Faxon
Faxon Match Series Flame Fluted® Barrel for M&P® 2.0 Compact 9mm Nitride
Faxon’s Match Series pistol barrels for Smith and Wesson/M&P are machined 100% in-house from stress-relieved 416-R stainless steel. These barrels are then given a black Nitride or PVD coating to increase lubricity, barrel life, and resistance to surface wear. All barrels are conventionally rifled to allow a wider range of ammunition to be used, including cast lead. The barrels drop into factory-spec slides with no gunsmithing required. Better-than-factory tolerances ensure a consistent, tighter lockup than OEM.
The Faxon Match Series Flame Fluted® Barrel for M&P® 2.0 Compact combines match-grade accuracy, patented lightweight design, and exceptional performance in a compact drop-in upgrade. Featuring the signature Flame Fluted® profile for reduced weight and superior heat dissipation, along with a durable salt bath nitride finish inside and out, this non-threaded barrel is ideal for concealed carry, competition, duty, or custom M&P 2.0 Compact builds where precision and reliability are paramount.
