Compact carry pistols that blend proven ergonomics with meaningful upgrades are a staple for defensive-minded shooters. This review examines a finely tuned example that balances concealability, trigger control, and durable finishing for daily carry and range work.

SMITH & WESSON M&P9 SHIELD is presented here as a Certified Used firearm with custom work by Boresight Solutions that elevates a familiar platform into a tactical, user-focused package.

Key Upgrades and What They Deliver

The standout modifications are not cosmetic only. An Apex Tactical trigger shoe upgrade tightens the break and shortens take-up, giving a crisper, more predictable trigger press for fast follow-up shots. Custom grip stippling and a matching stippled mag spacer improve purchase on the frame—especially useful in adverse conditions or when sweat is a factor. The black cerakoted slide features machined serrations for positive manipulation and an engraved “Boresight Solutions” logo on top that signals the firearm’s custom origin.

Accessories Included

This Semi Auto package includes two 8-round magazines, a 9-round extended Promag for increased capacity when needed, and an RCS Gear trigger guard holster. Those add-ons make the pistol ready-to-go out of the box and demonstrate practical value for the listed price of $332.49. Certified Used status guarantees the pistol is in very good to excellent condition and is backed by a ‘no questions asked’ return policy.

Practical Applications and Handling

On the range, the improved trigger and positive slide serrations make rapid manipulation and accurate follow-up shots easier for shooters transitioning from stock M&P models. The stippling gives confidence during quick draws and subdued movement while the included holster offers a safe carry option. As a Semi Auto platform, it’s versatile for defensive carry, dry-fire practice, and training sessions.
