I am just hoping that mags and holsters are backward compatible or Smith and Wesson will have made a huge mistake that will probably adversely affect sales to 1.0 owners!

Armonite is the same finish on the M&P 15 sport II and the BG .380 and the Shield 45
Oh heck it's just their name for their nitride finish that's not new at all.

Yes, it's what used to be called Melonite, but for some reason they can't use that name anymore. It's the same as Tennifer on Glocks.

I miss the beavertail, but I think the new texture is nice. Never understood the texture below the trigger guard and I'm glad it's gone. It looks more like the SD9 now that the beavertail is gone.
Wondering if a 45 will follow..

I notice this morning that the 2.0 has disappeared from the Academy website.
Looks like someone at Academy...

It's not awful, but the styling is kind of "busy".
I prefer the looks of the old guns.

I'll buy your old M&Ps for 60% under what you paid!! Really, not seeing that much depreciation.
I'll have to admit that I'm not very impressed with the new look... and I guess we'll just have to wait to find out what all those visible changes and do-dads are going to do for us.
Keep in mind that I'm an "all-metal" gun kind of guy... so mere cosmetic changes to the plastic molds tend not to impress me. 
To be honest, I was hoping for so much more... a major redesign.
Regardless, it will be a long time before they are legal for dealers to sell in the People's Republic of Massachusetts. No need to add any of them to the acquisition "Possibilities List" anytime before 2018 at the earliest. 
Not a fan either..wondering what are those ports on the frame for, to cool off the RSA? maybe attach a light? looks weird. Beaver tail..gone why? It is suppose to have a new trigger maybe a PC trigger 
maybe a PC trigger

I hope that's actually the case. Often such things are cost cutting measures. The new metal treatment Glock uses is similar to, but inferior to Tenifer.

looks great! cant wait to get one
We were told they decided to get the equipment to start doing the nitriding process in-house, versus sending slides & barrels to a vendor (and paying to use a process with a trademarked name owned by someone else). It also allows them immediate control over the process and QC oversight.
This is the second name I've seen them use since we were told of their decision to start doing their own process. It's something they offer to other gun companies, too, like their forging and heat treat services.

I like the look of it. I also like the fact that they've done away with the beavertail. I wonder how long until they make it up here to Canuckistan. I just picked up a second M&P, a .40 to go with my 9, so I'm okay with a bit of a wait until they arrive.
