The result is a highly personalized pistol that feels completely natural in the hand.

Upgrade Options for Enhanced Performance on Your Alaska Hunt

Lasers – While not the first accessory that comes to mind for a concealed-carry firearm, lasers are crucial for maintaining accuracy in stressful situations. They are also beneficial for practicing target acquisition. The Shield’s line of compatible lasers includes products from LaserLyte®, Crimson Trace®, and more, fitting seamlessly into the pistol’s profile without sacrificing its slim size.

Sights – Effective sights must be easy to see and provide an excellent sight picture. Compatible sights for the Shield feature products from TruGlo®, Dead Ringer, and others. These sights ensure quick front-sight acquisition in all lighting conditions, including low-light scenarios, making them ideal for concealed carry.

Holsters – Selecting a holster that is both comfortable and easy to conceal is essential. Options include IWB, ankle, shoulder, and other styles from companies such as BLACKHAWK!®, Pistol Wear™, Galco, and more.

Spare Magazines – No pistol is complete without extra magazines, and the M&P Shield is no exception. Compatible magazines are available in your choice of 9mm or .40 S&W, with options for standard capacity and plus-one extended magazines.

These upgrades enhance the Shield’s effectiveness without compromising its compact stature. While this list is not exhaustive, it demonstrates the extent to which the M&P Shield can be tailored to meet individual preferences. Regardless of the upgrades chosen, the M&P Shield will become a one-of-a-kind concealed-carry firearm, perfectly suited for any Alaska hunt.
