Smith & Wesson Corp. has announced the newest addition to its growing line of M&P M2.0 pistols with the new M&P45 M2.0 in a Flat Dark Earth (FDE) finish. Chambered in .45 Auto, the M&P45 M2.0 pistol joins the previously released M&P9 and M&P40 M2.0 Flat Dark Earth pistols with TruGlo TFX sights in the M&P M2.0 pistol line. The pistol features a 4.6” barrel, no thumb safety, and ships with TruGlo TFX sights for enhanced visibility in a variety of conditions. This is the first M2.0 pistol in a FDE finish that is chambered in the popular .45 Auto caliber.

The M&P45 M2.0 delivers a rugged, striker-fired pistol that features the popular M2.0 enhancements, including the new M2.0 crisp, lighter trigger and aggressive grip texturing. The pistol ships standard with TruGlo TFX sights, which feature encapsulated Tritium and Fiber Optic technology for enhanced visibility during both daytime and nighttime conditions. Delivering customary M2.0 reliability, the M&P45 M2.0 in FDE also includes a solid, molded polymer frame designed for comfort and durability, a Cerakote FDE slide for enhanced corrosion resistance, four interchangeable palmswell grips, and an 18-degree grip angle for a natural point of aim. MSRP is $699 with a one-year limited warranty and lifetime service policy.
