Design and Tactical Features

As listed, this SMITH & WESSON RESPONSE comes in a matte black finish with a 16” configuration and is chambered in 9mm Luger (9×19). The 9mm cartridge is a common defensive caliber that offers moderate recoil, high magazine capacity potential, and economical ammunition—making it practical for both training and defensive scenarios. The semi-automatic action supports rapid follow-up shots while remaining familiar to users transitioning from pistols or other semi-auto platforms.

Durability and Handling

The matte black finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces glare in tactical environments. The inclusion of the original box and the documented serial number RST2652 gives buyers confidence in provenance and condition. At $675.99, this rifle represents a competitive price point for a factory-configured 9mm semi-auto from a reputable manufacturer.

Practical Applications

In home defense and close-quarters situations, a 16” 9mm semi-auto offers controllable ballistics and manageable recoil. Shooters benefit from the commonality of magazines and ammunition if they already carry a 9mm handgun, simplifying logistics. This platform is also suitable for range work and training given the lower cost per round compared with larger rifle calibers.
