NEW FROM SMITH & WESSON COMES THE PERFORMANCE CENTER M&P 10MM M2.0! This new full-size polymer handgun, chambered in 10mm Auto, is focused on providing enhanced features for increased performance. It features a ported 5.6-inch barrel that reduces muzzle rise, optic-height tritium night sights for improved visibility in low-light conditions, and a Performance Center tuned flat M2.0 trigger with a crisp break and audible reset. The Performance Center 10mm slide is cut for optics and comes with Smith & Wesson’s C.O.R.E. plate system, two 15-round magazines, and four interchangeable palmswell grip inserts. “The new Performance Center 10mm was conceived with both the hunter and target shooter in mind. The goal was to build upon the M2.0 10mm series, with the intention of having reduced felt recoil and quicker follow-up shots. Popular features previously seen on other 5.6-inch PC pistols are present in this design and, when paired with the flat-shooting 10mm Auto cartridge, provide the end user a total package for hunting, self-defense, or at the range,” said John Myles, Senior Manager of New Products.MSRP is $749.SPECS: WIDTH: 1.3 in LENGTH: 8.6 in HEIGHT: 5.6 in WEIGHT: 31.4 oz NUMBER OF MAGAZINES: 2 CAPACITY: 15+1 10LB TRIGGER: NO SIGHTS: Night Sights THREADED BARREL: No GRIP POLYMER OPTIC READY: Yes THUMB SAFETY COLOR/FINISH BLACK STATE COMPLIANCE CO,DE,IL,OR,VT PERFORMANCE CENTER: Yes CALIBER: 10MM BARREL LENGTH: 5.6″ BARREL MATERIAL: Stainless Steel Ported barrel reduces muzzle flip and perceived recoil allowing for quick follow-up shots.
