I was going to post today asking about model numbers, as I couldn't detect a pattern, no rhyme nor reason, but a search brought me here first. IMO opinion this thread should be stickied. The preceding "6" in model numbers meaning stainless steel is definitely interesting!

My 2.0 45ACP Compact (4" barrel) was my first semi handgun that I ever bought. It has the safety, which I liked being new to the semiauto platform at the time. I have noticed that nearly no holster mfg on earth actually specifically lists the 2.0 45C. I think holster-wise it'd be the same...

Wow.. that's a mess to keep track of, isn't it? I also have a bit of an oddball pistol, being that it's a 45acp version of the MP 2.0 Compact. (4" barrel). Most 3rd party mfgs act like it still doesn't exist; in every drop down box, when looking for a holster or other part, it'll list the 9mm...

Id's say a bit of both, and maybe an unknown 3rd factor. Wholesale prices have definitely risen due to covid complications and unprecedented demand, a perfect storm for a supply and demand market economy. That said, however, we still see great disparity between certain dealers, which suggests...

sigh I just blew $30 on nothing then. The guy's main description at the top of the page said nothing about full size or compact, I caught that only a few pages below, and he doesn't do returns. I already got the shipping notice. Well, thanks guys, now I know not to get my hopes up. I guess...

I have a PSA-15, myself, but I've only heard good things about the MP-15 Sport II, both are great for entry level ARs. You can find many reviews on YouTube, The Sport II hold up to torture tests quite well and it an excellent rifle for its class. I would have been perfectly happy getting a...

What happens when you're out somewhere though, and you don't have it with you? Then you're back to loading by hand; much easier with a broken-in mag.

On the M&P 2.0s, are backstraps interchangeable between full size and compact (4" barrel size) frames? I was happy to find some Flat Dark Earth backstraps on eBay only to realize later that it said "full size", and saw other listings for "compact" (but wrong color). I thought the frames were...

It's more a matter of a cycle of compression and decompression, compression alone won't quite do it. To loosen up the spring, it's got to get worked back and forth. Invest in a really good mag loader like the UPlula, and use it to just load mags, unload mags, load mags, unload mags. (Fun times...
