Key specifications

Understanding the hardware helps match the platform to mission or lifestyle needs.

Caliber and performance

The rifle is chambered in 9mm Luger (9×19), a widely available cartridge with mild recoil and proven terminal performance with appropriate loads. The 9mm caliber makes training cheaper and magazine compatibility with many pistol systems possible for streamlined logistics.

Magazine capacity and controls

This example ships with two 21-round magazines, offering high on-gun capacity for defensive use or extended range sessions without frequent reloads. Magazine count and capacity influence reload planning and usable rounds on target in tactical drills.

Barrel, cycling, and finish

A 16.5″ barrel delivers a good balance of velocity and maneuverability inside vehicles or tight environments. The black matte finish reduces glare and simplifies maintenance. As a semi-automatic carbine, follow standard maintenance intervals to keep the action reliable.

Tactical and practical applications

As a Smith & Wesson factory platform, this carbine suits home defense, competition training, and range work. The modest weight and 9mm chambering make it approachable for new shooters while retaining capability for experienced users who prefer a pistol-caliber rifle for close-quarters dynamics.

For those evaluating purchase logistics, this unit is listed at $649.99 and is offered as a used item in very good, like-new condition. View product details and pricing on the shop page to confirm inventory and photos. View product details
