This is another M&P Shield gun from Smith & Wesson big family, but with a plus in magazine capacity. As the original Shield, it’s a 9-mm semi-automatic small-size pistol with an overall length of 6.1 inches. This is a great solution for shooters who want a compact-size gun with more than 9 bullets, packed in a double-stack magazine. Its predecessor is one of the top-rated pistols in the U.S. and the Shield Plus is nothing less than that since it’s not very different. It’s built on the same basis, only with more round capacity. The 13-round magazine capacity makes it the highest capacity subcompact pistol in the Smith & Wesson weaponry. There’s also a 10-round model available in states with capacity limits. The gun features an improved high-quality flat-face trigger, with the trigger pull around 6 pounds and an audible trigger reset. It’s crisp, smooth, with minimal creep and short reset, and the trigger safety blade is wide. The buyers can choose between models with or without a thumb safety. The frame is made of stainless steel, with Armornite coating, and the grips have a new enhanced texture. The grip itself has an 18-degree angle. The gun has a very manageable recoil, considering the 9-mm ammo that it uses. Overall, it is a highly reliable concealed-carry gun with excellent performance, and it’s a good choice for any type of shooter. It’s also available in Performance center Edition, with slightly longer barrel length.
