Smith and Wesson Shield Performance Center in 9mm

This pocket pistol is built to impress connoisseurs, while adding practical benefit to a pistol that’s already built for extremely reliable, extremely accurate service. It’s not IDPA legal under current rules (even for backup guns), but it’s also designed for defense rather than competing.
Like so many of the higher-end features of customized carry guns, the porting, the improved sear and improved plunger add a certain something to the shooting experience, which is quite subtle (never mind the not-subtle muzzle blast). Though these improvements are not strictly necessary, when considering a tool to save your life, those subtle advantages may be just what you want working in your favor.
