The Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P9 M2.0 Competitor HD (brand part no. 14068) is a full-size 9mm engineered for shooters who measure time in fractions of seconds. It pairs a spiral-fluted stainless steel 5-inch barrel with a lightening-cut Armornite slide that carries deeper, more aggressive serrations, and an all-stainless frame with new side texturing. This version has no thumb safety, an optic-ready slide and a HIVIZ tritium and fiber-optic front sight, so it is ready for a red dot out of the box. Four 17-round magazines ship with it. Built by Smith & Wesson, it is aimed at competition shooters who want the most agile Competitor yet.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm, the standard cartridge for production-division competition.
• Barrel length is 5 inches, and the heavy stainless build with a 5-inch barrel reduces recoil for faster, more accurate follow-up shots.
• The barrel is stainless steel and spiral fluted with an Armornite finish and a 1:10 twist.
• The pistol ships with four 17-round magazines, so a full match stage runs without a stop to reload.
• There is no thumb safety, which keeps the draw and the first shot as direct as possible.
• The slide is optic ready with a lightening cut, so a red-dot sight can be mounted without sending the slide out for milling.
• The sights are a HIVIZ tritium and fiber-optic front with a blacked-out serrated U-notch rear for a quick, bright sight picture in varying light.
• The frame is full-size stainless steel with an Armornite finish and enhanced texture for a secure grip when hands are wet or sweaty.
• Four interchangeable palmswell grip inserts let you fit the grip to your hand.
• The trigger is a flat-face design, paired with an extended magazine release for fast reloads.
