FaxonFaxon Match Series Flame Fluted® Barrel for M&P® Full Size Gen 1/2 9mm Nitride

Better-than-factory tolerances ensure a consistent, tighter lockup than OEM.

M&P Fluted Barrel
Barrel looks nice and quality work on the fluting but don’t expect better accuracy from your m&p. Shoots 6-7” at 25 yards just as my stock barrel did.
