The M&P (Military & Police) 9 M2.0 is Smith & Wesson's evolved answer to polymer striker pistols, representing a significant improvement over the original 2005 M&P platform. The M2.0 features an aggressive 18 LPI grip texture, a revised trigger with a tactile and audible reset, four interchangeable palm swell inserts, and a stainless steel chassis for improved accuracy.

The M&P platform is the duty pistol of choice for agencies that want an American-made alternative to Glock. The Performance Center variants (M&P 9 M2.0 PC) feature ported barrels and slides, enhanced triggers, and OptiLock optic mounts. The Shield Plus (single-stack variant) rounds out the lineup for EDC applications. S&W's APRON trigger upgrade transforms the M2.0's already-improved trigger into a genuine competition-grade unit.
