FAQ

Will this fit my M&P 2.0 5″ barrel model?

Yes — the 5″ models use the same barrel length as full-size 1.0. Confirm your slide length matches 5″ before ordering.

Can I use this barrel without a suppressor?

Yes. The included thread protector covers the threads when not in use. No change in function or accuracy.

Does this barrel require a different recoil spring?

No — factory recoil spring works with this barrel in all standard M&P 9mm configurations. Compensator use may require lighter spring tuning.
