The Smith & Wesson M&P 40 Shield is a slim, lightweight, and powerful semi-automatic pistol designed for concealed carry and personal defense. Chambered in .40 S&W, it delivers a higher level of stopping power than its 9mm counterpart, making it an ideal option for those seeking a compact yet potent handgun.
Weighing just 20.6 ounces unloaded and measuring 6.1 inches in overall length, the M&P 40 Shield offers a perfect blend of portability and performance. Its polymer frame and stainless steel slide provide durability while keeping the overall weight manageable for everyday carry. The slim profile, only 0.95 inches wide, allows for comfortable concealment without printing under clothing.
The Shield features a striker-fired action with a consistent trigger pull that is smooth and crisp, typically breaking around 6.5 pounds. It also includes a tactile and audible reset, which enhances control and shooting speed during follow-up shots. Some models include a manual thumb safety, while others opt for a simpler, no-safety design, catering to personal preference.
The pistol comes with a single-stack magazines: a flush-fit 7-round magazine for improved grip and capacity. Its textured grip ensures a secure hold, even under recoil, and the natural point-of-aim design aids quick target acquisition.
Low-profile, white dot sights are fixed and snag-free, making them ideal for drawing from concealment. Additionally, the Shield’s overall ergonomics, combined with its powerful caliber, make it a standout choice in the subcompact category.
Overall, the Smith & Wesson M&P 40 Shield is a robust and reliable option for concealed carry. It combines the stopping power of the .40 S&W cartridge with a compact, easy-to-carry design, offering security and performance in a trusted, well-engineered package.
comes with box and spare mag.

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
