I picked up a shield plus while S&W was doing a rebate for 3 free magazines. Ended up getting three 15 round mags for it. I wasn’t aware they worked either but was super pumped when I got them.
@@tongueofdisco4122 I tried to get in on that, but I bought mine one month early. Stupid ol' S&W should have given them to me anyway after all the hell they put me through with my Poorformance Sinner. 😏
@tongueofdisco4122 same here. I sent off for my 3 magazines for the rebate and was pleasantly surprised that I got 15 rounders. Sadly, one magazine accepts only 14 rounds no matter how much I try.

Ahoy there ! You will probably only be allowed to use 10rd magazines, correct ? I'll be glad when they finally axe that law because it is SO unconstitutional. I think that's one that's being challenged now, right (or is upcoming) ? Thanks for your feedback, and thanks so much for watching ! 😬
@@whatwouldlewdo Yes you are correct we will be receiving 2 10rd magazines with the purchase. It really is a shame I believe the most recent attempt to lift the ban wasn’t successful(back in October) and I don’t know if there’s anything coming up soon. It totally is unconstitutional not to mention we’re paying the same if not more for the same gun with a smaller magazine.
Bummer. Well, at least you can get the grip extension for the 10rd mags. I really like the way it looks with that on there. Functional AND aesthetically pleasing. 😁
Dude, love your down to earth and very informative breakdown. Is the watch one of the G-Shock Analog/Digi combo? Will check out your other content. Thanks
@@turo3066 Thank you kindly for complimentary feedback ! We actually mentioned this watch in our 2024 EDC video. It IS the combo. I still wear it to this very day, and love it ! Here is the link to the video if you're interested: th-cam.com/play/PLbkgS_wbh0S_0CNHe0N_ZV83Rv4ecUZGI.html&si=fhNL4FmUlR5idRs6 Thank you so much for watching ! ❤️
XS big dot is super fast sight acquisition and works extremely well. Red dots are fine but need a lot of practice as you do not want to be fumbling around in a dangerous situation.
You're correct about the need to practice red dots. However, I'm not sure I would go changing the internals to my pewstolas, as that introduces more for room for error. Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for watching.! 😊
@@whatwouldlewdo hey there! I am completely ignorant but looking to own a gun soon, so I want to ask, what internals would be changed in this scenario? I thought new iron sights or red dots were just placed on top of the slide? Unless you’re referring to the milling required to put a red dot on a gun that isn’t optics ready. I appreciate any explanation so I know what not to do to my firearm to avoid malfunction. Thanks 🙏🏽
@@notever8401 As far as internals go, usually folks will swap out triggers or recoil springs, but that's about it. Honestly the trigger on this is great, so no need to change anything inside. We have two versions -- this one, and the Performance Center model. The PC model has no cut for an optic, but it's ported for recoil reduction. Therefore if someone wanted an optic for the PC version, unfortunately milling would be the only option. I hope that answers your question. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Thanks so much for watching !
Thanks for the video. I just purchased the grip plug for my shield plus. I never knew they made them. Seems odd that it didn't come with one since all sorts of crap can gather up there. Luckily I found one made specifically for the plus so won't need to adjust the size. I already had everything else except I got an armalaser TR40GS laser pointer so I had to shelf my pole craft holster b/c they don't have a form for armalaser. In fact the only holster company I found that fits armalaser is crossbreed holsters. Which is massive and I most likely would have gotten a different laser if I knew that. Anyway hope my comment helps someone out as much as your video helped me. Small details of info come in handy. Thanks again
@@billymulholland3543 There is one product I would recommend as a replacement for the Pearce Grip extension, and that's the plus 3 extension from Magguts. Not only does it add 3 more rounds to the 10 Rd mag, but it looks almost identical to the Pearce Grip extension. Otherwise I still recommend everything else. Thank you for your feedback, and thank you so much for watching ! ❤️
Just picked up my Shield Plus today on Black Friday. S&W have a $50 rebate going on as well. Thanks for the video and the links to the accessories. I should have those in a couple days 👍
Score ! I too have a wee bit of a haul to show you guys. Let me know how you like those accessories. I hope you enjoy them. Let me know if you have questions. 😁
@@whatwouldlewdo I got the grip extender and the plug. Both work well and I used your heat gun trick (thanks!). I also got two M&P Shield Plus, Equalizer 9mm 15-Round Magazines and they fit well. Finally made it out to the range a couple days ago to shoot with my 2 boys. We were all impressed with the gun and accessories after going through 200 rounds. It will be my carry gun going forward once I decide on a holster. Thanks again for the great videos!
@@jjparks667 Awesome, pal. Glad you liked everything and that the Shield Plus has been a good shooter ! Thanks for your feedback, and thanks so much for watching ! 😊
@@robjohnson8493 Thanks, mate ! I was thinking about updating this video because some viewers brought a better pinky extension by the Magguts company. It not only extends the same as the Pearce Grip extension, but also adds three rounds, giving you 13 round capacity. If you're looking for one, I would recommend you check that out instead.
Thanks again ! I just got the 10 rd grip add-on and was lil worried about it not clicking in place but finally got it, seems to be solidly in place. And I must say I really like the 10 round clip now as my pinky has a home now lol ! Thx !
I got the DPP plate with the Holosun 507k and it cowitness’ perfectly with the sights on yours. I have the exact same model. I chose to not run the TLR6. I instead EDC the Arkfeld flat light for my PID, but I’m prior military and have a ton of practice running low light drills. I recommend all go through a class to learn that philosophy. I do recommend a red dot even on a pocket rocket. It just speeds things up crazy fast. In my view it’s more likely you may be rescuing someone else verses yourself and that red dot will come in handy.
I was SO close to getting a dot, but got the wrong size, and the appropriate model is the wrong price. 😆 I now have two different OR pewstolas, so one of them will definitely end up with a dot on it sooner or later. I'm just not sure when. Those babies are steep ! Haha Thank you for your feedback, and thanks for watching ! 😁
@@whatwouldlewdo they are definitely expensive. The one I have on mine costs just as much as the firearm lol. At the end of the I decided for what I gain was worth the cost. I want every advantage I can get in a firefight. They definitely do that especially if you are already proficient with irons. I will admit it took some getting used to wearing it on my ankle. The shield is my backup. My IWB is my Walther PDP Compact Pro SD. I carry it 100% of the time. Shield about 10% of the time. Depends on where I am. Most of the time it rides in my truck.
An open bottom holster is ACTUALLY GOING TO KEEP LESS DUST AND HAIR out of your firearm. If the bottom is closed, it will carry all the dust, lint, hair, and dirt that falls off and around you all the time and have it meshing with your firearm. Open bottom allows all the stuff to fall out.
Thanks so much for the compliment ! I have tried the 15 rounder yet. I'm sure it would be good for training, but probably a lot hard to conceal than the the 12 Rd mag.
@@jllrue I only have the 13 rounder at the moment. I picked up a couple of pocket mag carriers that I'm trying out for review. Not sure if I prefer them over just shoving a mag in the pocket. We shall see. Thanks for your feedback and thanks for watching ! 😁
I own an M&P 2.0 10mm with a 4.625 inch barrel no safety lever and put a Carver Custom Tungsten HEAVY Guide Rod replacing the lighter stainless steel guide rod. Had it quad ported by Mag-Na-Port. X/S steel optic height night sights with aluminum mounting plate mounted Holosun 508T titanium red dot. Apex aluminum flat safety lever trigger upgrade. Floyd’s aluminum base plate one round added with no spring change upgrade to hold 16 rounds over 15 rounds.
Me personally, I don't tinker with the internals. My mods are primarily on the outside. I just think it's safer that way, but to each his own, as they say. 😊 Thanks for adding to the conversation, and thanks for watching !
@@jeffreylocke8808 My main concern is the reliability and longevity of the aftermarket parts as opposed to the competency of the installer. A lot of these aftermarket companies making these components aren't held to the same level of scrutiny as the gun manufacturers. As for the quad porting, wouldn't it have been cheaper to get the PC model with the factory ports ? I know that milling can be quite steep ! 😳
Great video my brother I couldn’t make my mind up about the shield plus since it felt too small for my hand and I’m in California so all I get is flush fit 10 round mags but this is a game changer thanks
Oh, that grip extension definitely makes it feel so much better ! Glad I could be of assistance ! Thanks for your feedback, and thank you for watching ! 😊
Hey man me again 😃 well I gotta say that the Pearce 10rd grip add replacement adds to a faster draw. I’m finding that lil pinky extensions. Really work super well pulling out of the holster. I’ve been practicing/ training g with it and folks … it’s a big improvement in many ways. I’ve put back the 13rd clip and now carrying the 10rd with this Pearce replacement. It’s awesome ! Well worth the $20 bucks for sure.
@@roberthancock2563 The holster on this video does the job, but there are definitely far better options out there. I currently rock MIE Productions holsters.
having carried a shield for 10 years (since it came out) heres some of my input. holster is totally up to the individual. i personally went back to an OWB pancake with my shield. i honestly wouldnt bother with the pearce grip extension.. i had it, and at the end of the day, i wanted more rounds than just comfort, so i bought more extended mags from smith. i can still stuff the gun in my pants pocket. my old mag with the pearce is somewhere in my range bag lol. the channel in the grip is for a couple of things.. both of which gaston glock has spoken on in past lectures when he was alive. the "void" as he called it was for sand and water to drain out of if being serviced in the field by the military. also a lanyard could be fixed into that area as well. i think later on they found they could strip mags with it. nothing is really gonna "get up in there" if you check and clean your gun periodically you'll be fine. As for that streamlight light.. save your money. 100 lumens is NOT enough to be effective in stopping an assailant coming at you. its just not.. my pocket carry light that uses one battery has almost 700 lumens. you're weapon mounted light isnt supposed to be used to scan a scene and look for anything.. its to light up a target, blinding the target and giving you an advantage.. you should NEVER use a weapon mounted light to survey an area. because if you come across an innocent person or a family member you're now pointing a loaded gun at them with a light on it, if its a stranger and depending on what state you're in, it could be classified as brandishing or even assault. always carry a separate flashlight if you're carrying a small shield. dont buy a 100 lumen night light and put it on the gun. while lately i've been wanting a gun with an optic, i held a shield recently with one and.. other than looks and ooh ahhh factor, theres (in my opinion only) no reason to have a red dot on a gun this small. ive been shooting long enough to know that i can hit anything i aim at within 7-14 yards lol. and thats where i see the shield coming into play as a close up SD weapon. im considering sending my 5 inch m&p 2.0 to Floyds custom and have them mill it for a red dot :) good video, i disagree about the light
