Shot Show 2016: S&W Performance Center Ported M&P Shield

Smith & Wesson is introducing its highly acclaimed M&P Shield pistol, in both 9mm and .40 S&W, with a factory ported barrel and slide.Engineered on a high-strength polymer frame measuring .95-inches in width, the Performance Center Ported M&P Shield is standard with a 3.1-inch factory-ported barrel. The new barrel along with the pistol’s three precision cut ports across the top of the stainless steel slide aid in reducing muzzle flip and improve the ability to remain on target after firing. The new M&P Shield pistols have been further updated with fiber optic sights and an enhanced trigger.
