The micro-compact space within the firearms market is packed with great options. Small, light, comfortable, and full of features, these small firearms have changed the concealed carry game. One feature that has come to be a given is a slide that’s ready to accept a pistol-mounted optic. Coming to market with an anticipated update to their already successful M&P Shield Plus, Smith & Wesson has introduced the Shield Plus 3.1″ Optics Ready pistol.

The NEW Shield Plus 3.1″ Optics Ready Pistol From S&W
The M&P Shield Plus 3.1″ Optics Ready pistol comes pre-cut for optics using the Shield RMSc footprint, including the Crimson Trace CTS-1550. It uses a 3.1″ barrel to send a total of 14 rounds of 9mm downrange, with extended magazines. Flush-fit magazines hold a total of 10 rounds. The Shield Plus can come with or without a thumb safety. The optics-ready model comes standard with an orange ring tritium front night sight. The flat-faced trigger is meant to give shooters a more consistent pull. This, mixed with the precision of a red dot, should show an increase in effective shot placement.
