The carry comp series was just released by Smith & Wesson. If you have not heard or are not in the loop as to what a Carry Comp is: It’s a compensated pistol that is integrated into the slide and barrel, normally you are adding a threaded barrel and a compensator. This old way would add length and weight to your firearm, now it takes your regular setup and makes it lighter by doing it all in the one system. Why? well, adding a comp you are now venting gas u against the recoil through a cut into the pistol’s slide and barrel near the muzzle. In addition to the integrated comp setup, they have added some lightening cuts and more slide serrations to get a good updated look.
The Carry Comp series will be available for 9mm across three different frame sizes; full-size, compact, and micro-compact. The full-size Carry Comp is represented with S&W’s M&P9 Metal frame, the compact Carry Comp frame is polymer, as is the micro-compact from the M&P Shield Plus line.
Here is what Smith had to say about it: ” Whether you’re looking for a new everyday carry, home defense, or training pistol, this new series has you covered. Built across full-size, compact, and micro-compact frames, Carry Comp Series pistols are chambered in 9mm and come in a variety of capacities. The Shield Plus 4-inch barrel model ships with 10-round, 13-round, and 15-round magazines that allow the user to choose their preferred combination of size and capacity, making it a versatile personal defense carry option. The M&P 2.0 4.22-inch barrel models are offered in metal and polymer frame configurations, come in a 15-round or 17-round capacity depending on your frame-size of choice, and are trusted platforms for any training or personal defense application
The M&P9 Carry Comp Series was developed with key features to improve the overall shooting experience of the user. The strategically designed Power Port™, located at the end of the barrel at the twelve o’clock position, diverts gas upwards, reducing felt recoil, which improves overall control. With optics-ready slides, if a user chooses to utilize a red dot, the new ClearSight™ Cut is designed to divert gasses away from the optic allowing the user to maintain an unobstructed view. If iron sights are preferred, these models also include a tritium front night sight and blacked-out serrated rear sight out of the box for an enhanced sight picture. Boasting a new aesthetic, M&P9 Carry Comp slides were developed with aggressively angled front and rear serrations to increase reliability and improve manipulation against tougher elements. All new Carry Comp models include flat-face trigger designs, grey Armornite© finished slides, and ship with a Performance Center Cleaning Kit.“
