Smith & Wesson has announced today the release of the M&P9 Metal HD – Spec Series V, the newest addition to the Spec Series lineup.

The fifth iteration of the manufacturer’s Spec Series family is a first of its kind. The striker-fired 9 mm pistol has a 23-round capacity, and utilizes a newly designed aluminum trigger to enable more consistent and accurate shooting.

Weighing in at 2.31 lbs. (without a magazine), the M&P9 Metal HD features a steel frame construction with enhanced texturing, a steel magwell, and a steel optics plate that increase overall weight and help reduce felt recoil. Its 4.8” threaded barrel, controls, and magwell all display a sharp blue PVD finish, and it is equipped with a Strike Industries compensator to mitigate muzzle rise and improve control.'

Smith & Wesson says its polymer M&P handguns have been widely recognized for their ergonomics and reliability. “We took these trusted attributes and integrated them into a steel platform to help mitigate felt-coil, allowing users to keep their pistol running flat and fast,” said Corey Beaudreau, product manager, adding, “This new Spec Series offers an advantage in today’s dynamic shooting environments while delivering a premium look and feel.”

The M&P9 Metal HD ships with tall C.O.R.E. green night sights out of the box and includes an optics-ready slide for easy addition of a red-dot. Additional features include three 23-round magazines, a Limited-Edition Spec Series Coin and Knife, and a hard carry case.
