About the Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 Metal
The Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 Metal is a striker-fired, full-size pistol manufactured by Smith & Wesson as part of their Military & Police (M&P) line. It is an evolution of the polymer-framed M&P M2.0, featuring an aluminum alloy frame designed for improved rigidity, balance, and a more traditional all-metal feel. The pistol is chambered in 9mm and is intended for duty, home defense, and serious recreational shooting.
How the California versions differ
- Both versions are chambered in 9mm.
- OR-14278 has a 4.25-inch barrel, while OR-14279 has a 4-inch barrel — a difference of one quarter inch in overall length.
- Both carry an MSRP of $949 as listed in the California DOJ roster.
- Both feature an optics-ready (OR) configuration, as indicated by the "OR" designation in their roster entries.
- No differences in finish, grip, or sights are indicated by the roster listings alone; buyers should verify additional specifications directly with the retailer or Smith & Wesson.
Who it suits
The M&P9 M2.0 Metal is well suited to shooters who prefer the weight and feel of an aluminum-framed pistol for home defense, range use, or duty carry, and who want a full-size 9mm with an optics-ready slide.
