Features

The S&W M&P9 M2.0 Shield or Slide Blk is designed to offer a compact, concealed carry pistol that retains professional-grade features and reliable performance. The pistol features a slim slide and frame that make it easy to conceal, even on the waistline. This model is a single-stack design, which is optimized for concealed carry. The slim profile and compact size ensure that the pistol disappears under clothing, making it ideal for everyday carry.

The M&P9 M2.0 Shield or Slide Blk comes with a stainless steel Armornite™ finish on the barrel, which provides durability and resistance to corrosion. The pistol also features a trigger pull of approximately 5.5 pounds, making it responsive and easy to manipulate. The sights are standard 3-dot steel, offering clear visibility in various lighting conditions.

One of the key features of this model is the new grip texture, which is designed to enhance the user's grip and control. The texture is more effective and covers a larger surface area compared to the standard M&P Shield grip texture. This feature is particularly beneficial for rapid-fire strings, as it helps maintain a secure grip.

The pistol includes two magazines: a flush magazine that holds 7 rounds and an extended magazine that holds 8 rounds. The flush magazine provides a compact and discreet carry, while the extended magazine offers additional capacity for those who prefer a more substantial grip. The extended magazine, however, makes the pistol slightly taller, which may affect its concealability when carrying.

The slide features scalloped texturing on the lower portion of the front area, which while not particularly functional, adds a unique aesthetic. The model evaluated did not include an external thumb safety, but the pistol is available with this feature. The slide lock is designed to be easy to manipulate, ensuring smooth operation during use.

Additional Features

• Optics Ready: The pistol is optics ready, allowing for the installation of various sights or optics.
• Scalloped Texturing: The slide features scalloped texturing on the lower portion of the front area, providing a unique aesthetic.
• Thumb Safety: Available with or without an external thumb safety lever.
• Holosun Footprint: The slide has a SHIELD SMS and Holosun 507K footprint.
