Vigilance Elite - Glock 43 VS Smith and Wesson M&P Shield

what's up guys I'm John Ryan from the junk elite so we were getting a lot of enquiries on why I like the Glock 43 so much and we've got some other inquiries asking about the Smith & Wesson shield so me and maybe some Palm Beach tactical switched guns for about a month and shot the shit out of them and so we're here to do a review on 5:43 and Smith and Watson's Smith & Wesson shield not that shield bro alright so after carrying this thing for a month the shield this shield not your fucking trashcan shield I actually like this thing I'm comfortable with it I hit with it it does seem a little less snappy the controls do stick out a little bit or the mag release sticks out a little bit more only thing that I do not like about this is well two things one it's not a glock so but the only thing I don't like it I'm not saying as bad as the trigger reset but that's just because you know maybe I just need to get used to it and then you know everybody knows I like Glock the reason I like Glock is because I carried it overseas you know for work for about nine years and I still carry it everyday so you know I just I trust it you know I mean so you know if it's not broke don't fix it however I do like this I'm just you know I'm more comfortable with that obviously I was gripping it a little high because I wasn't getting slide locks well my my mags but I do like this thing in I think I am a little more probably I'm still gonna carry my Glock but you know I'll write buy one of these and I don't keep at it and see what do you think I think the shield is uh the greatest of comeback ever yeah yeah definitely very accurate easy to shoot easy to reload easy to manipulate I shot the 43 and it's also a very good gun the controls are a little bit smaller then I would like them to be also the grip length we have these Tarin extensions here but the grip length is also a little bit shorter so I prefer that of shield yeah well I mean I just liked 43 because like I said one I trust Glock you know I've been trusting for years but the reset on these things just for me it's just a lot crisper this seems to have a little bit more play in it right and I'm kind of trying to guess where that reset is um well let me get my shield back there yeah well there it is if it's shit out of here no I'm just kidding ah very good gun so yeah I use but I mean I have to use these magnetic centers on both 43 and the shield so I can get a full grip if you can't grip the gun then I mean you're not gonna make an accurate shot that's for damn sure this is what Plus this is nine plus one and I think this is ten plus one so you get an extra round out of that but I mean all in all both very good guns I like pretty much everything about that shield I just not a big fan of the reset and the trigger and you know I'm not a big fan of aftermarket triggers right you know that's just my take on it so we wanted to talk about the shield and the 43 out of the box so the shield comes with two magazines one is a seven round flat base pad version and then you get extended eight round model so the extended eight round allows you for a full handed grip the forty-three comes with two mags they're both six round mags one is a flat base pad and one has a pinky extension mentioning is that the shield comes with iron sights whereas the 43 has plastic sights this one obviously has the upgrade but we're talking about out of the box gun yeah again I'm just gonna stick with my Glock just cuz that's what I shoot best and that's what I trust but you know six got that new 65 or something so when we get our hands on one of those it's a double stack I think it's about supposed to be the same size as these that could be a game changer no shit so we will see about that we will see alright you did mess though which one did you miss way the 43 yeah well yeah keep training so we wanted to talk about some of the shield variants there is a thumb safety model available for those who wish to carry a safety on there and we have a Performance Center model that has a ported barrel outside from the factory as well as fiber optic sights so that's even softer shooting than the standard shield 43 is come in four different colors dark earth OD grey and black there is also a tan shield model so you hate Glock so much do you carry this in this shop well I don't I don't he sucks okay I love my okay I just love but I also very much and we carry both of these pistols in all of their variants had Tommy second you got anything to say
