The Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P Shield X Carry Comp 9mm is a subcompact carry pistol with a ported, fluted barrel and a PowerPort compensator in the slide (Smith & Wesson part no. 14775). Smith & Wesson gives it a flat-plane RMSc/K optic cut and front accessory rail, a manual thumb safety, and an Ameriglo Trooper LumiGreen front night sight with a blacked-out serrated U-notch rear. It ships with two 10-round magazines, as the California-compliant configuration. The Carry Comp porting diverts gas upward to reduce felt recoil so you can get back on target faster. It suits a concealed carrier who wants a red dot, a comp and a safety lever in one pocketable 9mm.
