The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield X (SKU 14263) is the next evolution in the popular Shield series, offering an enhanced grip, higher capacity, and modern optic-ready design for today’s concealed carry and home defense market. Chambered in 9mm Luger, the Shield X features a 3.6" stainless steel barrel (Armornite® finish), and a black polymer sub-compact X Frame with aggressive slide serrations, front accessory rail, and RMSc/K-footprint optic cut. The slim, textured grip is extended for a true full-hand hold and increased capacity: ships with one 13-round flush magazine and one 15-round extended magazine.
Key ergonomic improvements deliver a better fit for all hand sizes and reduced felt recoil. The pistol features a flat-face trigger, reversible magazine release, and Smith & Wesson’s “ClearSight™” optic cut—a unique slide porting system that diverts gas from your red dot for a clear view under rapid fire.
