The fifth iteration of our Spec Series family is a first of its kind, built with superior performance in mind. It is a striker-fired pistol chambered in 9mm, has a 23-round capacity, and utilizes a newly designed aluminum trigger to facilitate more consistent and accurate shooting.
Weighing in at 2.31 pounds (without a magazine), the M&P9 Metal HD features a steel frame construction with enhanced texturing, a steel magwell, and a steel optics plate that increases overall weight andhelpsp reduce felt recoil. Its 4.8-inch threaded barrel, controls, and magwell all display a sharp blue PVD finish, and it is equipped with a Strike Industries™ compensator to mitigate muzzle rise and improve control.
“Our polymer M&P handguns have been widely recognized for their ergonomics and reliability. We integrated these trusted attributes into a steel platform to help mitigate felt-coil, allowing users to keep their pistols running flat and fast. This new Spec Series offers an advantage in today’s dynamic shooting environments while delivering a premium look and feel,” said Corey Beaudreau, Product Manager.
The M&P9 Metal HD ships with tall C.O.R.E.™ green night sights out of the box and also includes an optics-ready slide if you choose to operate your preferred red dot. Additional features include three 23-round magazines, a Limited-Edition Spec Series Coin and Knife, and a hard carry case.
