The Smith & Wesson Shield has been one of the most successful carry pistols to ever hit the market. Its compact size, mixed with solid performance, has made it a go-to for hundreds of thousands of people. In the past, Smith & Wesson has partnered with the team at Davidsons to produce some exceptional versions of popular S&W guns. They have now teamed back up to create a special Shield. The Smith & Wesson Shield X.
Smith & Wesson Shield X – Special Models
Davidson’s newest exclusives developed in partnership with Smith & Wesson represent the very first threaded-barrel Shield X pistols from Smith & Wesson’s Performance Center.
Borrowing aesthetics from the M&P SPEC V series, these new exclusives give the blue PVD finish treatment to both the controls as well as the 4.1-inch 1/2×28 threaded, fluted barrels. The optic-cut slide has been redesigned with a new serration design, gray Armonite finish, and features S&W’s ClearSight slide cut that diverts gases forward and away from the optic. This completely redesigned slide is exclusive to Davidson’s.
Threaded Barrel and Comp Version
The Ameriglo Trooper square-notch black serrated rear sight is paired with an Ameriglo Trooper front night sight featuring a “Fire” ring and green tritium. Item number 14801 has a PVD blue finished, knurled thread protector, while item number 14802 comes with a Strike Industries Micro Threaded compensator delivering reduced recoil and flatter shooting performance. Both models come with one 13-round and one 15-round magazine.
Smith & Wesson Shield X
Purpose-built and featuring Performance Center refinements throughout, these new exclusives are distinct from standard Shield offerings – this is compact performance taken further.
