I saw this at my local Scheels as someone was purchasing it. I would have picked it up then if that guy didnt want it. The OR Shield Plus is $50 more than the standard Shield Plus and I think the extra money is worth it. Even if you don't care about it being optics ready, the included night sights alone are cheaper than buying your own night sight and installing it yourself.

My first pistol was a Smith & Wesson revolver in the 80’s. Firing and carrying many compact pistols over the years including Glock, Springfield, Walther and my old reliable Sturm Rugers. I fly fish, hunt and trap in the backcountry of the Appalachian Mountains and spend allot of time alone we’ll into to the night. The S&W M&P Shield is the most confident that I’ve been in a handgun to manage the backcountry. If I had to choose one pistol, Smith & Wesson did it again. The finish on their handguns has always been a benchmark of craftsmanship and it still is. Sometime look up the history of the M&P handguns. Blessings

I've been carrying a shield for a smaller carry option for awhile. Then the plus came out and I didn't offer much more than a couple more rounds. So I kept the original shield. Now smith and wesson has to go and throw this in my face... this is why I never have a savings account...

I watched this video and about 8 others. In all of the video reviews on KZitem they show the same thing. A good trigger with a clean crisp break, and a tactile and audible reset. So I ordered one and had it sent to my local gun store. Well mine had a trigger that wasn't bad as far as travel, grit, mushiness, and so forth, and it even had an overall clean crisp break on the trigger. But the reset on mine was completely dead. The pistol did reset, but you could not feel the reset or hear it at all. Totally unacceptable in my opinion. I called Smith & Wesson and they didn't even question it, they just sent me a shipping label and instructions on how to ship it back to them. This tells me that they probably had heard this complaint before. Now only time will tell if they can make it right.

Shields are the best option imho. I’ve owned every version offered. Narrowed it down to the OR Plus, & 2.0 with integrated laser. Easily fits in front pocket,IWB etc. a tad larger than the 365, Hellcat but I also have larger hands. If your deciding on any, I’d say go Plus. Gunbroker had the OR w/bugout bag, 3 extra mags for $489 shipped. Pretty good deal. Is your Shield red dot the polymer/polymer or metal/glass model? Also what red dot size 4or 8 moa. I’ve played with a few red dots and really really like that one the best. It comes shipped on one of the Hellcat models

Same FUD about the Shield Plus 13-round magazine in every review of the Shield Plus this guy can find on KZitem. No substantiation, no links to evidence, just rumor. I have two S&W brand 13-round mags for the Shield Plus. The first worked perfectly from day one. The second had a hitch in the spring and needed extra effort to insert that 13th round, but functioned perfectly. It loosened up with use. Some users have reported similarly stiff springs in the 13-round mags, and reported the magazines became easier to load with repeated use, especially after fully loading the mag and letting it set a few days. But I'm not seeing owners report that these magazines cause the pistol to jam. If you're worried about yours, just load 12 rounds.
