The Performance Center configuration delivers a factory-ported stainless steel barrel and a ported slide with lightening cuts to manage muzzle rise and reduce weight. Both the slide and barrel wear Smith & Wesson’s Black Armornite finish for corrosion resistance and a uniform black appearance.
The trigger system is Performance Center tuned, featuring a flat-face, hinged design with a tactile and audible reset. Safety features include a manual left-side thumb safety and a hinged trigger safety, paired with striker-fired operation and a locked-breech, tilting-barrel system.
Fiber-optic sights provide a clear sight picture, with a green front and red rear and an approximate 5.3 in sight radius. The micro-size polymer frame uses the aggressive Shield Plus grip texture with M&P logos for a secure hold.
This SKU 13254 variant omits an accessory rail on the dustcover for a streamlined profile. It is made in the United States and uses the Shield Plus thin stack-and-a-half magazine architecture, with included 13-round and 10-round steel magazines.
