The Smith & Wesson Response 9mm carbine is a functional and reliable firearm after extensive testing, though it suffers from a rough action and significant gas blowback. While its lightweight design and interchangeable FLEXMAG system (Glock compatible) are positives, the overall build quality and smoothness of operation are criticized, especially considering its price point. It's deemed suitable for basic use but lacks refinement for experienced shooters.
The Smith & Wesson Response 9mm PCC offers significant modularity with its Flexmag system, allowing easy swapping between S&W M&P and Glock magazines. It features a lightweight polymer construction, an M&P-style grip, and a 4.75lb flat-faced trigger. Accuracy testing at 25 yards showed tight groups, and the carbine demonstrated reliable cycling with soft recoil.
