The Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P9 M2.0 Competitor HD is a full-size, all-stainless 9mm pistol built for competition shooters (brand part no. 14069). Smith & Wesson gives it a 5-inch spiral-fluted barrel, a lightening-cut slide and a stainless frame with deeper side texturing, and this version adds a manual thumb safety. The slide is optic ready, and the front sight combines tritium with a fiber-optic element for a bright sight picture in changing light. It ships with four 17-round magazines and four interchangeable palmswell grip inserts so the grip can be fitted to your hand. Shooters who want a thumb safety on a metal-frame M&P will find it here.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is 9mm, the most common caliber in competition and training.
• Each magazine holds 17 rounds, and the pistol ships with four magazines.
• Barrel length is 5 inches, which gives a long sight radius and helps reduce recoil for faster follow-up shots.
• The barrel is spiral-fluted stainless steel with a 1:10 twist and an Armornite finish.
• A manual thumb safety adds a positive on-off control to the striker-fired action.
• The slide is optic ready and carries lightening cuts with deeper, more aggressive serrations.
• The front sight is HIVIZ tritium with a fiber-optic element, which stays visible in low light and bright light alike.
• The rear sight is a blacked-out serrated U-notch, which cuts glare and keeps the front sight prominent.
• The frame is full-size stainless steel with an Armornite finish, adding weight that settles the pistol between shots.
