber, but it is most definitely one great gun to add to your collection! Great prices, great service, you most definitely can't go wrong with Bud's!!

Had this for a few years now and still love it. Just forgot to review it. Very size appropriate for a small-mid frame guy like me for my CCW. Very dependable. Pleasure doing business with Buds as always.

Perfect gun for CCW....Thanks buds for the quick shipment of my gun!! Could not ask for a better deal...Thanks again!!!

Great price and fast shipping will do buisness again thank you budsgunshop

I haven’t pick up my gun yet ,but es exchange has received it.

Very nice for everyday carry, can wear all day with no problems would recomend this weapon and reliability smith and Wesson has it all

No fun to shoot in 40 S&W. Would buy it in 9mm if I did it again. Still, easy to carry. Without the extended magazine i can carry in a pocket. And I still think 40 S&W has more power than 9mm, despite the FBI lab changing their tune.
