This Smith & Wesson M&P9 2.0 Metal OR has a slightly lower bore-axis than comparable models, which means it has a flatter recoil angle and reduced muzzle rise. It allows you to get the pistol right back on target, enabling you to shoot faster and more consistently. There’s a front- and rear sight on top of the slide and they both have white dots. Those dots make the sights considerably more noticeable, allowing you to focus on the target. You can also choose to us a red dot, because the pistol features an Optics-ready slide. There’s a plate on the back of the slide, which can be removed to free up some space for the red dot. This results in the red dot being slightly sunk into the slide, which means it’s closer to the barrel. Additionally, the Smith & Wesson M&P9 2.0 Metal OR uses an M2.0 flat face trigger.
There are several diagonal, slightly wavy serrations on both sides of the slide. These provide slightly more grip, allowing you to pull the slide back more effectively. The Smith & Wesson M&P9 2.0 Metal OR’s frame is made of aluminium and it features synthetic grip panels on both the front and the back of the grip. Those panels have a rough texture for added grip. The ergonomically designed backstrap is also slightly curved, which makes the pistol feel great to hold in your hands. It comes supplied with four differently sized backstraps (S, M, ML, L), so you can use the size that feels most comfortable for you. The magazine pin is located on the left side of the frame out of the box, but it is reversible. This means the Smith & Wesson M&P9 Metal OR can be used by both left- and righthanded shooters.
This striker fired pistol features a short Weaver/Picatinny accessory rail, that’s located on the bottom of the fore-end. That rail allows you to easily put an accessory onto the pistol, such as a lamp or something like a laser. The magazine has a capacity of 17 9x19 mm rounds. This pistol comes with a very useful tool, that’s located right next to the magazine in the foot of the grip. That tool can be used to disassemble the pistol. After catching the slide with the slide-catch, you can flip the takedown lever to remove the slide. Before taking it off, however, you’ll have to remove the tool from the grip and use it to push down the yellow/green rod, which can be seen through the open ejector. Doing so will disengage the striker pin, allowing for easier disassembly.
