Bought a new M&P 2.0 PC 10mm - any suggestions?

[ViperVette]

I just bought a new 10mm M&P 2.0 Performance Center that should be here in a few days. I have a few other 10mm's (Sig, FN, &Glock) and love the cartridge.

This is my first Smith semi auto so I'm excited about it. I'm very familiar with the revolvers and have a 629 PC 8 3/8" currently and am considering a 686 Plus.

Any suggestions or thoughts from you who have experience with this gun? I can't wait to get it.

Thanks!
Steve

People generally are not in favor of the plastic optic mounting plates that come with most M&Ps. Some go aftermarket, others have stated that a call to S&W customer service got them a complimentary metal optics plate (LE box guns still come with metal plates).

Thanks Beju. Good to know.

Just another data point, I got a new full-size 2.0 in February. I had read the same thing Beju said. I called S&W saying my #5 plate had mushroomed posts and asked if I could buy a metal #5 plate. The rep said metal plates were not available, but he sent me a new plastic plate.

I don't know if it was just the rep I talked to or if they truly are no longer available? It's probably still worth a try. Please report back if you have any luck.

Will do.
