Smith & Wesson M&P9 Shield Plus 9mm, No Thumb Safety, 3.1 in Barrel, Trijicon Night Front Sight, Armornite Finish, 13+1, SKU 13248
This Smith & Wesson M&P9 Shield Plus is the No Thumb Safety configuration with a micro-size profile and a factory 3.1 in stainless steel barrel. It stands out for its upgraded Trijicon night front sight (H3 21), staggered-stack 13+1 capacity, and the inclusion of three steel magazines. The pistol comes with its factory box labeled to SKU 13248 and the original safety and instruction manual.
The slide wears an Armornite black finish with fish-scale rear serrations, and the polymer frame is matte black with M2.0 aggressive texture grips. It is striker-fired with a trigger safety and a flat-faced trigger featuring a hinged safety with tactile, audible reset. This NTS variant is capable of firing with the magazine removed and has no magazine disconnect.
Sight picture is steel-on-steel: a Trijicon night front paired with a plain steel square-notch rear. The sight radius measures 5.3 in. The front sight is a non-factory replacement for this specific SKU, offering low-light visibility while keeping a clean rear notch.
Function-focused details include the 1:10 RH twist stainless barrel and a slide that is not optic cut. The dustcover has no accessory rail. The package includes one 13-round magazine with an extended/grip-sleeve baseplate and two 10-round magazines with flush baseplates, as shown. Made in the USA.

The slide features fish-scale rear serrations for traction. The trigger is flat-faced with a hinged safety and provides a tactile, audible reset. The design uses a staggered-stack magazine system, and this pistol ships with both 10- and 13-round options to suit carry or extended capacity needs.
