PEARCE GRIP - Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm/.40 Extension

Just what I needed to extend the grip for my hand. Still very concealable.

I bought a SHIELD 2.0 in 9mm as a potential replacement for the 5-shot J-frame that I carry as my back-up gun. As a back-up gun, it will be holstered in my front pants pocket. I want to be able to use the 7-shot magazine, but there's no place for my pinky finger. As such, I cannot do good work with the pistol unless I use the 8-shot magazine. This Pearce grip adapter replaces the factory floor plate in about 5 seconds. It doesn't make the grip any longer, but it creates a horizontal hook/pinky hanger that give my XL-size hand a full 3-finger grip. With this in place, I can do good work. I like this part so much that I've ordered one for each carry mag and each practice mag. Try it; you'll like it!

These enable a proper, full grip for most people on the standard magazine without excessive length to compromise the ability conceal the weapon or the sliding spacer issue that the factory +1 magazines have in their standard configuration. Installation is as simple as changing the floor plate during a normal magazine cleaning. As others have said, I don't know why these aren't the standard factory floor plate. Until they are, I'll add them to every one of my standard Shield mags.

S&W should have put these on as standard equipment. Adds just enough extra length to allow a full five finger grip for me. I prefer the feel to that of the 8 round extended grip and the mag doesn't drag on my palm to impede a free drop during a mag change the way the S&W extended mag does. Installation is as easy as it gets.

Very easy to install. I did three in less than 10 min.
