This used Smith & Wesson M&P9C, serial HRV4287, is a compact striker-fired 9mm from modern production with a 3.6-inch barrel. The bore is bright and the rifling strong, and the pistol rates very good condition overall. It is sold as a working handgun rather than a collector piece.

A compact 9mm of this size is what many New Mexico buyers want for concealed carry or a nightstand gun. The state asks for no purchase permit and keeps no registry; the dealer runs the federal NICS check, and the seven-calendar-day wait applies unless you hold a valid New Mexico concealed handgun license, in which case you can take it home as soon as the check clears. Everyone shows photo ID and completes Form 4473 at the counter, and handgun buyers must be 21.
