Smith & Wesson M&P40 Shield 1.0 .40 S&W – Massachusetts-Compliant, Custom Red/Black Slide
This first-generation M&P40 Shield pairs Smith & Wesson’s slim, single-stack .40 S&W platform with a factory 10.5-lb Massachusetts-compliant trigger and a striking aftermarket red/black hydro-dip slide finish. The pistol retains its original fish-scale serrations, three-dot sights, and stainless 3.1 in barrel, offering a compact carry option that meets MA regulations while standing out visually.

The Massachusetts-compliant 10.5-lb trigger distinguishes this Shield from standard models, ensuring adherence to state regulations without external safeties.
An aftermarket red/black hydro-dip gives the stainless slide a unique appearance while retaining factory front and rear fish-scale serrations for positive grip during manipulation.
The 3.1 in stainless barrel features 5-groove right-hand rifling and a twist rate of 1 turn in 18.75 in (5 RH), delivering reliable accuracy in a compact form factor.
Polymer construction keeps weight down, and the 0.95 in-wide frame carries comfortably while still offering a 7+1 capacity with the extended magazine.
Dovetail white-dot sights provide a clear sight picture, and the included box, manual, fired case, and both factory magazines add completeness for the buyer or collector.