I hear Floyd's does good work when it comes to customizing firearms, so you shouldn't be disappointed. However I've not used them for myself, so I'm not making a recommendation.
I'll try to remember that next time. Not sure why I wouldn't have stuck it in the holster. LOL My apologies. Thanks for your feedback, and thanks so much for watching. 😁
I would have went with a kit from Mag Guts instead of the Pierce pinky extension. The Mag Guts kit comes with a pinky extension and increases capacity to 13+1.
@@DaGunbunny I'm aware of the Magguts extension, but I don't like the way it looks. The Pearce Grips blends in well. Thank you for your suggestion though. Also thanks for watching ! 😊
Get a crimson trace red dot can pick one up for 80 to a $120. Works really well with the iron sights as well. Definitely worth the money for the average person!
I did actually. Just haven't gotten around to reviewing it yet. I actually found a cheap one on PSA for about $70 on sale to test the realm of the red dot world. It definitely has some drawbacks, but it served its purpose. Thanks for your suggestion, and thanks so much for watching. 😊
Now it does cost more than a standard pinky extension, but mag guts sells a conversion kit for the 10 rounder that gives you the pinky extension but also adds 3 rounds without adding any lenth.
Yes, I'm aware of the Magguts extension. I prefer the looks of the Pearce Grip extension. However, I can't argue against getting the extra rounds being less beneficial. LOL Thanks for watching, mate !
Scamazon has suddenly decided that they cannot ship kydex holsters to me in Colorado - I discovered this tonight using the link you supplied above. I'd have to ship to my brother in AL or mom in TX, and then pay for shipping to get them forwarded to me. I went directly to the manufacturer website to order, but it's irritating and I plan to call amazon about that on Monday (if I can figure how to contact a live person about a "non-order" issue).
@@LarryGanz Whaa--!? Things are getting crazy, mate. Personally I've been waiting I don't know how long on a stinking tax stamp from the GAY-TF for a suppressor we're supposed to review. The approval items were flying like hot cakes a few months ago, but now that the election is around the corner, they seem to be trying to keep us from exercising our rights. Perhaps they know something we don't. 🤔
I've used Mag guts on my P365 and P365XL for over a year now quite successfully & they finally became available for the Shield Plus 10 round mags only. The extension looks the same as the ones in your video but adds 3 rounds. And it doesn't add any length to the back side of the mag. I have talked with other IDPA competitors and we all agree that the only good thing about night sights is that you can see where the gun is on your night stand. They serve no other purpose as you cannot see their luminosity when any surrounding light comes on. So for me who shoots in day, dusk, & at night, fiber optic sights and good 3 dot white sights work the best (as what all comes with the Shield Plus), with night sights being the next best, & the worst sights are thin & poorly painted white 3 dot sights (like on the suppressor height sights on the CZ P10C). I also took the light off of the Shield Plus as it conceals better & is easier to handle as there is more room in the trigger guard without it. It being physically smaller is also a plus when carrying.
I've heard of Magguts, but I'm not sure the added mass to the grip is worth the two extra rounds. The one you mentioned for the P365XL, for instance: It looks about as long as the 17rd mag, which is not ideal for carry. I think the 12rd OEM mag is the sweet spot. Plus I haven't seen an offering from Magguts where I thought it looked better than any other company, but as they say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
For THIS Shield !? Funny enough, a few nights ago while I was messing with my P365 that has a rail on it, I actually wondered if they had one for the Shield Plus.
@@whatwouldlewdo sounds good. I couldnt get the 13th round in and it wouldnt lock back on last round or with an empty round in. We will see what some new parts do.
@@BOBERT124 I had the same issue with not being able to load that last round in there, but no problem with it locking back. Just let me know if you still have the problem loading that last round.
Lmaoooo. Just trade it in now man. Get a glock. My didn't work 9 rounds in. Dont waste time on new junk I parts that'll break again or something else will. My trigger was broken
Hi, Andrew. There are two options for the standard Shield Plus: one with an optic cut, and one without. It sounds like you purchased the one without. Unfortunately your only options would be to either buy the optics ready slide, or to get your current slide milled (cut) for an optic. Most places are pretty expensive, and cost almost as much as a new slide. However there is one company that does really good work that's also affordable. Check them out. I know they could get you squared away. Let us know how it goes if you decide to use them. ☺️ bit.ly/49aA10h
I don't believe this is correct, because there are lots of models that are made without the hole, even some of their own models. Since making this video I have learned that on modern firearms the hole is USUALLY there to allow for mag well or back straps to be installed. While S&W went on to do this on many of their newer models, I have yet to see any such support (OEM or aftermarket) for the Shield Plus. Perhaps it was a plan that they never fully flushed out in R&D. 🤷🏻♂️ Anyway, thank you for your feedback, and thanks for watching ! 😊
Holosun 507K X2. Dremel the rear 2 posts down flush, file the front two posts down a millimeter or so, seal it all back up with Birchwood Casey Perma Blue, and replace the optic screws with JagerWerks (the Holosun screws are less than optimal). It fits perfectly. I run an optic because of my eyes. I wear progressive lenses, and if they shift, or fall off, I can't see the stock sights to acquire a sight picture. The circle dot reticle also plays well with my stigmatism. Extended thumb safety. A lot of us hate the thumb safety and don't use it (noticed Lew's was off during the video). There's a guy on the pistol-forum that has started making an extended thumb safety. I've just reached out to get one to try. The grip texture is abusive against my skin (I carry IWB at 3:30). Light sandpaper on the grip and a finishing file on the mag release took care of it.
Not sure I want to take a Dremel to my pewstola, but I am aware that it is an option. I'm not sure why you would want an extended thumb safety if you don't like to use it. Did I miss something there ? LOL The grip doesn't bother me because I wear a compression shirt (AKA workout shirt) underneath and it doesn't bother me at all. Conversely I have worn it without the shirt underneath on days when it wasn't hot (to avoid sweating on the gun) and I didn't notice it at all. Perhaps it's a tender skin issue for some folks. I'm not sure. 🤷🏻♂️ Thanks so much for adding to the conversation, and thanks for watching ! 😁
@@seanpellegrino2989 There was no other option for the grip plug when I posted this video, which is why I used the M&P 9 plug and just slightly modified the fitment.
Couple things... I've nothing but great performance with Vedder Holsters. I prefer the metal belt Clio they use vs the manufacturers that use plastic. Plus the metal clip doesn't protrude as much, so it doesn't print as much as the plastic style. The grip plug is purely asthetic. The hole does not extend in to the mechanics of the gun. I like the pinky extension for the 10 rd mag. May have to get one. The light is cool too! I didn't know those existed as an option since there's no rail on the Shield. Do you notice the light hindering you trigger finger?
Yes, the grip plug is purely aesthetic, but I'm pretty big on that, so a huge, gaping hole staring at me just wasn't going to work. LOL "At Vedder holsters, we pride ourselves on stalking people on the internet...and we hold true to that." I FINALLY stopped seeing their ads ! 😂 There's another grip extension that one of our viewers suggested by "Magguts" that add two more rounds, I think. I didn't care much for the looks of it, but it's an option you may want to look into. No problems with my fingers and this light, and I suppose you could say that I have average size hands. Streamlight usually makes quality lights at a decent price. All the links should be in the video description. Thanks so much for watching. ☺️
@@clutchshot247 No, sir. They only made the one version, which is the TLR-6 you see in this video. The Shield not having a rail really limited its options. Thanks for watching. ☺️
Well, I mentioned that in the video. LOL The link to the "mag" is also in the description box. It's by a company called "Pearce Grips." Hope that helps.
@@whatwouldlewdo No problem! Alien Gear has also partnered with Nightstick to make a holster for that combination of _pewstola_ and laser/light. I think they even give out a coupon for a discount on the TSM-15G when you get the holster.
@@whatwouldlewdo Ah, I can imagine what a pain that feels like. I’ve been researching and looking for holsters for when I turn 21 next year. Something from Safariland with ALS or GLS would have been nice, but they don’t have much for a Shield Plus. And the GLS working the way it does makes it incompatible with a laser/light setup.
@@FranciumBoron This is a decent holster for cheap, but there are far better options available. One brand I've come to like a lot is MIE Productions. Lots of customization.
@@justinyonker4666 Yes, it does. People have told me that I didn't put it into the holster, but I could have sworn that I did. I think people are just skipping through and are missing it. 😆
@@RodshidaDavis Yes, the holster I mentioned on here is a light bearing holster for the TLR-6. There are better holsters available, but this one is affordable and a decent starting point.
I didn't find much, but the recent company I've been using is MIE Productions. It's a bit more than Amazon type holsters, but the quality wouldn't disappoint. I'll leave a link for you to consider. They may also still have our promo code to save a bit of moolah. Try WWLD10 at checkout.

