Performance Center tuning and trigger work

PC tuned action

The Performance Center PC tuned action smooths the pull and resets for follow-up shots, helpful when performing controlled pairs or precision single shots under stress. Combined with the flat face trigger, shooters get a predictable break and tactile reset that improves shot-to-shot consistency.

Safe, tool-free disassembly

This model retains M&P’s patented take-down lever and sear deactivation systems so you can disassemble the pistol without pulling the trigger—an important feature for safe field or range maintenance and training routines.

Controls, grip, and optics

Enhanced grip texture and ergonomics

Enhanced grip texture and an 18-degree grip angle promote a natural point of aim and secure control during recoil. The thin, lightweight frame makes the pistol comfortable for all-day carry while still allowing the user to run a 13-round magazine or swap to the included 10-round for jurisdictional needs.

Optics-ready slide and sighting package

The optics-ready slide ships with a Crimson Trace 4 MOA red dot, giving shooters a modern sighting solution straight from the box. The slide and barrel are ported to help manage muzzle rise and speed follow-up shots for defensive scenarios.

Durability, finishing, and value

Armornite corrosion resistant finish provides long-term protection in varied environments. At a listed price of $807.99 and with two magazines plus an installed red dot, this package is configured for users who want a carry-ready pistol without immediate aftermarket upgrades.
