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

By Robert Farago

Not to be outdone by GLOCK’s MOS (Modular Optic System) models, Smith & Wesson is releasing a couple of new 9mm handguns with threaded barrels. Smith already offers a can-ready M&P22 and a dual-barreled M&P9 that allow you save your ears. Now they’ve gone up-market with the new Performance Center M&P Ported and the Performance Center M&P C.O.R.E. pistols. Notice the words “Performance Center”? We’re talking big bucks. Threadedness adds $175 (for a pattern of ½”-28-2A) to guns that already retail for over $800 and $750, respectively. Worth it? You tell me. Or your local gun store. Full press release after the jump . . .

Springfield, MA -(AmmoLand.com)- Smith & Wesson Corp. today announced that it is adding greater versatility to its premier line of M&P pistols by offering two new versions of the M&P with an additional threaded barrel included in the box.

The new 9mm variants, which include the Performance Center M&P Ported and the Performance Center M&P C.O.R.E. (Competition Optics Ready Equipment), allow owners the ability to easily attach a sound suppressor of his or her choice without the use of additional tools.