My OR Shield Plus has the tritium night sights, but my PC model has the red and green (Christmas lights, as I call them). That might be the model you want to go with.
I have the Holo Sun model HS 507 K X2 on my Shield plus. I like the 407 K green dot better that I have on my 365. Anyway I have old eyes , so the dot works better for me. I didn't use an adapter plate. I wanted to co witness my sights that come with the gun. I wanted the sight to sit low, so I ground off the little tips sticking up that were in the way of the Holosun. I have the ten round extended finger rest and the plug. I chose to carry a light at night so I can holster my gun in my regular no light holsters for the shield. I choose no light for concealed carry, because I think if I had to use at night ,it would be in a store or lighted parking lot possibly ? Anyway at home I have a light on my larger home defense gun, because more than likely things happen at night , when your asleep ?
I also have the 507K. It's a nice red dot, but the window is a bit tiny when compared to cheaper models. I have lights on all my handguns, but I also carry a small flash light too. I find the lights not only serve as light (obviously), but it gives me more to grip onto and hold the front down when shooting. Thanks for your feedback, and thanks so much for watching ! I hope you decide to stick around with us. Got plenty more content coming up. 😁
@@whatwouldlewdo what problems have you had should I just get rid of the the slide lock is also extremely hard to push down as well almost impossible do with one hand at times
@@Smokinstrainstation88 Get rid of the slide lock ? It's pretty much essential to the gun functioning properly. 😛 As for the issues I've had, I had trigger issues, I had finish issues, I had trouble loading the final round into both the 10 and 13, and a nightmare of a time getting the pistol back from S&W in working condition.

