WHY THIS SKU AND NOT THE ORIGINAL M&P9 M2.0. Smith & Wesson still serves the plain non-optics M&P9 M2.0 page (SKU 11521, 4.25 in, 17 rounds) but titles it "[DISCONTINUED] M&P9 M2.0" and files it under a brand value that reads DISCONTINUED; so are its thumb-safety, 15-round, 10-round, compliant, FDE and threaded-barrel siblings (11524, 11758, 11761, 11763, 11537, 11770). The only current full-size 4.25 in listings are the optics-ready 13564 and its thumb-safety twin 13567, so the optics-ready page is recorded as the base record — the same reasoning as the MOS rule (decision 2026-08-11), where a maker lists the current configuration only with an optic cut. Nothing from the discontinued 11521 page was carried across, and it would not have been safe to: that page gives 27.8 oz and a 5.5 in height where 13564's page gives 29 oz and 5.7 in. Separate listings under the base-model rule: 13567 (thumb safety), the 4.22 in "Optic Ready 15RD" SKUs 14913 and 14914, which carry a different barrel length and a 2026 spec sheet, the threaded-barrel, FDE and PVD colours, the CA-compliant and 10-round configurations, the Metal and Metal HD models, the Compact series, the Performance Center and law-enforcement-only listings, the bundles and the training pistols. OVERALL HEIGHT IS DELIBERATELY UNSET, BECAUSE SMITH & WESSON GIVES THREE DIFFERENT FIGURES. The spec sheet's Overall Height row reads "5.5˝ (12.7 cm)", and those two halves do not reconcile: 5.5 in is about 14.0 cm, and 12.7 cm is 5.0 in. The product page's dimensions block, on the same SKU, reads HEIGHT 5.7 in. Every other paired figure on the sheet was checked and reconciles — 4.25 in / 10.8 cm, 1.16 in / 2.9 cm, 7.4 in / 18.8 cm, 6.5 in / 16.5 cm and 29 oz / 822 g — so the defect is confined to that one row. It is worth noting, without drawing a conclusion from it, that 5.5 in is exactly the height the discontinued non-optics 11521 page publishes. No document breaks the tie: the owner's manual linked from the listing has no specification table, and the dimensions row renders under one footnote, so a page-only figure cannot be spliced into a row whose length comes from the sheet. An unresolvable conflict produces a gap plus an explanation, the HK USP Compact rule. OVERALL WIDTH IS UNSET TOO. The sheet's 1.16 in / 2.9 cm row is labelled "Frame Width: (Less Controls)" — one row with a two-line label, not a separate less-controls figure as on the Shield Plus sheet — and a frame width measured without the controls is not an overall width, the Springfield "Grip Width" and Shield Plus call. The product page labels the same 1.16 in plainly "WIDTH"; the document whose purpose is specification governs, so the dimensions row names both missing axes. WEIGHT sits in weightUnloaded: "29 oz. (822 g)" with no magazine basis stated, and the product page repeats 29 oz. ACTION. The sheet's Action row reads "Striker-Fired", which states the ignition, so ignition is striker-fired. Trigger action and operating system are unset because nothing states them: the owner's manual says only that "each shot will be fired in the striker fire action mode", which is the ignition again, and it contains no operating-principle statement (no "recoil operated", "short recoil" or "locked breech"). Frame class is transcription: the sheet publishes "Frame Size: Full Size", the directory's own word. SLIDE FINISH follows the sheet's own Slide Finish row, "Matte Black"; the Slide Material row separately reads "Stainless Steel with Armornite® Finish", as does the barrel, and the specific row is the one recorded. Capacity is 17 with two 17-round magazines included; the 15- and 10-round configurations are separate SKUs, so no optional capacity is recorded. YEAR INTRODUCED IS UNRECORDED. Smith & Wesson's archived launch release, "Smith & Wesson Unveils the M&P M2.0 Pistol", announces the platform but its body is undated ("Last week Smith & Wesson Corp. announced the debut"), and its two internal posting stamps disagree — "Post. 2/11/16" on page 1 and "Post. 1/12/17" on page 2. Its HTML wrapper page carries only a CMS "Submitted" timestamp. Even a clean date would have dated the M2.0 line rather than this later optics-ready SKU, the Ruger LCP MAX lesson; the listing's own date_created (2022-12-08) is a storefront timestamp. Family is unset: Smith & Wesson files this listing under the series "M&P 2.0 FULL SIZE Series", which is a real maker series name but is not in the directory's Family union, and adding a value is a user decision. THE WARRANTY IS TWO POLICIES, recorded as on the Shield Plus: a one-year warranty on defects notified in writing, then a separate Lifetime Service Policy with its registration condition and exclusions. Also published and unrecorded for want of a schema field: 1:10 right-hand rifling with five lands and grooves, a 6.5 in sight radius, a stainless barrel and slide in Armornite, a polymer frame over an embedded stainless chassis, an 18-degree grip angle, the $699 price the listing carried, and a state-compliance flag that reads DE.
