Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc., introduces the all-new S&W Equalizer. This 9mm offering provides the perfect balance of power and capacity across 10, 13, and 15-round magazines.

"The Equalizer is a total package micro-compact pistol. Its multi-purpose design allows for a variety of setup options for use at the range and/or for personal carry, while not compromising on firepower or comfort," says John Myles, senior manager of new products.

Level the playing field with what Smith & Wesson says is their best-performing micro-compact to date. Next-gen EZ technology, low recoil impulse, and versatile magazine capacity all in a compact footprint, make the Equalizer an ultimate concealed-carry weapon (CCW).

The Equalizer features a single-action trigger that allows for a short take-up, clean break, and fast reset to make follow-up shots quicker. The slide operates using easy-to-rack technology to cater to a wide variety of needs and the frame includes a picatinny-style rail to mount lights or lasers for any defense scenario.

A new optic cut pattern allows the user to mount their choice of sight for enhanced accuracy and the 3.675-inch barrel gives a longer sight radius for increased iron sight precision. The equalizer also features a new grip texture and pattern designed to give you more control when firing and more comfort when carrying.
