The Smith & Wesson M&P9 Compact delivers full-size performance in a reduced frame that excels in concealed carry and duty applications. This 9mm Luger pistol combines proven M&P reliability with a compact profile that maintains shootability while reducing print visibility. The blued steel finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance and professional appearance.
What Makes This Different
The M&P9 Compact features a 3.5-inch barrel that delivers superior accuracy compared to subcompact alternatives while maintaining a grip length that accommodates most hand sizes. The polymer frame incorporates interchangeable backstraps for customized fit, while the low barrel bore axis reduces muzzle flip by approximately 15% compared to traditional designs. Smith & Wesson's proven striker-fired action eliminates external hammers and provides consistent 6.5-pound trigger pull.
