Meet the Smith & Wesson SPEC SERIES V: M&P®9 METAL HD

Looking for a full-size 9mm that punches above its weight in both looks and performance? The new M&P9 METAL HD Spec Series V is more than just a tricked-out pistol—it’s a statement piece with the engineering to back it up. From its beefy steel frame to the Strike Industries compensator and limited-edition accessories, this is a shooter’s dream that feels right at home on the range or in your collection.

Built to Outperform: Metal, Muscle, and Modularity

This isn’t your average polymer M&P. The METAL HD Spec Series V steps it up with a full steel frame—tipping the scales at 2.31 lbs (36.96 oz) for rock-solid recoil control and quicker follow-up shots. That added weight, combined with a Strike Industries compensator, makes shooting feel almost like cheating—especially with the buttery-smooth flat-face aluminum trigger providing repeatable, precise breaks.

Oh, and it’s optic-ready with the CORE system. That means compatibility with multiple red dot patterns, plus a ClearSight™ cut to redirect gas away from your optic for uninterrupted sight picture under rapid fire.

Guy Walker helped found Gunprime to make it easier for people to find the firearms and gear they need without the usual headaches. He grew up around firearms, shooting his first machine guns at just 12 years old, and developed a deep love for Click to Expand

hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. He began selling firearms online in 2014 and became a licensed FFL dealer in 2017, taking a more official role in the industry as Gunprime grew. Today, he plays a hands-on role across the business, from listing and shipping to working directly with customers. As part of a family-run team, Guy wears a lot of hats, spending most of his time buying, listing, and selling guns. He credits much of what he’s learned to the people around him — the team he works with, the customers he serves, and the reps he builds lasting relationships with. A big part of what drew Guy into the firearms industry was the opportunity to work alongside his dad and learn from his experience — a connection that continues to shape the way he approaches business and customer relationships today. Through his writing, Guy’s goal is simple: to help readers make smarter, more confident decisions — and in doing so, earn their trust when it’s time to buy. By focusing on honest advice, practical insights, and real-world experience, he works to make the process of buying firearms easier, more transparent, and more approachable for everyone. Outside of work, he enjoys hunting, fishing, grilling wild game, and coaching youth sports.
