Aimed squarely at the very popular duty/carry crossover market, the downsized Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 Compact maintains the lines and features of the M2.0 family, but features a 4” barrel and 15-round capacity in 9-mm models.

To give us a first look at the new gun, world champion shooter Julie Golob paid a visit to the NRA range.
