The M&P series is Smith & Wesson's flagship duty pistol and has seen extensive use with many law enforcement agencies across America. The polymer frame allows the pistol to be lightweight with incredible natural weather resistance while being naturally shock-absorbent to aid in reducing felt recoil. Built on the field-proven striker action, the pistol gives users a consistent and reliable trigger pull with every shot for repeatable feedback to aid in achieving faster shooting proficiency. New for 2026, the the M&P9 has been upgraded with a standardized optic-ready configuration that comes with Smith & Wesson's C.O.R.E. adapter plate system along with optic-height sights for easy co-witnessing of iron sights with any desired aftermarket reflex sight. Additional updates include Smith & Wesson's new updated performance trigger that incorporates modern design technologies for better trigger response, comfort and feedback. This model cones in a full size, manual thumb safety configuration and a 4.22-inch barrel along with Smith & Wesson's signature Armonite finish. Two 15-round magazines are included.
