Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm 8rd Stainless Steel Compact Pistol

The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 199360000 delivers reliable concealed carry performance in a slim profile that accommodates everyday carry without printing. This single-stack 9mm pistol combines the proven M&P platform with enhanced corrosion resistance through its stainless steel construction.

What Makes This Different

The stainless steel slide and barrel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard blued finishes, making this variant ideal for humid climates or extended carry periods. The single-stack magazine design achieves a slim 0.95-inch width while maintaining an 8+1 capacity. This balance of concealability and firepower addresses the primary challenge faced by concealed carry holders who need adequate capacity without bulk.
