The Performance Center M&P9 Shield EZ is here!
The wait is over!
Smith & Wesson’s Performance Center launched the M&P Shield EZ in 9mm yesterday. I love being able to share new products with you and Smith & Wesson sent me the silver, no thumb safety version. Check out my Facebook Live on this new edition to the EZ lineup. And because my internet connection was horrible, here’s the second part along with hi-res photos for more detail.
The official press release:
Performance Center M&P9 Shield EZ features easy to rack slide, easy to load magazine and custom upgrades
Smith & Wesson Inc. launched the new Performance Center M&P9 Shield EZ, chambered in 9mm and featuring a variety of Performance Center upgrades. Building on the popular M&P9 Shield EZ pistol, the new Performance Center models share the same easy-to-use features found across the entire M&P Shield EZ series, and are further enhanced with premium Performance Center features. The Performance Center M&P9 Shield EZ pistols are available with striking black, silver, and gold accents, and include a ported barrel, flat face trigger, tuned action, and more.
Performance Center has the ability to design and manufacture specialty upgrades normally found in aftermarket work, straight from the factory. With the popularity of the M&P9 Shield EZ, we set out to develop Performance Center versions with porting, a tuned action, aftermarket sights, and more. These new pistols deliver easy-to-use features with the custom upgrades that our customers expect the Performance Center to deliver.”
Tony Miele, Sr. Director, New Products and Performance Center
Built for personal and home protection, the new Performance Center M&P9 Shield EZ pistols are the latest addition to the M&P Shield EZ family and feature an 8+1 round capacity and a 3.8” barrel. The Performance Center M&P9 Shield EZ pistol ships with two 8 round magazines that feature a load assist tab for quick, easy loading, as well as a picatinny-style equipment rail to accommodate accessories. The pistol also features an optimal M&P pistol 18-degree grip angle for a natural point of aim, HI-VIZ® Litewave H3™ sights, and a light, crisp trigger.