@@whatwouldlewdo lol I meant to say get rid of the gun 🤣 an okay was kind of banking in this to be a decent gun il never even get my money back out of it
That really depends on the model of the light/laser you're attempting to put on it, but they do have a few options available for this particular model. I believe one of them is from Crimson Trace, and I'm fairly confident that Streamlight has a light/laser combo.
@@nubekillerjake9400 Perhaps the idea is that the weight will control recoil, but it really only matters if the weight is at the front. Therefore I'm not sure what purpose it would serve. Thanks for chiming in, and thanks so much for watching. 😊
The usual gap you get with the mag bases in general, yes, but it's no more than factory base plates. The one toward the back where the frame drops down also seems to be the same as the one you'd see with the S&W base pad. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for watching. ☺️
@@whatwouldlewdo I appreciate your response. I just picked a sheild this passed weekend and looking into all these things you mentioned. Video was exactly what I needed. Thanks, again!
I put a red dot on my boy , and its like cheating haha . I have the holosun 407c red dot . I highly recommend it . Once you use a red dot , you wont go back to irons haha .
I now have a Holosun 507K that I'm kicking around, but I still practice with my irons, even through the dot. I want to know how to use those fast and effectively as well if the dot shouldn't work when I need it to.
The pearce grip pinky extensions suck get the factory ones from smith, they are more proportional and match the grip texture. Switch out sighs and put on a pair night fision sights, they are brand they put on their newer guns.
I put a gray one on...I love those colors together. Took about 10 minutes to stretch it on there. I got it because the grip is just a little to slim for my long fingers...that little bit of thickness makes a world of difference to me. Plus it smooths out the sandpaper grip against your skin when concealing. Be safe all.

Until more recent years, getting a red dot was more strictly optional. After being 40-something plus and needing the services of the optometrist and ophthalmologist, I have become more interested in an optic. You may get there soon.

@@Seablack66 Are you referring to Magguts ? I've heard a lot of folks recommend them, but I didn't much like the way it looked on the Shield Plus. Anytime, pal ! Thanks for watching. ☺️
A bit of friendly advice, you should get a holster that completely covers the trigger. I couldn’t really tell if that one does because you never put the gun in it it but it doesn’t look like it does. Especially for appendix carry.
Yes, it covers the trigger completely. None of my holsters leave the trigger exposed. I know better than that. LOL Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for watching. 😊
I notice a lot of the reasons you give for these upgrades is dirt and debris getting into places. I highly recommend everyone get a corded electronic air blower. I got mine on amazon for $30. Everyday when i get home i blow off my gun, mag, flashlight, knife and holster. My equipment stays clean and i work in very dirty environment daily.
I think I only mentioned the grip plug being used to keep out debris (as well as aesthetically pleasing.) Haha. I keep my carry gun (all my guns actually) as clean as can be, but the carry guns are always gonna require more lovinz. Thanks for your feedback, and thanks so much for watching ! 😊

The hole in the back of the grip is a drain hole. When Gaston Glock heard that people were putting plugs in the grip of his pistols, He said, "Leave it to Americans to put a plug in a drain hole." Lol!

