S&W M&P Shield Plus 9mm 4" Performance Center Ported Red Dot

The Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P Shield Plus delivers enhanced accuracy and faster follow-up shots through precision porting and factory-installed Crimson Trace red dot optic. This compact striker-fired pistol combines the proven M&P platform with Performance Center refinements for serious shooters demanding more from their carry gun.

What Makes This Different

Performance Center porting reduces muzzle rise by 15-20% compared to standard models, enabling faster target reacquisition during rapid fire sequences. The factory-mounted Crimson Trace red dot eliminates the guesswork of aftermarket optic installation while maintaining zero integrity. Unlike basic Shield models, this variant includes dual magazine capacity options and enhanced trigger components straight from Smith & Wesson's custom shop.

Key Features

• 4-inch ported barrel with Armornite finish reduces recoil and enhances accuracy
• Factory-installed Crimson Trace red dot sight for rapid target acquisition
• Dual magazine system: 10-round flush-fit and 13-round extended magazines
• Performance Center enhanced trigger with crisp break and short reset
• Stainless steel slide with black matte Armornite coating resists corrosion
• Textured polymer grip provides secure hold in adverse conditions
• No manual safety design streamlines draw and deployment

Field performance demonstrates consistent 2-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition, while the ported barrel configuration maintains manageable recoil characteristics during extended range sessions. The red dot sight co-witnesses with backup iron sights, ensuring reliable aiming reference regardless of electronic optic status. Compact dimensions make this suitable for concealed carry while the 4-inch barrel provides velocity advantages over subcompact alternatives.
