Tell Me About The S&W Shield in 40 S&W - Page 2

I prefer my .40 S&W guns to be 4” double stack at least, but if I got a good deal on a .40 shield I’d buy it.

Right now I’m comfortable with a Shield9 as an EDC but would give a Shield40 a try.

I would say go for it! You like the shields, all three calibers is good.

I checked on that. You end up spending enough to make it probably not worthwhile, vs. just buying a 9mm Shield.

Really? That's surprising, I'm used to seeing ordinary M&P Conversion Barrels for as little as $89, and M&P9 Shield magazines aren't very expensive, so I assumed that it would be as easy as buying a 9mm conversion barrel plus a couple 9mm magazines.

I guess I'm just used to the simple caliber conversion between a .40 and a 9mm Glock.