The SCH9 Charging Handle for the Smith and Wesson Shield Model 1 and 2 9mm and SW40 (Including Shield Plus) aids with racking the slide. Instruction is simple and requires no permanent modifications to your firearm and takes minutes to install without the need for a gunsmith (Compatible with OEM Glock slides only).
Exactly that -- they would track my activity. Their ads began popping up on the different sites I would visit, and each time an ad popped up on TH-cam, it would be a Vedder Holsters ad. They aren't the only ones who use this type of unethical "remarketing" scam, but they surely did it more hardcore than any other company I've encountered...except for maybe VNSH Holster. I also see those all the time. However, they don't pop up on my FB account, email account, Google accounts, etc, like Vedder will, so I would argue Vedder is far worse about using those "remarketing" (stalking) techniques.
@@whatwouldlewdo I asked because I'm a tagging and tracking expert. The reason you're seeing those ads more is because they pay for that. This is not perniscious or stalking behavior they are just spending a lot on ads. It's not something you need to worry about at all. These companies don't get your name or personal info, just your demographic info and then algorithms serve you ads. There's an entire, robust industry, that you don't hear much about but trust me it's not something you should worry about! I do this for a living! In the absence of marketing you might get ads for tampons or something haha
I think you may be talking about the Tac Wolf 3 Pack. I checked the Pearce Grip link, and it's available, but the Tac Wolf is not. Is that the one you're wanting ? If so, I can try to find it elsewhere.

@@NewBeganningsAgain I'm currently carrying the Shield Plus. I just got my PC version back from S&W, and I also have the Sig P365 and P365 Spectre Comp that I'm trying my hand at as well. May the best man win ! 😂
@@whatwouldlewdo that’s a good line up of guns. I know with the P365 they are saying the gun just goes off if ya seen the couple vids that show it happening. One was not conditioning the gun right. Cop basically pulled the trigger without paying attention. Other with the old lady getting shot in the foot is a fake video. So don’t be afraid to carry that bad boy with 1 in the chamber. Sig dropped the damn thing over 1000 times from 75 feet up with one in the chamber and it never went off. I don’t know much about the spectare sounds cool though. And the good ole plus. The Shield with a double stack mag and a better trigger. Perfect gun for carrying. Enough rounds and compact and still who cares what they say. Slim is nice but thicker is better for the hand and the follow up shot. I was gonna go Glock43x been contemplating for about a year. But I decided going to stay with the OG shield. This gun has just been to damn reliable and it’s light compact and if I cant hit a target less than 10 feet away with 7 to 9 rounds. I be to blind and need to get my eyes checked 😂
@@NewBeganningsAgain I believe you're thinking of the P320 that was reported to "go off" by itself. I haven't heard any reports of the P365 going off. I have the 43X actually, and don't really care for it. It's just so behind the times, and the grip is atrocious. I'm definitely not a fan of Glocks no matter how much they "just run." LOL

I picked up a shield plus while S&W was doing a rebate for 3 free magazines. Ended up getting three 15 round mags for it. I wasn’t aware they worked either but was super pumped when I got them.
@@tongueofdisco4122 I tried to get in on that, but I bought mine one month early. Stupid ol' S&W should have given them to me anyway after all the hell they put me through with my Poorformance Sinner. 😏

@tongueofdisco4122 same here. I sent off for my 3 magazines for the rebate and was pleasantly surprised that I got 15 rounders. Sadly, one magazine accepts only 14 rounds no matter how much I try.

Ahoy there ! You will probably only be allowed to use 10rd magazines, correct ? I'll be glad when they finally axe that law because it is SO unconstitutional. I think that's one that's being challenged now, right (or is upcoming) ?

It totally is unconstitutional not to mention we’re paying the same if not more for the same gun with a smaller magazine.

XS big dot is super fast sight acquisition and works extremely well. Red dots are fine but need a lot of practice as you do not want to be fumbling around in a dangerous situation.
You're correct about the need to practice red dots. However, I'm not sure I would go changing the internals to my pewstolas, as that introduces more for room for error.
Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for watching.! 😊
@@whatwouldlewdo hey there! I am completely ignorant but looking to own a gun soon, so I want to ask, what internals would be changed in this scenario? I thought new iron sights or red dots were just placed on top of the slide? Unless you’re referring to the milling required to put a red dot on a gun that isn’t optics ready.
I appreciate any explanation so I know what not to do to my firearm to avoid malfunction. Thanks 🙏🏽
@@notever8401 As far as internals go, usually folks will swap out triggers or recoil springs, but that's about it. Honestly the trigger on this is great, so no need to change anything inside.
We have two versions -- this one, and the Performance Center model. The PC model has no cut for an optic, but it's ported for recoil reduction. Therefore if someone wanted an optic for the PC version, unfortunately milling would be the only option.
I hope that answers your question. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Thanks so much for watching !
I like your style. Practical and effective.
@@davane7882 Thanks for the feedback, mate, and thank SO much for watching. ❤️
Thanks for the video. I just purchased the grip plug for my shield plus. I never knew they made them. Seems odd that it didn't come with one since all sorts of crap can gather up there. Luckily I found one made specifically for the plus so won't need to adjust the size. I already had everything else except I got an armalaser TR40GS laser pointer so I had to shelf my pole craft holster b/c they don't have a form for armalaser. In fact the only holster company I found that fits armalaser is crossbreed holsters. Which is massive and I most likely would have gotten a different laser if I knew that. Anyway hope my comment helps someone out as much as your video helped me. Small details of info come in handy. Thanks again
@@billymulholland3543 There is one product I would recommend as a replacement for the Pearce Grip extension, and that's the plus 3 extension from Magguts.

I got the DPP plate with the Holosun 507k and it cowitness’ perfectly with the sights on yours. I have the exact same model. I chose to not run the TLR6. I instead EDC the Arkfeld flat light for my PID, but I’m prior military and have a ton of practice running low light drills. I recommend all go through a class to learn that philosophy. I do recommend a red dot even on a pocket rocket. It just speeds things up crazy fast. In my view it’s more likely you may be rescuing someone else verses yourself and that red dot will come in handy.
I was SO close to getting a dot, but got the wrong size, and the appropriate model is the wrong price. 😆
I now have two different OR pewstolas, so one of them will definitely end up with a dot on it sooner or later. I'm just not sure when. Those babies are steep ! Haha

The difference between printing from 10 to 13 round mag is fixable by holster alteration or change.
@@jeffreyottinger3165 For me it's not so much about how it prints, but how it looks. It looks chubby with the 13 and 15 rounders.
An open bottom holster is ACTUALLY GOING TO KEEP LESS DUST AND HAIR out of your firearm.
If the bottom is closed, it will carry all the dust, lint, hair, and dirt that falls off and around you all the time and have it meshing with your firearm.
Open bottom allows all the stuff to fall out.
You may have a point there, friend. Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for watching. ☺️
Good video, thanks. They also make a 15-round magazine for the Shield plus. I love mine.

