Smith & Wesson M&P 10mm Carry Comp — SHOT Show 2026

The Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P 10mm M2.0 Carry Comp pairs full‑power 10mm with an integrated compensator and optic‑ready slide to tame recoil in a duty‑sized package.

Smith & Wesson continues expanding its Carry Comp lineup with a full‑size 10mm built around control rather than outright concealability. The M&P 10mm M2.0 Carry Comp uses the company’s Performance Center‑tuned approach to soften the recoil and muzzle rise common with the cartridge.

At the core of the design is a 4‑inch stainless steel barrel with a PowerPort at the twelve‑o’clock position. As the gun fires, gas vents upward to counter muzzle rise, helping the pistol return to target faster. Smith & Wesson integrates the porting into both the barrel and slide, keeping the profile clean.

Smith & Wesson pairs the Carry Comp with its ClearSight optics cut, shaped to divert gases away from a mounted optic. That matters more on a ported gun, where debris and carbon can obscure a red dot under sustained fire.

Iron sights remain usable out of the box. The pistol ships with an Ameriglo Trooper front night sight and a blacked‑out, serrated U‑notch rear, providing a clear sight picture with or without an optic installed.

The pistol uses the M&P M2.0 frame with an 18‑degree grip angle and four interchangeable palmswell inserts. That flexibility matters in a 10mm, where grip fit directly affects control.

Smith & Wesson includes a flat‑face trigger, tuned by the Performance Center for repeatable finger placement and a consistent break. The striker‑fired system remains familiar to M&P users, even as recoil forces increase.

At 27 ounces, the Carry Comp sits lighter than many steel‑framed 10mm pistols while maintaining full‑size shootability. The pistol feeds from 15‑round magazines and ships with two, putting it squarely in duty, home‑defense, and backcountry‑carry territory rather than concealed carry.

With the compensator handling a portion of the recoil impulse, shooters can run higher‑energy 10mm loads with less disruption to sight tracking. That control advantage sets the Carry Comp apart from standard, uncompensated M&P 10mm models.

Smith & Wesson doesn’t market the Carry Comp as a race gun. Instead, it applies a modest amount of porting, an optic‑ready slide, and a tuned trigger to make 10mm more practical for real‑world use.

For shooters who want the benefits of 10mm Auto without accepting all of its recoil penalties, the Performance Center M&P 10mm M2.0 Carry Comp strikes a deliberate balance.
