Smith and Wesson 13977 Response 9mm Luger 16.5in 10+1 Black Oxide Polymer Optic Ready

The Smith & Wesson 13977 Response NJ Compliant 9mm Luger is a pistol caliber carbine in the Response series that brings MSR ergonomics and practical range utility to shooters entering the PCC market, featuring a 16.50" stainless steel barrel with 1:10" twist and a black oxide finish that mates to a lightweight polymer receiver and a 33.75" overall length for easy handling; the innovative FlexMag system accepts a wide range of double-stack 9mm magazines from Smith & Wesson and other manufacturers, giving you magazine compatibility for training, competition, or patrol-style shooting, while the M-LOK handguard lets you mount lights, rails or accessories to tailor the platform to your needs. The optic-ready upper removes the guesswork when mounting red dots or micro-holos, and the ambidextrous lever safety and MSR-style controls make transitions intuitive for pistol shooters moving to a carbine format. With a fixed stock, 10+1 capacity to meet NJ compliance, a 5.90 lb weight for manageable recoil, and a clean, semi-auto operation, the Response serves well for range practice, PCC matches, and duty or home defense applications; transfer requires FFL.
