S&W M&P9 Shield Plus
Smith's answer to the carry category, and it's a very good one. Thirteen rounds in an exceptionally thin frame, and above all — the best trigger in the category. Anyone who shoots regularly will feel that difference from the first shot, and beginners will simply hit better.
What's good about it
- The best trigger in the carry category — clean, with a defined reset
- 13 rounds in an exceptionally thin frame
- One of the best price-to-performance values on the market
What's less good
- Not all versions come with an optic cut — you need to check
- Fewer holsters in Israel than Glock
- Also available with a manual safety, which makes buying confusing
