Smith & Wesson’s M&P pistols are the handguns of choice for many law-enforcement units, and for good reason. Rugged reliability and accuracy combined with solid construction to make the M&P line stand out in a highly competitive field. Now Smith & Wesson offers the lightest, slimmest and most compact semiautomatic in the M&P family – the Shield. Around 1" thick, 6" long and 20 oz., the Shield is perfect for concealed carry or a law-enforcement backup gun. Striker fired with a low bore axis and an 18° grip angle, the Shield delivers a natural sight picture and points instinctively. The consistent trigger pull and short trigger reset enhance accuracy and make for fast follow-up shots. Maintenance is easy with the patented M&P No Tool Takedown System. Steel recoil-spring rod adds durability and the captured spring speeds the takedown and cleaning process. The Shield comes with two magazines.
