The Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P9 Shield Plus in 9mm (Smith & Wesson part no. 13254) is a micro-compact carry pistol with a ported barrel and slide. The porting is meant to reduce muzzle rise, and a PC tuned action tightens up the feel. It has a manual thumb safety, fiber optic sights and a 3.1-inch barrel. A 13-round magazine and a flush-fit 10-round magazine are included. It is a tuned-up option for carriers who want a flatter-shooting Shield Plus.
