Smith & Wesson Announces S&W EQUALIZER (TM) Micro Compact 9mm Pistol

SPRINGFIELD, MA., (11/08/2022) - Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, introduces the all-new S&W® EQUALIZERTM.

Level the playing field with our best- performing micro-compact to date. Next- gen EZ technology, low recoil impulse, and versatile magazine capacity all in a compact footprint, make the EQUALIZERTM an ultimate CCW. This 9MM offering provides the perfect balance of power and capacity across 10, 13, and 15-round magazines. 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” 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.

"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," said John Myles, Senior Manager of New Products.
