The Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 Optic-Ready Slide Assembly in black (brand part no. 14568) updates a 5-inch M&P9 M2.0 pistol for a red dot. Smith & Wesson cuts the slide for its C.O.R.E. plate and screw system and installs optic-height sights, so you can mount an optic and still use the irons. It is a drop-in swap that reuses your own frame, barrel and recoil spring. The slide is built for the 5-inch barrel length only.

Key Specifications

• Fit is the M&P9 M2.0 with a 5-inch barrel, and it will not fit earlier non-M2.0 versions, so check your slide for M2.0 markings.
• The optic cut uses the C.O.R.E. plate and screw system, which lets you mount a range of aftermarket optics.
• The package is the slide and optic-height sights only; you reuse your original frame assembly, barrel and recoil spring.
• The sights are co-witness height white dot sights, which give a usable sight picture in poor light and let you use the open sights with an optic mounted.
• Installation is a drop-in swap, so changing slides between optic setups is easy.
• It is not compatible with Tactile Loaded-Chamber Indicator (TLCI) models, which matters when checking your pistol before ordering.
• The color is black, matching the standard finish on a black-framed M&P9.
