The Smith & Wesson Equalizer NTS is a 9mm micro-compact pistol with an optic-ready slide and no manual thumb safety (brand part no. 13592). It uses the EZ-style easy-to-rack slide, a crisp single-action trigger and a 3.675-inch barrel that gives a longer sight radius than most pistols this size. Three magazines ship with it, in 10, 13 and 15 rounds, so you can choose between the slimmest carry setup and the most capacity. The grip texture, Picatinny-style rail and Armornite finish round out a compact pistol aimed at concealed carry and home defense. This is the Smith & Wesson Equalizer version without a thumb safety.
