Compact .380 Auto with factory ported barrel, Hi-Viz Tritium sights, and Performance Center trigger. 3.8" barrel, 8-round capacity, 18.5 oz. Ideal for concealed carry and personal protection.
The M&P Shield represents a fundamental principle: serious defensive capability in a package small enough to carry reliably every day. Smith & Wesson's Performance Center has refined this concept into a purpose-built tool for those who understand that personal protection demands both capability and commitment.
This is a slim, lightweight pistol engineered around human factors. At 18.5 ounces and 6.9 inches overall length, it disappears into waistband or bag without printing. The polymer frame is durable and low-maintenance, while the stainless steel slide wears a protective Armornite finish that resists corrosion.
Smith & Wesson's Performance Center has added features that matter:
Hi-Viz Litewave H3 Tritium/Litepipe sights work in daylight and darkness. The tactile loaded chamber indicator lets you confirm a round is chambered by touch. A Picatinny-style rail accepts lights or lasers for low-light situations.
The .380 Auto cartridge delivers adequate stopping power with manageable recoil. An 8-round capacity with two magazines provides flexibility. The easy-to-rack slide design accommodates shooters of varying hand strength. Includes cleaning kit.
Purpose: Home protection, personal protection, recreational shooting.
