I had an opportunity to get my hands on the new M&P 45 Shield and so far I have to admit, S&W did a nice job with it. It resembles many of the qualities of the original Shield however a few changes were made that sets it apart. The texturing of the grip is much more aggressive and they added low cut front serrations to the slide. Other than those initial changes, this handgun is all M&P Shield.
