If you’re looking for a 9mm handgun you can count on for self-defense, or a reliable pistol for shooting practice, the Smith & Wesson M&P9 is a good starting point. Many Montanans choose the M&P series for its consistent performance and reasonable price. It’s sized well for concealed carry, but substantial enough for confident handling.
What to Expect from the M&P9
The M&P9 is a striker-fired, polymer-framed pistol chambered in 9mm Luger. The stainless steel slide and barrel provide good corrosion resistance, important for Montana’s varied weather conditions. It’s a double-action only pistol, meaning the trigger pull is consistent for every shot. It comes standard with a 17-round magazine.

- Action: Double Action Only
- Caliber: 9mm Luger (9×19 Parabellum)
- Capacity: 17 Rounds
- Barrel Length: 4.0 inches
