FAXON MATCH SERIES FLAME FLUTED® THREADED BARREL FOR M&P® 2.0 COMPACT 9MM
FaxonFaxon Match Series Flame Fluted® Threaded 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® Threaded Barrel for M&P® 2.0 Compact combines match-grade accuracy, patented lightweight design, and suppressor-ready versatility in a compact drop-in upgrade. Featuring the signature Flame Fluted® profile for reduced weight and superior heat dissipation, a threaded muzzle for compensators or suppressors, and a durable salt bath nitride finish inside and out, this barrel is ideal for concealed carry, competition, duty, or custom M&P 2.0 Compact builds where precision and performance are paramount.

Honestly the best barrels I’ve used at this price.
I’ve used tons of brands of barrels and bcg’s throughout the years. And Faxon has won my loyalty in the end. I’ve slowly been pulling all of my blacklist, cmmg, GGP, and other barrels out and replacing them with Faxon. The prices are great. The quality is amazing. The performance is clean, consistent and quality. And the military discount is highly appreciated. I now own the sig, M&p 2.0, Glock, .308, .300 blackout and 5.56 barrels. And will keep building using Faxon products.

M&P 2.0 Barrel
Fit like a glove! Could not believe how snug it is. Brought my shot group down to the size of a quarter.
