S&W announces M&P 9's; Performance Center suppressor ready

[Roccaas]

New from Smith & Wesson: Suppressor-Ready Performance Center M&P Ported and Performance Center M&P C.O.R.E. (Competition Optics Ready Equipment) - The Truth About Guns

will it fit in the idpa box?

Why 4.25" only?


The IDPA rulebook says 8.75" x 6" x 1.625". The M&P9L will fit that so the FS should fit with the threaded barrel.

Wouldn't a ported barrel defeat the purpose or reduce the effectiveness of a supressor? Seems kind of like the two things don't belong together.

That is a confusing title

The ported pistol and the suppressor ready pistol are two different firearms.

BTW, these are not new. Both were debuted at SHOT back in January and posted here on the Forum that week

"...with an additional threaded barrel included in the box."

Both come with two barrels. For the ported version the ported barrel is not threaded and the threaded barrel is not ported.
