In the world of concealed carry, there are certain obstacles and compromises that we have to make. You want to have the best chance to adequately defend yourself, but conceal your firearm as much as possible. Since there is no pocket sized, 100 round pistol, with shoulder stocks, sacrifices must be made. A few months ago I found a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield chambered in 9mm with no thumb safety! I had been looking for one for a pretty decent amount of time with no luck. When I found this one, I jumped at the chance. They come with a flush fitting, 7 round magazine and an extended 8 round magazine. The 8 rounder fits perfectly so you can imagine that the 7 rounder is a little bit less than comfortable. If you have larger hands and a Shield, you know what I mean. After a few Googles and some research, I found my solution. Pearce Grip Extensions! This thing makes a WORLD of difference and doesn't require much effort. If you're considering a Shield and have a larger sized hand, check out the video. I'll show you just how easy the grip extension is to install and how much better you can grip your Shield. They are also made for other pistols if you're interested.

AuthorKeep in mind that I am by no means a gun expert. I have had some safety, handling, and shooting training, but nowhere near the amount I feel is needed to claim the "expert" title. With that being said, I am a man that owns a LOT of firearms, knives, and gear! I have been shooting since I could hold a rifle and have even competed in and won a few competitions. The advice and tips that I give are based on personal experience, but are by no means to be taken as law. Please consult a trained, certified professional for all your firearms needs. Enjoy! Archives
