The Smith & Wesson Slide Assembly (brand part no. 14568) is a black, serrated slide cut for optical sight installation and sized for M&P9 pistols running a 5-inch barrel. It lets you update a trusted M&P9 to run a modern red dot without replacing the entire pistol; reuse your original frame assembly, barrel, and recoil spring, since this listing is the slide only. The front and rear serrations give a confident purchase for racking the slide under stress or with wet or gloved hands, and the black finish matches factory M&P furniture.
