Perfect fit. Looks amazing. Really like the added barrel length. Helps out accuracy. Need to get a compensator for it now.

I’ve ran several Trybe Defense threaded barrels and never had any issues from them and this 1 has been just as good the 1 main thing people need to know is if you run any aftermarket barrel YOU CAN NOT RUN RELOADED AMMO because it is a tighter tolerance which equals better accuracy and on threaded barrels use a drop of Blue locktite on the threads and let dry completely before putting the protector on and you won’t be constantly checking to see if it’s loose this barrel has an O ring but I like the extra security highly recommend this product as well as all Trybe Defense products
Pros:
- Better accuracy and distance
Best Used for:
- S&W M&P Shield or Shield Plus
Would recommend: Yes

This was my the most recent upgrade to my Shield Plus and after a day at the range, I couldn't be happier. The fit and finish were perfect. I took a little pre-emptive action and polished the feed ramp before taking it out. I had zero problems with. It performed better than I had expected. Love the deal that I got on it through Optics Planet and the shipping was fast.

The CA compliant slide has a loaded chamber indicator (LCI) which also changes how the barrel and slide lock-up. These standard barrels have a rounded lockup and the LCI slides have an angular, box-shaped face. they are not compatible.
Otherwise these barrels look great, I like the low-profile thread protector.

Put this in a M&P Shield 9mm and it was a simple upgrade that gave me better groupings. It's longer than the stock barrel and you do need to take the thread cap off to install. O-ring works well to hold the thread cap on and keep it from coming undone. The biggest downside is that you may need to get a new holster because of the longer barrel.
Pros:
- Easy upgrade and better grouping.
Cons:
- May need to get a new holster due to the longer barrel.
Would recommend: Yes

I saw an unwarranted 1 star review on this! I built my gun and found that review after the fact, and though "oh great," i bought a low quality barrel... Well, that reviewer couldn't be more absolutely wrong!! I have noticed no wear on the finish of this barrel. I put well over 1000 rnds through it without cleaning it and had only 1 stove pipe. When i did go to clean it, I was amazed at how well it cleaned, i expected to find tons of wear on the finish after having read that lieing review! When i cleaned it, it cleaned up so nice it looked like it hadn't even been used at all!
Long story short, this barrel has been worth every penny i spent on it! It's extremely high quality, and i highly recommend it!

Good looking barrel, threaded nicely and thread protector is nicely finished. Drop-in with no lateral movement, tighter tolerances than factory barrel. The only caveat and it’s a big one — the forward chamber edges were too sharp causing the barrel to bind and lock up the slide. After careful inspection and comparison to factory barrel, I decided to carefully file down the sharp edges and now the pistol functions 100%. Also of note, Shield pistols weren’t specifically designed to run suppressed as they are a subcompact, slim conceal carry pistol and for that they are ideal.
Pros:
- Good lookin
- Rootin tootin

Thread protector worked its way off the barrel while shooting. Finish is also not great and wore through in the first range trip. Even after tightening the thread protector down, it came loose after one shot.
Would recommend: No

Looks nice and can handle a range day even through the gold coating does wear and tear after use. It doesn’t screw on the on Trybe threaded barrel despite both products having the same twist rate.Only screws halfway on despite all attempts to force it on barrel.
Would recommend: No
