Smith & Wesson, one of America’s longest-standing, leading firearm brands for over 164 years, has added subcompact pistols to their popular lineup of M&P 2.0 handguns. Headquartered in Springfield, MA, S&W delivers unmatched superiority through innovative pistols, revolvers, rifles, and accessories. Adding confidence to every shooting experience, every Smith & Wesson product is built with precision and unrivaled craftsmanship at the forefront.
“As the M&P M2.0 pistol series has continued to expand, we have worked to introduce pistols that fit a variety of different needs: from professional use, to recreational shooting, to home defense, to concealed carry,” said Jan Mladek, General Manager of Smith & Wesson and M&P brands. “The M&P M2.0 Subcompact is designed for every day carry – its shorter frame makes it more concealable while still maintaining a higher double-stack magazine capacity.”
In addition to the M2.0, Shield M2.0, and M2.0 Compact, Smith&Wesson now offers subcompact pistols in 9mm and 45 Auto.
M&P9 2.0 Subcompact Series
Featuring a 3.6″ barrel, the subcompact line of 9mm 2.0 handguns hold 12 + 1 rounds with the two 12-round magazines Smith & Wesson is including with these striker-fired pistols. The pistols are offered with or without a manual thumb safety, whichever you prefer. Customers can upgrade capacity with two magazine sleeves to fit both the 17-round full-size and 15-round compact size magazines. The grip can also be customized with four interchangeable palmswell grips S&W is also including with the new M&P9 2.0 Subcompact Pistol.

I just bought the new M&P9 subcompact. When will your minituck be available for sale for this?
The Walther Arms Q4 Steel Frame Series includes the Q4 Steel Frame and Q4 Optics Ready Steel Frame model handguns
Hard to believe in today’s market that this pistol is not Optics ready!
It seems to be a real alternative to the Sig P365 XL (size & capacity) which I am looking at, maybe better looking.
I have both Sig and S&W, But I love my Optics..