I own an M&P 2.0 10mm with a 4.625 inch barrel no safety lever and put a Carver Custom Tungsten HEAVY Guide Rod replacing the lighter stainless steel guide rod. Had it quad ported by Mag-Na-Port.

Floyd’s aluminum base plate one round added with no spring change upgrade to hold 16 rounds over 15 rounds.

My gunsmith does the internals and Ken Kelly of Mag-Na-Port did the quad porting.
@@jeffreylocke8808 My main concern is the reliability and longevity of the aftermarket parts as opposed to the competency of the installer. A lot of these aftermarket companies making these components aren't held to the same level of scrutiny as the gun manufacturers.

I have the CYA holster. It's great. Great vid! Thanks👍
@@roberthancock2563 The holster on this video does the job, but there are definitely far better options out there. I currently rock MIE Productions holsters.
having carried a shield for 10 years (since it came out) heres some of my input.
holster is totally up to the individual. i personally went back to an OWB pancake with my shield.
i honestly wouldnt bother with the pearce grip extension.. i had it, and at the end of the day, i wanted more rounds than just comfort, so i bought more extended mags from smith. i can still stuff the gun in my pants pocket. my old mag with the pearce is somewhere in my range bag lol.
the channel in the grip is for a couple of things.. both of which gaston glock has spoken on in past lectures when he was alive. the "void" as he called it was for sand and water to drain out of if being serviced in the field by the military. also a lanyard could be fixed into that area as well. i think later on they found they could strip mags with it. nothing is really gonna "get up in there" if you check and clean your gun periodically you'll be fine.
As for that streamlight light.. save your money. 100 lumens is NOT enough to be effective in stopping an assailant coming at you. its just not.. my pocket carry light that uses one battery has almost 700 lumens. you're weapon mounted light isnt supposed to be used to scan a scene and look for anything.. its to light up a target, blinding the target and giving you an advantage.. you should NEVER use a weapon mounted light to survey an area. because if you come across an innocent person or a family member you're now pointing a loaded gun at them with a light on it, if its a stranger and depending on what state you're in, it could be classified as brandishing or even assault. always carry a separate flashlight if you're carrying a small shield. dont buy a 100 lumen night light and put it on the gun.
while lately i've been wanting a gun with an optic, i held a shield recently with one and.. other than looks and ooh ahhh factor, theres (in my opinion only) no reason to have a red dot on a gun this small. ive been shooting long enough to know that i can hit anything i aim at within 7-14 yards lol. and thats where i see the shield coming into play as a close up SD weapon.
im considering sending my 5 inch m&p 2.0 to Floyds custom and have them mill it for a red dot :)
good video, i disagree about the light
I hear Floyd's does good work when it comes to customizing firearms, so you shouldn't be disappointed. However I've not used them for myself, so I'm not making a recommendation.

I went directly to the manufacturer website to order, but it's irritating and I plan to call amazon about that on Monday (if I can figure how to contact a live person about a "non-order" issue).
@@LarryGanz Whaa--!? Things are getting crazy, mate. Personally I've been waiting I don't know how long on a stinking tax stamp from the GAY-TF for a suppressor we're supposed to review. The approval items were flying like hot cakes a few months ago, but now that the election is around the corner, they seem to be trying to keep us from exercising our rights. Perhaps they know something we don't. 🤔
I've used Mag guts on my P365 and P365XL for over a year now quite successfully & they finally became available for the Shield Plus 10 round mags only. The extension looks the same as the ones in your video but adds 3 rounds. And it doesn't add any length to the back side of the mag. I have talked with other IDPA competitors and we all agree that the only good thing about night sights is that you can see where the gun is on your night stand. They serve no other purpose as you cannot see their luminosity when any surrounding light comes on. So for me who shoots in day, dusk, & at night, fiber optic sights and good 3 dot white sights work the best (as what all comes with the Shield Plus), with night sights being the next best, & the worst sights are thin & poorly painted white 3 dot sights (like on the suppressor height sights on the CZ P10C). I also took the light off of the Shield Plus as it conceals better & is easier to handle as there is more room in the trigger guard without it. It being physically smaller is also a plus when carrying.
I've heard of Magguts, but I'm not sure the added mass to the grip is worth the two extra rounds. The one you mentioned for the P365XL, for instance: It looks about as long as the 17rd mag, which is not ideal for carry. I think the 12rd OEM mag is the sweet spot. Plus I haven't seen an offering from Magguts where I thought it looked better than any other company, but as they say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Saw someone on YT with a pic adapter rail that clips into the trigger guard, it exists! 👍
For THIS Shield !? Funny enough, a few nights ago while I was messing with my P365 that has a rail on it, I actually wondered if they had one for the Shield Plus.
The mag gap is for tolerance and play so u can get mags in without it falling out if it’s too tight there would be issues inserting a mag
@@cornbread6158 Are you referring to the hole near the back ? I don't recall saying anything else about a gap in the mag.

i also have the shield plus 9 how do you mount an optic mine does not have the adapter up top at all do you have to change the slide out?
Hi, Andrew. There are two options for the standard Shield Plus: one with an optic cut, and one without. It sounds like you purchased the one without. Unfortunately your only options would be to either buy the optics ready slide, or to get your current slide milled (cut) for an optic. Most places are pretty expensive, and cost almost as much as a new slide. However there is one company that does really good work that's also affordable. Check them out. I know they could get you squared away. Let us know how it goes if you decide to use them. ☺️ bit.ly/49aA10h
Maybe it is Pinky Grip M&P Plus?
The hole is in the bottom of the grip because of the mold process.
I don't believe this is correct, because there are lots of models that are made without the hole, even some of their own models.
Since making this video I have learned that on modern firearms the hole is USUALLY there to allow for mag well or back straps to be installed. While S&W went on to do this on many of their newer models, I have yet to see any such support (OEM or aftermarket) for the Shield Plus.
Perhaps it was a plan that they never fully flushed out in R&D. 🤷🏻♂️ Anyway, thank you for your feedback, and thanks for watching ! 😊
Holosun 507K X2. Dremel the rear 2 posts down flush, file the front two posts down a millimeter or so, seal it all back up with Birchwood Casey Perma Blue, and replace the optic screws with JagerWerks (the Holosun screws are less than optimal). It fits perfectly.
I run an optic because of my eyes. I wear progressive lenses, and if they shift, or fall off, I can't see the stock sights to acquire a sight picture. The circle dot reticle also plays well with my stigmatism.
Extended thumb safety. A lot of us hate the thumb safety and don't use it (noticed Lew's was off during the video). There's a guy on the pistol-forum that has started making an extended thumb safety. I've just reached out to get one to try.
The grip texture is abusive against my skin (I carry IWB at 3:30). Light sandpaper on the grip and a finishing file on the mag release took care of it.
Not sure I want to take a Dremel to my pewstola, but I am aware that it is an option.
I'm not sure why you would want an extended thumb safety if you don't like to use it. Did I miss something there ? LOL
The grip doesn't bother me because I wear a compression shirt (AKA workout shirt) underneath and it doesn't bother me at all. Conversely I have worn it without the shirt underneath on days when it wasn't hot (to avoid sweating on the gun) and I didn't notice it at all. Perhaps it's a tender skin issue for some folks. I'm not sure. 🤷🏻♂️

