Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 10mm 4″ Compact Pistol, Optic Ready, 10+1

Description

There's a reason 10mm has made such a comeback, and the M&P M2.0 Compact is one of the best arguments for it. Smith & Wesson followed up the full-size M&P 10mm with this 4-inch version, shortening the slide and barrel into a package that rides better on the hip whether you're headed into the backcountry or just want serious power in a manageable frame. At around 28 ounces unloaded with a 7.2-inch overall length, it handles more like a duty 9mm than the big steel 10mm pistols of years past.

Built to Tame the 10mm

The M2.0 platform earns its keep here. The low bore axis keeps muzzle rise in check, the 18-degree grip angle points naturally, and the aggressive M2.0 grip texture locks your hand in place when the recoil gets stout. Four palmswell inserts (S, M, ML, and L) let you dial in the fit for your hand, which matters more with this cartridge than most. The flat-face trigger gives you the same finger placement shot after shot, and the enhanced sear delivers a lighter, cleaner break than the original M&P design.

Optic Ready with the C.O.R.E. System

The slide comes cut with Smith & Wesson's C.O.R.E. mounting system, so it accepts most popular red dots on the market without a trip to a machinist. The white-dot irons sit at optic height, meaning you'll still have a usable sight picture with a dot mounted or if the battery quits at a bad time. The 4-inch stainless steel barrel runs a 1:10 twist and wears an Armornite finish, as does the slide, so corrosion resistance is covered for hard outdoor use.

What You Get with This M&P 10mm

This configuration ships with two 10-round magazines, the full set of grip inserts, and a manual thumb safety for those who want that extra layer of control. Between hog hunting backup, trail carry in bear country, and plain old range fun, this pistol covers a lot of ground for one gun. It's the kind of 10mm you'll shoot enough to get good with.
