Need a 2.0 M & P .45
Can anyone direct to any dealers who might have a full size M&P 2.0 in .45acp? Have been scouring Gunbroker.com for a bit and seems like there are quite a few Shields in 45 but no new full sized models.
Thanks in advance and stay healthy!

I'm guessing this crazy price has been dictated only by higher demand and lack of the model's availability.
I've bought M&P22 and M&P9 at GunBroker recently for a regular prices.

Just a suggestion, don't pass on a 1.0. These can still be found at LGSs if you look and IMHO just as good, and in some ways better, than the 2.0 version. All my 1.0 M&P 45s flat out shoot, been utterly reliable, were easily Apexed, and my choice when it comes to a full size frame 45.

Agreed. I have both. Only change to the 1.0 is an Apex sear. At the range with a very experienced friend, had him shoot both without him looking at which one was which, and he actually preferred the 1.0 slightly. To me, shooting-wise, it's tough to tell them apart.
The M&P 45 1.0 had the worst factory trigger of anything I own, and I have Mosins and a Norinco SKS. S&W should have been ashamed of that trigger. The Apex sear just about made it a different gun.

Ditto on the 1.0 and APEX trigger kit. At least as the 1.0 9mm goes.
My wife has the 4.25” 1.0 9mm with the APEX Duty Trigger Kit and it makes it into a totally different gun. Neither of us like the aggressive texture on the grip of the 2.0.
I also want polymer frame 45 and the 1.0 is at the top of my list. Alas I fear I will never find one in the New World Order.

Thanks to everyone for their input. Looking like I'll be buying a M&P 9 full size as I have seen them for pretty good pricing and the very few .45's available appear to be several hundred dollars higher.

If I had to have just one, would snatch a 1.0 M&P 45C, apex it (including trigger-save some $$ and get the polymer), pick up a few 10 round mags w/ spacer, and look around for a FS slide. A 1.0 45C can easily be converted to a midsize and/or FS simply by swapping out mags, FS slide, or both. Don't get confused by the revised naming convention of the 2.0s.
Totally broke my heart the 2.0 M&P 45 did NOT retain the trigger bar loop. So glad I have four (4) M&P 45 1.0s.

Genuinely curious: why?

Lost the flexibility of adjusting where the sear breaks during the stroke. With a 2.0, it is what it is. Learned that the hard way when I bought a 2.0 M&P 9C.
