S&W Shield-X | 9mm | 3.6″ Ported | Midnight Bronze

The Smith & Wesson Shield-X extends the Shield series with features aimed at versatility and everyday carry. It pairs a sub-compact polymer frame and a longer grip for increased capacity with a 3.6″ ported stainless steel barrel and aggressive slide serrations for positive manipulation. The slide includes a flat-plane RMSc/K optic cut and S&W’s ClearSight design to help preserve the sight picture when an optic is installed. For an optic that balances performance and value, consider a Vortex Venom red dot for a low-profile reflex solution under $1000.
