The Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P9 M2.0 Metal Carry Comp 9mm pistol (Smith & Wesson part no. 14915) is the compensated version of the M2.0 Metal, built to use the gas leaving the muzzle so the gun stays flatter between shots. Its 4.22-inch stainless steel barrel is ported and the stainless slide is ported to match, finished in Performance Center Grey Armornite on a full-size black aluminum frame with a front rail. The Carry Comp PowerPort diverts gas upward to reduce felt recoil, and the ClearSight cut sends those gases away from a mounted optic so the window stays clear. A flat-face trigger, an 18-degree grip angle and a front night sight round out the controls, and there is no manual thumb safety. Two 15-round magazines ship with it, making it a strong choice for duty-style carry and competition.
