The Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 optic-ready slide in Flat Dark Earth is a slide cut for optical sight installation that updates an M&P9 M2.0 pistol with a 4.25-inch barrel (Smith & Wesson part no. 14478). Smith & Wesson supplies the slide with optic-height sights only, so you reuse your original frame assembly, barrel and recoil spring. The C.O.R.E. plate and screw system lets you mount a variety of aftermarket red dot optics. It is a drop-in swap, which makes it an easy path to a red dot on a pistol you already own.
