Smith and Wesson M&P45 Compact 8-rd Magazine

M&P45 Compact Magazine

This is a factory Smith & Wesson magazine for the M&P45 Compact pistol, holding eight rounds of .45 ACP. It suits owners who want a spare for the range, a backup for carry, or a replacement for a worn original. Because it comes from the pistol's own maker, you don't have to wonder about fit with an aftermarket copy.

Features

• 8-Round Capacity — Holds eight cartridges, sized to match the shorter grip of the M&P45 Compact.
• .45 ACP Chambering — The body is stamped "45 AUTO," another name for .45 ACP, the cartridge this pistol fires.
• Smith & Wesson Factory Part — The S&W logo is stamped into the side of the tube, marking it as the manufacturer's own magazine.
• Silver-Finish Steel Body — The tube has a bright silver finish, and the feed lips at the top are formed from the same metal.
• Black Polymer Follower — The follower, the platform the spring pushes up under the rounds, is black polymer and sits visibly between the feed lips.
• Polymer Base Pad — A black polymer floorplate closes the bottom of the magazine and gives your palm a flat surface to seat it firmly.
• Magazine Catch Cutout — An oblong slot in the side of the tube is where the pistol's magazine release engages to lock the magazine in place.

Fit and Construction

The magazine is built for the Smith & Wesson M&P45 Compact, and the angled steel tube follows the profile of that pistol's grip. Markings for the calibre and the S&W logo are stamped directly into the metal, so they won't wear off like a printed label. Check your pistol's model before ordering, since full-size and compact M&P45 frames take different magazine lengths.
