Smith & Wesson M&P40 Shield 1.0 .40 S&W, Manual Thumb Safety, 3.1 in Barrel, Black Melonite Slide, Micro Single-Stack
This Smith & Wesson M&P40 Shield 1.0 is the original manual-safety variant (SKU 180020) chambered in .40 S&W. It combines a 3.1 in stainless steel barrel with a black Melonite slide and an ultra-slim single-stack profile. It includes the factory box, manual, and one 6-round magazine.
Key features include a striker-fired action with a hinged trigger and trigger safety, a manual thumb safety, and drift-adjustable 3-dot sights. The slide is configured with rear cocking serrations only, and the dustcover has no accessory rail. The slide warning indicates it can fire with the magazine removed, confirming no magazine disconnect.
Field-stripping uses S&W's sear deactivation lever, allowing takedown without pulling the trigger. The textured polymer frame with S&W medallion provides a solid hold while keeping the micro footprint. Made in the United States, this Shield carries the M&P lineage in a compact, carry-friendly form.
This specific pistol is the single-stack .40 S&W configuration with a 6+1 capacity and a flush-base steel magazine. Sights are the standard dovetailed 3-dot set, both front and rear drift-adjustable for fine tuning.
