Distinctive Black and Orchid Finish

The magazine and grip design provide a useful combination of ammunition capacity and gripping surface without moving away from the streamlined concept of the Shield family.
Optics-Ready Slide

Factory optics capability allows the pistol to be configured with a modern electronic sight without requiring aftermarket slide machining.
Flat-Face Trigger
A modern flat-face trigger provides consistent trigger-finger placement and complements the updated ergonomics of the Shield X platform.
The trigger design provides a contemporary interface compared with the hinged trigger systems used on earlier generations of M&P Shield pistols.
Integrated Accessory Rail

This addition expands the versatility of the Shield platform and gives owners greater flexibility when configuring the pistol for their individual preferences.
Shield X Grip and Ergonomics

Aggressive grip texturing provides additional traction and carries forward the ergonomic characteristics associated with Smith & Wesson’s modern M&P pistols.
Front and Rear Slide Serrations
Functional front and rear slide serrations provide multiple gripping surfaces for slide manipulation.
The aggressive serration pattern also contributes to the contemporary appearance of the Shield X.
Slim Concealed-Carry Design

Its combination of increased capacity, a substantial gripping surface and slim overall profile provides a useful balance between concealability and comfortable handling.
