Previously we gave you an tabletop look at Smith & Wesson’s new M&P M2.0 Compact in 9mm. The latest offering updates the M&P line not only cosmetically, but also in features. Now it’s time to hit the range and see how the Compact performs. In the video below you’ll see our standard full-mag +1, multi-load test, and a five-shot group from seven yards to help formulate the opinions of two reviewers.

A third round is fired to test if that particular load generates enough energy to lock the slide to the rear on an empty magazine.
