The S&W Performance Center M&P9 Shield X Carry Comp 9mm in Midnight Bronze is a subcompact pistol with a ported and fluted barrel, a manual thumb safety and an optic cut (Smith & Wesson part no. 14891). The Carry Comp PowerPort directs gas upward to reduce felt recoil, and the slide wears a Performance Center Grey Armornite finish over a Midnight Bronze Cerakote frame. An Ameriglo Trooper LumiGreen front night sight helps in low light. With two 10-round magazines and a slim, textured grip, it is built for daily carry by a shooter who values a flatter-shooting subcompact.

Key Specifications

• The pistol is chambered in 9mm Luger with a striker-fired, semi-automatic action.

• The Carry Comp PowerPort directs gas upward when firing, which reduces felt recoil.
• The slide has a flat-plane RMSc/K optic cut, so a compatible red dot mounts directly.

• The front sight is an Ameriglo Trooper LumiGreen night sight, paired with a blacked-out serrated U-notch rear.
