Shield X

Just showed up on my YouTube

Looks like a Shield Plus with redesigned and extended grip so that there is now a 13 and 15 round option only. 3.6" barrel. Plus a rail.

NRA Women | New Guns 2025: Smith & Wesson M&P Shield X Series

The new iteration of the Shield series was designed with CCW versatility in mind.

Waiting on a real set of specifications on this. Their listed on S&W's web site, but when I go to the page, I get 404 errors. Oops. I'm sure this will get fixed shortly, but it's not a goo look.

Could be interesting competition to the P365XL and Hellcat Pro. I like a gun with a manual safety, and this offers one. But it's the Shield too small, hard to use variety. The M&P safety design in much better.

I'm liking what I see. True, it looks like a bigger BG 2.0, but my Shield PC 2.0 in 9mm has always been a winner.

I always carry my shield Plus comp with the 13 rounder.
So I’m gonna wait for the comp version. But I likely.
I haven’t looked/tried, but can the 13 rounder mags for the shield plus..can you remove that spacer at the bottom?
I like the 4” barrel on the plus comp to be honest.

It looks great to me since it adds to the Shield Plus, a rail, is optic ready, and with or without a safety.

… and they said the channeled the exhaust gas AWAY from the opting mounting area. I love my OR 2.0 but the optic gets dirty pretty quick. This change alone would make me take a closer look.

The SP Carry Comp said this, too.