DXT2 PRO Series Big Dot Night Sights - perfect
This variant is equipped with night sights. Thanks for watching ! 😊
The grip plug you showed and linked to is the M&P Shield grip plug. Pearce makes one for the Shield Plus, which is what I bought for mine.
@@seanpellegrino2989 There was no other option for the grip plug when I posted this video, which is why I used the M&P 9 plug and just slightly modified the fitment.
Couple things... I've nothing but great performance with Vedder Holsters. I prefer the metal belt Clio they use vs the manufacturers that use plastic. Plus the metal clip doesn't protrude as much, so it doesn't print as much as the plastic style.
The grip plug is purely asthetic. The hole does not extend in to the mechanics of the gun.
I like the pinky extension for the 10 rd mag. May have to get one. The light is cool too! I didn't know those existed as an option since there's no rail on the Shield. Do you notice the light hindering you trigger finger?
Yes, the grip plug is purely aesthetic, but I'm pretty big on that, so a huge, gaping hole staring at me just wasn't going to work. LOL
"At Vedder holsters, we pride ourselves on stalking people on the internet...and we hold true to that." I FINALLY stopped seeing their ads ! 😂
There's another grip extension that one of our viewers suggested by "Magguts" that add two more rounds, I think. I didn't care much for the looks of it, but it's an option you may want to look into.
No problems with my fingers and this light, and I suppose you could say that I have average size hands. Streamlight usually makes quality lights at a decent price. All the links should be in the video description.
Thanks so much for watching. ☺️
Does streamlight make a 500 lumen or brighter that will work on the mp plus? If so does it pretrude a lot? thank you
@@whatwouldlewdo^^
@@clutchshot247 No, sir. They only made the one version, which is the TLR-6 you see in this video. The Shield not having a rail really limited its options.
Thanks for watching. ☺️
Hey, what mag is that? I got a ten, 13, and fifteeen, but I haven’t seen curved grip mag like that
Well, I mentioned that in the video. LOL The link to the "mag" is also in the description box. It's by a company called "Pearce Grips." Hope that helps.
The Nightstick TSM-15G is also another good laser/light choice for the Shield Plus. It’s 50 lumens brighter and even charges with USB.
@@FranciumBoron I don't believe I'm familiar with that brand, but thanks for the recommendation, and thanks so much for watching ! ☺️
@@whatwouldlewdo No problem! Alien Gear has also partnered with Nightstick to make a holster for that combination of _pewstola_ and laser/light. I think they even give out a coupon for a discount on the TSM-15G when you get the holster.
@@FranciumBoron I am familiar with Alien Gear, but have never used their products. They never seem to have an option for my particular set ups. Haha.
@@whatwouldlewdo Ah, I can imagine what a pain that feels like. I’ve been researching and looking for holsters for when I turn 21 next year. Something from Safariland with ALS or GLS would have been nice, but they don’t have much for a Shield Plus. And the GLS working the way it does makes it incompatible with a laser/light setup.
@@FranciumBoron This is a decent holster for cheap, but there are far better options available. One brand I've come to like a lot is MIE Productions. Lots of customization.
Agree at least about the Pearce grip extension. Makes a material difference and it's reasonably priced (on sale).
Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for watching ! 😊
Does the gun fit in the Holster with the light attached?
@@justinyonker4666 Yes, it does. People have told me that I didn't put it into the holster, but I could have sworn that I did. I think people are just skipping through and are missing it. 😆
Can the gun fit in the holster you have with the light attachment
@@RodshidaDavis Yes, the holster I mentioned on here is a light bearing holster for the TLR-6. There are better holsters available, but this one is affordable and a decent starting point.
@@whatwouldlewdo thank you for replying trying to find a left handed one
@@RodshidaDavis Oh, I guess we got off on the wrong hand then. 😛 Let me see what I can find, and I'll report back.
@@whatwouldlewdo thanks
I didn't find much, but the recent company I've been using is MIE Productions. It's a bit more than Amazon type holsters, but the quality wouldn't disappoint. I'll leave a link for you to consider. They may also still have our promo code to save a bit of moolah. Try WWLD10 at checkout. I'll keep looking, but that's probably going to be the best quality at an affordable price. www.mieproductions.com/sw-shield9-4-javelin

