NEW Shield Plus from Smith & Wesson

Smith & Wesson just released their latest pistol, the Shield Plus. This is an update to the venerable Shield line, bringing it into competition with more modern, higher capacity offerings like the Springfield Hellcat and SIG P365.  The gun features a flat faced trigger, with a Glock-style trigger safety across all models. Shooter’s have their choice of adding a manual safety, as well as three dot white or tritium night sights. Flush fit magazines feature a 10 round capacity, with extended 13 round magazines available.
