New Handguns from Smith & Wesson

April 29, 2019 By G&A Digital Staff

Eric Poole, Editor of Guns & Ammo magazine, talks with Smith & Wesson’s Matt Spafford about their new handguns for 2019 during the 2019 NRA Annual Meetings. Last year Smith & Wesson introduced their M&P 380 Shield EZ, this year Performance Center is introducing their version of it. P/C has added some custom touches to the gun, such as gold accents that are also available in silver and black. The gun features lightening cuts in the slide, a ported barrel to help with recoil, HI-VIZ Litewave H3 Tritium/Litepipe sights, and a flat-faced trigger. The Performance Center M&P9 Shield is red-dot-ready and available with a 4-inch slide, but is still slim enough to carry and not print.

At the heart of the rifle is the Model 2020 action which wish designed and built with very tight tolerances thanks to Springfield's technology-driven manufacturing capabilities The stainless steel action features an integral recoil lug, and pairs with a fluted bolt employing dual cocking cams and an enhanced extractor for high pressure loads.
