Review: 3 months with the S&W Shield Plus as my EDC

Rangium Community TeamStarter contentMay 13, 2026

Switching from a bigger gun to the Shield Plus for daily carry and I wanted to give an honest 90-day review. The trigger is genuinely the best in the micro-compact class to me, it's stupidly easy to conceal, and the 13-round mag closes the capacity gap with the 365. Downsides: the flush mag pinches my pinky and the stock sights are just okay. For the money it's been flawless through about 800 rounds and it's earned its carry slot.

The extended mag fixes the pinky pinch and only adds a round, worth it.
Swap the sights for a set of night sights or a dot cut and it's a near perfect EDC.
Agree the trigger is the standout. Felt more like a duty gun trigger than a micro.
800 clean rounds is a good endorsement. Mine's been the same, zero complaints.
I went 365 over the Shield for the optics option, but the Shield trigger is better stock, no argument.
