With no less than three Performance Center M&P models, Smith & Wesson drops new 9mm carry pistols featuring the manufacturer's patented Carry Comp technology with Power Port vented barrel.
The Carry Comp technology helps reduce felt recoil and allows for faster follow-up shots without losing your target.
A redesigned slide with extremely aggressive serrations, optics-cut, night sights, and a PC-tuned trigger are also on board.
The new models are the M&P9 M2.0 Metal Carry Comp, the M&P9 M2.0 Compact Carry Comp, and the M&P9 Shield Plus Carry Comp – a full-size, a compact and a micro-compact design respectively, all chambered in 9mm.
Let's take a look in detail to the new Smith & Wesson's pistols.

M&P9 M2.0 Metal Carry Comp
The Performance Center M&P9 M2.0 Metal Carry Comp pistol is a full-size pistol equipped with a 4.22"/107 mm stainless steel barrel with 1:10" twist and Armornite finish. Magazine capacity is 17 rounds. As mentioned above, the pistol is optic-ready and the ClearSight Cut design diverts gasses away from the optic, for an unobstructed view when firing.
Trigger is flat-faced as is all the rage these days. Grip angle is a comfortable 18 degree, and four interchangeable palmswell grip inserts are included. The back sight is blacked-out and serrated, coupled to a night front sight. The stainless steel slide is ported, with Armornite finish. The pistol weighs 796 g and is 127 mm high.
MSRP in the US is $999, and the M&P9 M2.0 Metal Carry Comp ships with two 17-round magazines.
M&P9 M2.0 Compact Carry Comp
As its name implies, this is a compact design, the stainless steel barrel with Armornite finish being 4"/101 mm long. Height is the same as the previous model (127 mm), but weight is 720 g. Magazine capacity is 15 rounds.
The ClearSight Cut, flat-face trigger, 18-degree grip angle with four interchangeable palmswell grip inserts, blacked-out serrated rear sight and night front sight are also found in this model.
Priced at $799 (MSRP in the US), the M&P9 M2.0 Compact Carry Comp comes with two magazines.
M&P9 Shield Plus Carry Comp
The M&P9 Shield Plus Carry Comp is the micro-compact of the trio.
Same package as its larger siblings (ClearSight Cut, flat-face trigger, 18-degree grip angle with backstraps, blacked-out serrated rear sight, etc.) and same barrel length as the Compact Carry Comp model (4"/101 mm) but here height is just 117 mm and the gun ships with one 10-round magazine, one 13-round and one 15-round (extended) magazines.
MSRP in the US is $799.
