The Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P Shield Plus pistol in 9mm Luger with a 3.1-inch ported barrel (brand part no. 13254) is an easy-to-conceal pistol offering professional-grade features with simple operation and reliable day-or-night performance. Smith & Wesson ports both the barrel and slide to reduce muzzle flip, and red/green fiber optic sights pair with front cocking serrations for fast target acquisition. An embedded stainless steel chassis system backs the black polymer frame, and an Armornite finish provides durable corrosion resistance throughout. A manual safety, a slim compact profile, and aggressive grip texture round out the package, with two magazines and a cleaning kit included. Among ported Performance Center semi-auto handguns, this Shield Plus configuration favors shooters who want reduced recoil in a genuinely concealable frame.
