This Performance Center edition incorporates a factory-ported barrel and a windowed, ported slide designed by S&W’s in-house shop. The slide wears a matte black finish with scalloped rear serrations for confident manipulation.
Sighting is fast and clear thanks to dovetailed fiber-optic sights, featuring a green front and red two-dot rear. The micro-size Shield 1.0 pattern keeps the profile slim while retaining a maximum capacity of 8+1.
The striker-fired action uses a hinged safety trigger and includes a reversible magazine release. This specific model omits a manual thumb safety, aligning with the "No Thumb Safety" configuration noted for this submodel.
The black polymer frame complements the matte black slide, and the overall build reflects the Performance Center series focus on feature-rich factory configurations. The package includes one 7-round and one 8-round factory magazine.
