Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P9 2.0 Shield EZ 9mm Pistol - No Thumb Safety - Silver

Spring boarding off their success with the Shield EZ line of pistols, S &W introduces the Performance Center models which share a lot of the features of the Shield EZ line. Actually the Performance Center models have just raised the bar a bit in both stylized grips and triggers, and a bevy (yes we said bevy) of other features not normally seen in your everyday variety 9mm.Let’s start with the safety features. Don’t go looking for a thumb or finger activated safety you won’t find one. But that doesn’t mean it’s not there. Two trains of thought here. Okay, you’ve got a traditional safety on your pistol what do you do? Easy question (no there won’t be a test later), right? You grip the pistol, you fumble around for the safety and you thumb it off - Easy peazy.Great, so let’s do the same thing with the Performance Center M&P9 EZ 9mm. You curl your hand around the trigger.Stop right there.Using the enhanced silver anodized aluminum grip safety, you’ve already “thumbed” the safety into the off position with the palm of the hand gripping the pistol. Hold the pistol in your grip - safety off – place the pistol down - safety on. This pistol’s one smart cookie isn’t it?

This 9mm from S&W is no slouch for sure. Smith & Wesson has even turned an engineering eye on the magazines by manufacturing the two (2) included magazines with easy “load assist” tabs for quick and easy loading. And the hits just keep on coming. The flat-faced trigger, skeletonized for improved weight and the grip induced safety are both silver anodized, which gives this firearm and stylish air of sophistication.Complete with a shortened Picatinny-style rail beneath the barrel, the Smith & Wesson PC M&P9 can handle most accessories traditionally manufactured for the AR-15. And if that’s not enough features for you we’ll leave you with this one.How do you know if there’s one in the chamber? Of course, you slide back and visually inspect. We’re not telling you to lose that habit, because not all of your firearms are going to have this feature. The Performance Center® M&P®9 Shield™ EZ® comes with a patented feature known as TLCI. No, is doesn’t stand for Tender Love Care Instantly. It stands for Tactile Loaded Chamber Indicator.TLCI on this firearm from S&W allows you to see and feel if there is a round in the chamber. It’s just a little more awesomesauce from a legendary firearm manufacturing company who’s been around the block more than a couple of times.
