Compensated carry pistols have gotten popular because they reduce muzzle flip, and this Performance Center M&P9 M2.0 Metal puts that into a duty-size 9mm. It has a 4.22" barrel, a 17+1 capacity, and an OD Green and gray finish.

The metal in the name means an aluminum frame rather than polymer, which adds weight and steadies the pistol in recoil. The Carry Comp part refers to the compensator, which vents gas to help keep the muzzle down for faster follow-up shots. Spend time with the controls at home with the pistol unloaded and checked, so the draw and grip feel natural before you go to the range. A good holster that covers the trigger guard matters as much as the pistol itself, so budget for one.

The OD green finish is a nice change from black.

A heavier pistol is a good fit for the range and the nightstand. For carry, the weight may be more than you want to wear in the heat of a North Carolina summer.

The price is higher than a standard M&P because of the extras.

New condition. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer for pickup and the background check.
