S&W M&P 2.0

[Hokie_PhD]

The 2.0 is very nice. I checked out a couple at two stores. I really really want one!

I finally ordered one tonight. I put 250 rounds through the demo at my local range, just a hard gun not to enjoy, they really did a nice job with it. I ordered the FDE 5" model, bu think I'll have the standard one soon too.

Getting one soon for work, with factory night-sights. Will try to do a review and comparison with the standard version.

I purchased one last weekend at a gun show for 439.00, and finally got a chance to shoot it a couple days ago. I already had the pro model M&P, and think it was a good all around gun. On the pro, I did the Apex stuff and replaced the rear sight to put dots there, but it has been very reliable and accurate. The 2.0 is lacking for nothing as far as I am concerned. It uses the same mags as earlier models, fits the same holsters, etc...
I only shot the 2.0 at 7 yds., but accuracy was great and like they are advertising it is very adept at handling rapid fire action. I set out some 6" targets to bang away on and shot some good 2" groups doing offhand rapid fire stuff, just playing around. The sights were in need of a slight adjustment, so it shot a couple inches to the left, but I have since addressed that minor problem with a small drift of the front sight.
As I was packing up stuff to leave the range, I still had 2 loaded mags, so standing I rapid fired 34 rounds into one of the targets and tore a 2" hole on the left side.
I have to say I would recommend the pistol to anyone. I personally like the more aggressive stippling which keeps everything in alignment with no shifting in your hand between shots. It is not uncomfortable to shoot and is a definite improvement over the older models. I own an array of other handguns and have shot a lot of different guns over the years..but I could find nothing lacking in this pistol other than the slight sight adjustment.

I don't see the old model on their website anymore, I guess that means it is discontinued. I might have to go out and buy one before all the new ones disappear. The M2.0 has a serious case of the uglies. Not sure what the two indentations above the accessories rail are for. I was a fan of the beaver tail on the old model. I've wanted an M&P for quite a while but just never got around to buying one.

They may in fact be discontinued, and S&W's website it not easy to navigate, but the original M&P can still can be found on the S&W website.

Edit to add: The old M&P's still on the site may be the odd versions required by specific states, such as mag safety equipped versions or the odd trigger's required by some states such as Massachusetts.

If only they would offer it in 10mm, then I could ditch my G20. Oh well.

I own a new Mod 2 FDE 5" with thumb safety.

I was lucky enough to get it the week it was announced.

I've put about 350 rounds through it w/o a single burp.

I like everything about it better than my mod 1 - that I've had for years.
