Smith & Wesson M&P9c 9mm – First-Gen Compact, No Thumb Safety, 3.5” Barrel
The first-generation Smith & Wesson M&P9c combines easy-to-carry dimensions with full-featured controls. This compact, striker-fired 9mm drops the manual thumb safety for a clean draw and simple manual of arms, while retaining the rugged Melonite-finished slide, stainless 3.5-inch barrel, and modular grip system that made the original series a standout.

This M&P9c is a true first-generation example, verified by its DTN serial prefix and the absence of a thumb safety. A stainless-steel internal chassis reinforces the glass-filled polymer frame, delivering rigidity and long-term durability without extra weight.
The 3.5-inch stainless barrel pairs with a Melonite-coated slide featuring rear fish-scale serrations for confident manipulation. Steel dovetail sights place a white-dot front blade against a low-profile plain rear notch for a crisp sight picture.
Controls are carry-friendly yet versatile: ambidextrous slide-stop levers, a reversible magazine release, and a hinged trigger safety with accompanying sear-deactivation lever and loaded-chamber witness hole.
Interchangeable backstraps tailor the grip to the shooter, while a single-slot Picatinny rail ahead of the trigger guard accepts compact lights or lasers. With a 12+1 capacity in a compact footprint, this M&P9c remains a proven choice for concealed carry or range use.
