Description
The 10mm cartridge has made a serious comeback, and Smith & Wesson answered with one of the most shootable pistols in the caliber. The M&P 10mm M2.0 Optics Ready takes everything people like about the M2.0 platform and chambers it for a round that hits hard enough for hog hunting and backcountry protection while still being manageable at the range. The 4-inch stainless steel barrel wears S&W's tough Armornite finish and runs a 1:10 twist that stabilizes the heavy bullets 10mm fans tend to favor.
Why the M&P 10mm M2.0 Handles Recoil So Well
Ten millimeter has a reputation for being snappy, but this pistol does a lot to tame it. The low bore axis keeps the recoil impulse in line with your hand, so the muzzle stays flatter and you get back on target faster. The extended stainless steel chassis embedded in the frame cuts down on flex and torque, and four interchangeable palmswell grip inserts (S, M, ML, L) let you dial in the fit so the aggressive M2.0 texture actually locks into your hand instead of fighting it. At 27.8 ounces with a 7.2-inch overall length, it carries like a duty pistol, not a boat anchor.
Optics Ready Slide and a Trigger Worth Talking About
The slide comes cut for miniature red dots, and the white 3-dot sights are optic height, so you can co-witness once you mount your dot of choice. The M2.0 flat-face trigger gives you a consistent finger position shot after shot, with a crisp break and a tactile, audible reset that makes fast follow-ups feel natural. Up front, a Picatinny rail handles lights and lasers, and the striker-fired action on this model runs without a manual thumb safety for a clean, simple manual of arms.
What Comes With the M&P 10mm M2.0 Optics Ready
Smith & Wesson ships this one ready to work: two 15-round magazines, all four grip inserts, a cable lock, and the owner's manual. Takedown is simple too, since the sear deactivation system means you never have to pull the trigger to field strip it. Whether you want a woods gun, a range companion, or a home defense pistol with real authority, this one covers a lot of ground.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the M&P 10mm M2.0 Optics Ready have a manual thumb safety?
No, this model (13389) does not have a manual thumb safety, which keeps the manual of arms simple. If you prefer a thumb safety, Smith & Wesson offers the same 4-inch pistol as model 13390. The trigger safety and internal drop safeties are still built in.
What red dot optics fit the M&P 10mm M2.0 slide?
The slide is cut to accept popular miniature reflex sights, and the included optic-height white 3-dot sights sit tall enough to co-witness with most dots. Depending on the optic footprint, you may need the appropriate mounting plate or adapter. It ships with a cover plate installed so you can run it with irons alone until you pick an optic.
How does the M&P 10mm M2.0 handle full-power 10mm loads?
Better than most polymer 10mm pistols, thanks to a low bore axis and an extended stainless steel chassis in the frame that reduces flex under recoil. At 27.8 ounces it has enough heft to soak up the snap of hot loads without being a chore to carry. Owners commonly run everything from 165 to 200 grain loads without issue.
Is the 4-inch M&P 10mm a good choice for woods carry and hunting?
That is exactly where it shines. The 10mm Auto delivers serious energy for hogs, deer at handgun ranges, and predator defense in bear country, and the 7.2-inch overall length rides comfortably in a chest rig or belt holster. With 15+1 capacity and an optics-ready slide for a red dot, it makes a very capable trail companion.
