The Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 Performance Center Compact delivers enhanced accuracy and reliability in a duty-sized package optimized for concealed carry and professional use. This optics-ready pistol combines Performance Center upgrades with the proven M2.0 platform.
What Makes This Different
Performance Center enhancements include a ported barrel and slide for reduced muzzle rise, plus a factory-tuned trigger system that breaks cleaner than standard M&P models. The optics-ready slide accepts popular red dot sights without requiring adapter plates. Enhanced grip texturing provides superior control compared to original M&P designs, while maintaining the reliability that made this platform a choice for law enforcement agencies nationwide.
Key Features
- Performance Center ported barrel and slide reduces felt recoil and muzzle flip
- Optics-ready slide cut accepts micro red dot sights directly

The 4.25-inch barrel provides excellent accuracy potential while maintaining concealability for everyday carry. Performance Center porting reduces felt recoil by approximately 15% compared to non-ported variants, enabling faster follow-up shots in competition or defensive scenarios. The pistol functions reliably with a wide range of 9mm ammunition weights from 115 to 147 grains. Weather-resistant Armornite finish protects against corrosion in harsh conditions.
