The new M&P 10mm pistols will be available in both 4-inch and 4.6-inch barreled configurations with optics-ready slides and optional thumb safety variants.
Additionally, the pistols boast an impressive 15+1 capacity and use the brand new Smith & Wesson M2.0 flat face trigger design. Smith states this is designed to optimize trigger finger placement to allow for more consistent and accurate shooting.
All new M&P 10mm models include an optics cut slide using Smith’s C.O.R.E system and have optic/suppressor height white dot sights in addition to the optics plate.
From Smith & Wesson
Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, today unveiled the latest expansion in its M&P M2.0 line of handguns. The new standard 10mm comes with enhanced features like an optics cut slide with the C.O.R.E.™ system that enables users to mount a variety of popular optics. This handgun is designed to carry an impressive 15 + 1 capacity, ships with two magazines, and, reflecting the needs of the consumer, features Smith & Wesson’s brand new M2.0 flat face trigger design, which is designed to optimize trigger finger placement to allow for more consistent and accurate shooting.
John Myles, Smith & Wesson’s Senior New Product Manager, said, "Having not made a 10mm semi-automatic handgun since the 1990s, it’s a pleasure to re-enter that space with the M&P 10mm M2.0 pistol. The 10mm caliber has its own following, and our customers have been asking us to bring one back. We are excited to launch this product using the M&P45 M2.0 as a building block to support existing aftermarket accessories that are readily available, as well as adding new enhanced features like the optics ready slide and the new M2.0 flat face trigger."
