M&P M2.0

Got my hands on one yesterday and I like the feel over the 1.0.

9mm 2.0 will be my next purchase. Got to check one out at liberty ther other day, the new texture is much better and the trigger was nice.

Took mine back out to the range today and put another hundred rounds through it. The more I shoot it the more I like it. This thing is super accurate. Especially compared to the last original M&P I owned. Maybe I was just having a really good day behind the trigger this morning but I just couldn't miss with this thing. Every shot I squeezed off went right where it was supposed to go.

A coworker fired some rounds through it and was immediately impressed to the point that I am pretty sure he is going to go buy one. He shot it just as well as he was shooting his Glocks and his VP9 and he had never handled or fired it before today.

I'm thinking a 2.0 compact might find it's way into my safe when they start hitting the streets.

This is the gun that S&W should have released when they introduced the M&P.

Ongoing update on my impression of the M&P 2.0.

Had the chance to use it in an IDPA match last weekend. Really liking it more and more every time I shoot it. I'm not 100% sure but the aggressive grip texture might have been a minor issue once. Started one stage with the pistol loaded on a barrel in front of me and when I picked it up I didn't quite get the grip I wanted and that bad grip was kind of locked in until the reload. Kind of slowed me down a bit as I focused on shooting with a slightly awkward grip. Getting a good grip coming out of the holster worked like it should as the grip texture locked the good grip into my hand. Definitely needs some better sights soon but most factory handguns do anyways.

Thanks for the ongoing update Ray, I'm keeping my eye out for the compact 2.0, will likely be something I'm very interested in trying out (only to run back to carrying my Glock).

Just as I was making the switch to Glocks too.

Just as I was making the switch to Glocks too.

And all of my magazines dropped right out too.

The compact is coming.

Picked up a Compact 2.0 and have put 600 rounds through it. In factory trim, the trigger is barely an improvement over the old M&P. The stippling is great for shooting, but very abrasive for carry. The slide does not auto-forward like the old M&P does when you jam a mag in with force. Internally, the front frame tabs that guide the slide are much longer, and the sear actuation is slightly different than the old model where the trigger loop travels under the sear. Now, the trigger bar hits a lever attached to the side of the sear. I installed an Apex Sear and USB, along with Dawson sights. My old 9c has the same mods, and the Compact 2.0 shoots no better or worse than the 9c. However, there is virtually no creep in the 2.0 trigger with an Apex sear, while my old 9c has that slightly spongy feeling as the sear starts to move. For me, 2.0 Compact is much harder to conceal than the 9c, which reminds me why I didn't go with a G19 in the first place. I like the 2.0 Compact as an all around package, but by no means is the old 9c obsolete.

I don't believe this was ever designed as a "feature", Glocks will do it also, but in all my training I've been taught to use the hand over slide method, not jam the mag in so hard it causes the slide to release.
