Engineered to enhance the M&P Shield X platform, the new PC Shield X Carry Comp delivers a superior shooting experience. Chambered in 9mm with a capacity of 13+1, 15+1 or 10+1 for compliant states, it is an ideal choice for those looking for a premium sub-compact concealed carry option. The innovative PowerPort™ feature integrated into its 3.6-inch fluted barrel effectively harnesses high-pressure gases to mitigate muzzle rise during firing, thereby reducing felt recoil. Similar to the standard Shield X model, this pistol features aggressive front and rear serrations for enhanced racking ease, a reversible magazine catch, and a longer, ergonomically designed grip that maximizes capacity. Additionally, it encompasses an integrated front rail and squared-off trigger guard to accommodate various light and laser accessories.

Out of the box, it comes equipped with an Ameriglo® Trooper LumiGreen front sight and a blacked-out serrated u-notch rear sight to improve visibility in low-light or daylight conditions. The PC Shield X Carry Comp utilizes an RMSc/K optics-ready footprint that provides direct-mounting capabilities for red dot sights and also includes a ClearSight™ Cut design intended to divert gases away from the optic glass, ensuring an unobstructed view.

Comfortable, reliable, and designed with purpose – the new Performance Center M&P9 Shield X Carry Comp is an optimal self-defense carry option. For more information, visit www.smith-wesson.com.
