Aluminum Frame M&P9 M2.0

[Charlie Foxtrot]

The S&W website has an aluminum frame M&P9 M2.0. Anyone have any experience or additional information on this?

If real it's to early to waste time over worrying about . The SKU: 13184 searched on s&w site or else where turns up no info ! I would want an alloy frame verion like I would a p320 version - no interest.

Interesting…

I couldn’t find anything about it searching the web. It may be a new product that’s still in the works.

Interesting. I guess it’s for old timers who complain about plastic guns.

Nothing wrong with being an old timer or metal guns. I don’t complain about plastic guns and own 2 but would definitely be interested in a Shield plus in metal if one came out.

If presented with an MP9 in metal or plastic, I’d pick metal. But I’m not likely to switch to metal at this juncture.

M&P Metal Frame!??

I see that S&W added a metal framed M&P to their lineup. Details are here: M&P M2.0 | Smith & Wesson.

What do you think? I kinda want one! I really like my M&P Compact 2.0 3.6, and I like metal framed pistols. What’s not to love?

I found it here:

M&P M2.0 | Smith & Wesson. Go through the build to get the sku.

I must be getting old! I remember being skeptical about a polymer framed pistol. Now, I'm wondering what is the benefit of of an aluminum frame over polymer?

A review is already up on YouTube: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEBkBOtfiqc"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEBkBOtfiqc[/ame]

I think this is great! A lot of people have been asking for an all metal pistol for a long time now. I left the M&P platform some years ago but after they finally updated the trigger and now this, it's definitely got me contemplating picking one up. Will have to feel one in the hand first, but I really like what I am seeing so far.

Looks like there is a CSX in the woodpile.

I will just labor along with my old 1.0

Looking at the picture, there is a trigger stop pad which might be a real help.

I like the idea. Great job S&W.

Sig Sauer has been selling aluminum grip modules for their P320s for years now. Why let Sig have all the fun?

I hope S&W expands this to cover other models too.

For $900, I'd expect some hands-on personal instruction from Miss Flannel in that video.

My reluctance is mostly that I've never found a 9mm that I actually "like." They're all just boring tools that seem less accurate than they should be. In .45ACP, .38/357, .22LR, I have guns that I really like and are rewarding to shoot.

While I have many plastic fantastic striker guns, I’ve always preferred metal guns. Consider me old school I guess.

Am glad S&W is offering this option & think how it’s kitted out is a winner. Wish they offered it earlier & I may have considered it. For now, I’ll soldier on with my striker fired M&Pv1, SIG P320, CZ P10.

I would like a manual safety option, and that may come- but that’s my preference.

I agree this is targeted to the Sig P320 metal frame- and at its price point will be competitive IMO.

I saw the YouTube review- and am looking forward to seeing the more detailed reviews by others

Interesting.... first they tell us plastic is the greatest thing ever, just so that a few years later they go back to metal and say "hey, look, this is the greatest thing ever!"

Anyway, here it is:

And I quote from the video:

"The metal frame provides less flex when firing, which is an added advantage for achieving tighter groups and higher levels of accuracy."

So then why did we go to plastic in first place? This world is getting dumber by the day now...

 

[Pisgah]

I guess I am the only person who saw this coming when they unveiled the CSX ...

 

[IAM Rand]

I am down with going backward on this. Kinda tired of plastic. Give me a good hunk of metal any day.

Cost savings and weight savings.
