A well-balanced, durable handgun with competition-friendly ergonomics can make fast, repeatable shots and smooth reloads the new normal at the range.

SMITH & WESSON M&P9 M2.0 METAL COMPETITOR

The SMITH & WESSON M&P9 M2.0 METAL COMPETITOR brings a 5″ barrel and a Tungsten Gray Cerakote finish that enhances abrasion and corrosion resistance while giving the pistol a professional, competition-ready appearance. Built as a striker-fired Semi Auto platform, it combines the familiar M&P ergonomics with metal-frame mass to reduce muzzle flip and improve follow-up shot control.

Design and durability

The Tungsten Gray Cerakote surface protects the slide and frame from wear, while the Armornite finish on the 5″ barrel provides an added layer of corrosion resistance for long-term service life. The metal construction increases perceived weight, which helps stabilize recoil impulse during rapid strings of fire — a performance advantage in timed matches and tactical drills.
