Description
The Shield Plus is what happened when Smith & Wesson took their best-selling carry pistol and fixed the one thing everyone asked about: capacity. You get 13+1 with the extended magazines and 10+1 with the flush-fit mag, all in a frame that stays 1.1 inches wide and fits most holsters made for the original Shield. At 20.2 ounces with a 6.1 inch overall length, it disappears under a t-shirt but still gives you enough grip to hang onto during rapid strings.
Why This Shield Plus Stands Out
This particular model, SKU 13250, comes from the factory with tritium night sights front and rear, so your sight picture doesn't quit when the light does. The front sight wears an orange ring for fast pickup in daylight too. Plenty of people spend extra money and a trip to the gunsmith adding night sights to a carry gun, and here that work is already done. The 3.1 inch stainless steel barrel and slide both wear S&W's Armornite finish, which shrugs off sweat and holster wear better than plain bluing ever will.
Trigger and Grip Built for Real Carry
The flat face trigger breaks around five pounds with a tactile, audible reset, and the flat profile helps you index your finger the same way every press. The grip texture is a noticeable upgrade over the older M2.0 stippling: grippy enough to control recoil, but it won't chew up your side during a full day of carry. The 18 degree grip angle points naturally, and takedown happens without pulling the trigger thanks to the sear deactivation lever.
What Comes With the M&P Shield Plus 13250
Three magazines ship in the box, two extended 13-rounders and one flush 10-rounder, so you have a carry mag, a spare, and a lower-profile option from day one. There's no thumb safety on this version, keeping the draw stroke simple. It's all backed by Smith & Wesson's lifetime service policy, which is about as good as peace of mind gets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the M&P Shield Plus fit holsters made for the original Shield?
In most cases, yes. Smith & Wesson kept the Shield Plus frame and slide dimensions nearly identical to the legacy Shield, so the majority of Shield holsters work fine. It's still smart to confirm fitment with your holster maker, since some molded kydex rigs are cut tighter than others.
What kind of night sights come on this Shield Plus?
This model ships with factory-installed tritium night sights on both the front and rear. The front sight also has an orange ring around the tritium vial, which makes it quick to pick up in daylight while the glowing dots handle low-light work. No aftermarket sight swap needed.
How many magazines are included with the Shield Plus 13250?
Three total. You get two extended 13-round magazines and one flush-fit 10-round magazine. The 13-rounders give you extra capacity and a fuller grip, while the 10-rounder keeps the profile as compact as possible for deep concealment.
Does this version of the Shield Plus have a manual thumb safety?
No, this model is the no-thumb-safety configuration. It still has a trigger safety and S&W's internal safety systems, and the striker-fired design keeps operation simple: draw, aim, press. If you prefer a manual safety, S&W offers the Shield Plus in that configuration under a different part number.
