Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 Compact series pistols now available with 3.6" barrel
The M2.0 3.6" Compact variant of the M&P line of pistols by Smith & Wesson is here!
Just three days ago, Smith & Wesson – one of the world's oldest and most trusted firearm manufacturers – announced the addition of a short-barreled version to its popular M&P M2.0 Compact pistol series.
The newest in a series of additions to the M2.0 platform, the M&P M2.0 Compact 3.6″ pistols feature a 3.6″ (9,1 cm) barrel, the enhanced M2.0 feature set, and the highly desired magazine capacities of the M&P M2.0 Compact 4″ pistols as well as other highlights of the line including an extended stainless-steel chassis and a low barrel bore axis for reduced muzzle rise and faster aim recovery.
The Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 3.6" Compact pistols are available in 9mm and .40 caliber
Solidly built on a black polymer frame, all versions feature a stainless steel slide with a black Armornite finish
The M&P M2.0 line improves performance with a fine-tuned, crisper trigger, lighter pull and a tactile and audible reset
The grip can host 15+1 rounds magazines in 9mm and 13+1 rounds magazines in .40 S&W
« When we launched the M&P M2.0 Compact pistol series with a 4″ barrel last September, we knew it was just the first step in expanding the popular Compact pistol size offering,» said Jan Mladek, General Manager of Smith & Wesson and M&P brands.
« During the development process, there was considerable interest in a shorter, 3.6″ barrel concept, and with this introduction, we’re now able to offer our consumers a lighter, shorter compact pistol for concealed carry. While the barrel length is shorter, the M&P M2.0 Compact 3.6″ pistol maintains the 15 round, 9mm magazine capacity of the Compact series – an important requirement for many of our customers.»
