Smith & Wesson M&P Shield .45 ACP Sub Compact 7-Round Handgun - Night Sights - 3.3" Barrel - Black

The Smith & Wesson Shield took the concealed carry market by storm in its original form. Five years later, S&W took the real-world feedback generated by over one million Shield sales and produced the Shield 2.0. Shield 2.0 offers professional grade build quality and all the features of the larger M&P 2.0 series pistols, but in a slim, single stack format the size of your hand. The Shield 2.0 shoots like a bigger gun than it is, yet conceals effortlessly and weighs just 20.5 ounces unloaded.This subcompact pistol comes with one flat floorplate magazine holding six rounds of mighty .45acp, and one magazine with an extended floorplate for additional grip length and one more round of ammo, giving you 7+1 rounds of .45acp in a package just 6.5” long. This version deletes the thumb safety, relying on the passive firing pin drop safety and articulated trigger safety for protection from accidental discharge.The S&W Shield 2.0’s stainless steel barrel and slide are finished in Armornite for excellent corrosion protection. Front slide serrations make the 2.0 visually distinct from previous Shields. The striker fired trigger design provides the same consistent trigger pull for every shot fired. The 2.0’s trigger features a smoother pull, a crisper break, and a more tactile and audible reset when compared to the original Shield. The 2.0 also has a rougher grip texturing that feels a bit like medium grit sandpaper. Not harsh enough to tear up hands, but effective to keep the Shield from twisting around when fired. The slide is topped with drift adjustable, stainless steel three-dot sights with glow-in-the-dark Tritium inserts for quick acquisition in low light conditions.
