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.

    M&p 2.0 Barrel

    Posted by Corey Prickett on Jul 25th 2024

    Even though it says this barrel is not a drop in fit for the newer 2.0 optics ready models, I decided to find out for myself. Story short, it dropped right in, just buy it.

    Drop In Barrel

    Posted by Rich on Feb 22nd 2024

    Wanted to upgrade my factory barrel for a while. Some reviews said did not fit totally as a drop in barrel. But mine dropped in just fine. Could tell the barrel fit tighter inside the slide some. It does appear to help with more accurate grouped shot placement.

    I love this barrel. I had to massage it a little, but it runs smooth as silk now, and actually transformed the feel of the gun.
