The Smith & Wesson M&P9 Shield Plus Optic Ready in 9mm with a manual thumb safety and a 10-round magazine (Smith & Wesson part no. 13559) is a micro-compact carry pistol with a slide cut for optics and a manual thumb safety. It adds night sights and a 3.1-inch barrel. The flush-fit 10-round magazine keeps the grip short for concealment. An 18-degree grip angle and a flat-face trigger make it comfortable to shoot. It suits carriers who want a red dot, night sights and a thumb safety on a thin pistol.