"Scamazon" is crazy 😂😂😂
@@AyoHeadhead Hey, we use them plenty, but sometimes we'll get hold of items that aren't quite in the condition or caliber they claimed to be in. Hence the nickname. 😆
What sights do you have? I want a green/red combo
My OR Shield Plus has the tritium night sights, but my PC model has the red and green (Christmas lights, as I call them). That might be the model you want to go with.
I have the Holo Sun model HS 507 K X2 on my Shield plus. I like the 407 K green dot better that I have on my 365. Anyway I have old eyes , so the dot works better for me. I didn't use an adapter plate. I wanted to co witness my sights that come with the gun. I wanted the sight to sit low, so I ground off the little tips sticking up that were in the way of the Holosun. I have the ten round extended finger rest and the plug. I chose to carry a light at night so I can holster my gun in my regular no light holsters for the shield. I choose no light for concealed carry, because I think if I had to use at night ,it would be in a store or lighted parking lot possibly ? Anyway at home I have a light on my larger home defense gun, because more than likely things happen at night , when your asleep ?
I also have the 507K. It's a nice red dot, but the window is a bit tiny when compared to cheaper models.
I have lights on all my handguns, but I also carry a small flash light too. I find the lights not only serve as light (obviously), but it gives me more to grip onto and hold the front down when shooting.
Thanks for your feedback, and thanks so much for watching ! I hope you decide to stick around with us. Got plenty more content coming up. 😁
How does your mag go in so easy mines extremely hard to push in
@@Smokinstrainstation88 That's odd. Haven't heard of that problem yet, but with my short time with S&W, nothing surprises me anymore.
@@whatwouldlewdo what problems have you had should I just get rid of the the slide lock is also extremely hard to push down as well almost impossible do with one hand at times
@@Smokinstrainstation88 Get rid of the slide lock ? It's pretty much essential to the gun functioning properly. 😛
As for the issues I've had, I had trigger issues, I had finish issues, I had trouble loading the final round into both the 10 and 13, and a nightmare of a time getting the pistol back from S&W in working condition. Check out our two full videos on the Shield Plus (Shield Plus Poorformance Sinner & Shield Plus Performance Center Won't Perform) for more info. Hope that helps.
Thanks so much for watching.
@@whatwouldlewdo lol I meant to say get rid of the gun 🤣 an okay was kind of banking in this to be a decent gun il never even get my money back out of it
I just watched the user error an tried that as well slide release still doesn’t release lol
Can I install a laser device on it? In performance center
That really depends on the model of the light/laser you're attempting to put on it, but they do have a few options available for this particular model. I believe one of them is from Crimson Trace, and I'm fairly confident that Streamlight has a light/laser combo.
I’m in CA and my question is should I get shield plus or p365?
Sorry to hear that, mate. First, what is the main feature you're looking to have ?-- Capacity, concealability, shootability, size, price ?
@@whatwouldlewdo Size and being able to conceal the 🔥 arm.

I havent seen them on this gun but the hole in the bottom by the mag ive seen weights in some guns
People put weights in them ? I'm not sure I understood.
@@whatwouldlewdo yea i dont know i know on some guns ive seen like same cut weights put in them i have no idea what it would do to performance
@@nubekillerjake9400 Perhaps the idea is that the weight will control recoil, but it really only matters if the weight is at the front. Therefore I'm not sure what purpose it would serve.
Thanks for chiming in, and thanks so much for watching. 😊
@@whatwouldlewdo yea thats what im thinking i would want it all to the front so i really dont know why anyone would
Both brand grip extensions leave a gap in between?
The usual gap you get with the mag bases in general, yes, but it's no more than factory base plates. The one toward the back where the frame drops down also seems to be the same as the one you'd see with the S&W base pad.
Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for watching. ☺️

Did you try the Crimson Trace optic for $107
I found one at PSA for $70, but it's meh. I guess at that price though, it should be expected. LOL
I put a red dot on my boy , and its like cheating haha . I have the holosun 407c red dot . I highly recommend it . Once you use a red dot , you wont go back to irons haha .
I now have a Holosun 507K that I'm kicking around, but I still practice with my irons, even through the dot. I want to know how to use those fast and effectively as well if the dot shouldn't work when I need it to.
Check out the Swampfox Sentinel 2 dot sight. RMSC foot print, needs no adapter plate.
How much do they usually go for ?
The pearce grip pinky extensions suck get the factory ones from smith, they are more proportional and match the grip texture. Switch out sighs and put on a pair night fision sights, they are brand they put on their newer guns.
If that's the way you want to go, you're more than welcome to ! Thanks for your feedback and thanks for watching !
I just put a Hogue grip on my shiels , makes a big difference.
How come ? The Shield Plus grip is one of my personal favorites. You no likey ?
I put a gray one on...I love those colors together.
Took about 10 minutes to stretch it on there.
I got it because the grip is just a little to slim for my long fingers...that little bit of thickness makes a world of difference to me.
Plus it smooths out the sandpaper grip against your skin when concealing.
Be safe all.

Until more recent years, getting a red dot was more strictly optional. After being 40-something plus and needing the services of the optometrist and ophthalmologist, I have become more interested in an optic. You may get there soon.

@@whatwouldlewdo No, I was just referring to the Pearce extensions
A bit of friendly advice, you should get a holster that completely covers the trigger. I couldn’t really tell if that one does because you never put the gun in it it but it doesn’t look like it does. Especially for appendix carry.
Yes, it covers the trigger completely. None of my holsters leave the trigger exposed. I know better than that. LOL
Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for watching. 😊
No problem, good video. 👍
I notice a lot of the reasons you give for these upgrades is dirt and debris getting into places. I highly recommend everyone get a corded electronic air blower. I got mine on amazon for $30. Everyday when i get home i blow off my gun, mag, flashlight, knife and holster. My equipment stays clean and i work in very dirty environment daily.
I think I only mentioned the grip plug being used to keep out debris (as well as aesthetically pleasing.) Haha.
I keep my carry gun (all my guns actually) as clean as can be, but the carry guns are always gonna require more lovinz.

The hole in the back of the grip is a drain hole. When Gaston Glock heard that people were putting plugs in the grip of his pistols, He said, "Leave it to Americans to put a plug in a drain hole."

What do you mean follow you around on the internet?
Exactly that -- they would track my activity. Their ads began popping up on the different sites I would visit, and each time an ad popped up on TH-cam, it would be a Vedder Holsters ad. They aren't the only ones who use this type of unethical "remarketing" scam, but they surely did it more hardcore than any other company I've encountered...except for maybe VNSH Holster. I also see those all the time. However, they don't pop up on my FB account, email account, Google accounts, etc, like Vedder will, so I would argue Vedder is far worse about using those "remarketing" (stalking) techniques.
@@whatwouldlewdo I asked because I'm a tagging and tracking expert. The reason you're seeing those ads more is because they pay for that. This is not perniscious or stalking behavior they are just spending a lot on ads. It's not something you need to worry about at all. These companies don't get your name or personal info, just your demographic info and then algorithms serve you ads.
