The Smith & Wesson M&P45 Shield with Manual Thumb Safety brings compact concealment and .45 ACP power together in one of the slimmest, most reliable striker-fired carry pistols on the market.
Designed for personal defense, this model features a 3.3″ barrel, 7+1 capacity, and enhanced grip texture for confident control under pressure. The addition of a manual thumb safety gives carriers extra assurance when holstering, drawing, or carrying condition 1.
Finished with a Black Armornite®-coated slide and paired with a polymer frame, the M&P45 Shield is durable, corrosion-resistant, and easy to carry day after day.
