M&P Shield Car Mount: Shield, Shield Plus, EZ and EZ 380
M&P Shield car mount guide: magnetic mounts for the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield, Shield Plus, Shield EZ and EZ 380. Match your model and set it up right.
The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield has been one of the most common carry pistols for years, and it shows up in plenty of trucks and cars. Over time the Shield has grown into a family: the original M&P 9/40 Shield, the Shield Plus, the Shield EZ and the Shield EZ 380. Each one needs its own mount.
This guide helps you match a Shield car mount to the Shield you carry, choose between the standard and optic-ready versions, and place and install the mount.
Key takeaways
- At The Ready makes separate magnetic mounts for the M&P 9/40 Shield, Shield Plus, Shield EZ and Shield EZ 380.
- Check the exact model marked on your pistol; newer Shield versions may need a different mount, so call if unsure.
- Each Shield mount is $95, or $105 for the optic-ready version.
- Screws, VHB tape and primer come in the box, with a lifetime warranty.
Four Shields, Four Mounts
Smith & Wesson lists its current pistols on its handguns page. At The Ready designs each mount from the actual slide of one pistol, so each Shield has its own:
| Your pistol | At The Ready mount | Standard | Optic-ready |
|---|---|---|---|
| M&P 9/40 Shield | M&P 9/40 Shield mount | $95 | $105 |
| M&P Shield Plus | Shield Plus mount | $95 | $105 |
| M&P Shield EZ | Shield EZ mount | $95 | $105 |
| M&P Shield EZ 380 | Shield EZ 380 mount | $95 | $105 |
Smith & Wesson keeps adding Shield versions. If yours is not one of these four, or you are unsure which one you have, call At The Ready at (469) 833-6651 before you order. All Smith & Wesson mounts are in one place, including the full-size M&P models.
Why the Exact Model Matters
A Shield car mount is shaped from one pistol’s slide, which is what lets rare-earth magnets hold that Shield firmly in the same position on every drive. That precision is also why a mount for one Shield version is not the mount for another. If your pistol carries a light or another accessory, contact At The Ready to check clearance before ordering.
Standard or Optic-Ready
If your Shield wears a red dot, or you plan to add one, choose “Optic: Yes” for the optic-ready version ($10 more). Not sure? The optic-ready gun mount guide walks through it.
Placement in a Truck or Car
Most owners mount a Shield on the side of the center console or a lower dash panel. Test the spot with your empty pistol from your normal seat, keep clear of airbags and pedals, and add the angled mount adapter ($14.99) if your knee crowds the grip. See the under-dash gun mount guide for more.
Install It Your Way
Use the included screws, or the VHB tape with the included primer for a no-drill install (here is the no drill gun mount guide). The installation page has a two-minute video. Colors and custom text are included, and black is the standard base color.
Safety and the Law
Practice with an unloaded pistol, take your Shield with you or lock it up when you leave the vehicle, and check the carry laws wherever you drive.
