About the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus

The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus is a subcompact semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, introduced by Smith & Wesson in 2021. The pistol features a polymer frame and a stainless steel slide, providing a durable platform designed for years of reliable service in both duty and civilian applications. With a magazine capacity of 13 rounds, this pistol offers ample firepower for defensive applications. The striker-fired action delivers a consistent trigger pull for every shot, reducing training complexity and providing reliable ignition. The 3.1-inch barrel keeps the package compact for concealed carry while still providing adequate velocity from the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge for effective terminal performance at defensive distances. Weighing 700g (24.7 oz) empty, this pistol provides enough mass to dampen felt recoil while remaining practical for holster carry and extended range sessions. Smith & Wesson's semi-automatic pistol designs draw on over 170 years of firearms manufacturing expertise, combining proven engineering principles with modern materials and manufacturing techniques to deliver reliable, accurate handguns trusted by military, law enforcement, and civilian shooters worldwide.

Smith & Wesson has been manufacturing firearms in Springfield, Massachusetts since 1852, making them one of the oldest and most respected names in the American firearms industry, with their revolvers and pistols serving in virtually every major conflict and law enforcement agency worldwide.
