Train as You Carry with the T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 Marker

Force-on-force training is an ideal way to ensure that you are ready for unexpected violence. For this reason, T4E (Train for Engagement) offers excellent training options like the new S&W M&P9 M2.0 Marker. Like T4E’s other models, the new training gun helps provide the most realistic training experience for close-quarters application.

The T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 Marker

Fully licensed by UMAREX with Smith & Wesson, the marker features identical ergonomics and controls as the M&P9 M2.0. As a result, you get the same feel and handling as the real pistol without compromising safety during training. Likewise, a live blowback action slide gives shooters recoil impulse to round out the realistic feel.

Chambered in .43 caliber, the paintball pistol uses common 12-gram CO2 cartridges. As a result, the marker can shoot paint, chalk (dust/powder balls), or reusable rubber ball projectiles at a velocity of 355 fps. This is enough to encourage you not to be on the receiving end.

Available in either all black or black with a blue slide, the officially licensed pistol fits most duty holsters and accepts most aftermarket accessories. It ships with a spare magazine spring for shooting rubber projectiles, a cleaning squeegee, and a swappable large backstrap. The entire kit comes in a protective plastic case, and additional magazines are available for purchase.

Editor’s Note:

If you carry a firearm, you may come up against a legitimate reason to use it. However unsavory that sounds. When that time comes, it isn’t going to be like it is on the range. It will be a dynamic engagement and could potentially involve close-quarters combat. For this reason, it is always important to train regularly for such encounters.

Even if you don’t regularly carry a S&W M&P9 M2.0, training with this platform is still more productive than no training at all. And who knows, you may decide you like the model enough to buy one and start carrying it.
