ma legal m&p shield without safety

[BruceW]

has anyone seen the ma legal shields without the safety in LGS yet?

 

[mikelawtown]

Yes, Safety never got in my way on Mass one so I wasn't going crazy looking for one. PM me

 

[Serapis]

I have not seen any yet. I'd be interested

How the heck did they get around the safety? Did they up the trigger pull to 20lbs., or something?

Didn't realize there was a no-safety shield that was MA compliant.

I have one in 40. The left hand shooters will appreciate them. I still like the 9MM better but since I am a 357SIG fan, I got the 40 and I am waiting for a barrel from storm Lake. They claim 357SIG Shield is on for early 2015

I actually like the safety on the shield its small but easy to comfortably reach

As long as you have a holster that covers the safety you shouldn't have any issues. I have an owb and I find it engaged sometimes

This is a perfect example of why I'm a fan of training with the safety if you have a gun equipped with one. I had a similar thing with the safety on my SR9c catching on my holster occasionally, so rather than risk having it accidentally engage, I started engaging it all the time, and practiced sweeping it off on my draw. Since it had a down stroke to disengage similar to a 1911, it was easy to make muscle memory. Now whether it's on or off I have the same motion on the draw. Is the Shield safety setup in a similar fashion?

Yup.. Down to disengage.

Or you could just disable the safety, very easy to do.

Yup there listed now on S&W's sight...


9 mm



40 S&W


I like the idea of having no Safety being a Leftie...

I'm a righty and I don't like the safety. Look at the trigger, 10+|- pull, ouch.
Got one with a 5 lb. trigger and its a good shooter.
I also have a Walther PPS with no safety and its fine.

 

[M&P]

The safety never bothered me. I practice with it on whenever performing draw strokes.

I usually have it in a crossbreed, but sometimes wear it with a 5.11 holster shirt when running in colder weather. In that case I actually like the safety, as the holster shirt doesn't provide a whole lot of trigger protection. Otherwise I would probably have preferred no safety.
