Building off of an already established and proven line, Smith & Wesson took the 4”-barreled M&P9 M2.0 Compact and made the already concealable pistol even more easy to carry with its 3.6” Compact, the subject of this week’s review. Like all M2.0 pistols, the 3.6” Compact features the aggressive texturing and customizable grip panels of its predecessors—and four differently sized modules are supplied with each gun. The pistol features steel combat sights in a three-dot configuration. Bilateral slide release levers and a reversible magazine release button make the pistol accommodating of both left-and right-hand shooters. Check out our NRA Gun of the Week video to learn more about that Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 3.6” Compact pistol.
