Hey guys.
Had a chance to head to the range on Saturday and try out both of my new M2.0s in 9mm. I ordered both the 4.25 with no safety and then 5 FDE with the manual safety. To start off - man these guns shoot smooth. Recoil is little to none. Muzzle rise is minimal. The stippling is great and it stays put in your hands.
I wanted to share some thoughts for those who might be comparing the two models and which one to get. Obviously they are the same pistol, but one thing I noticed was that the 5 FDE model with the manual safety has a grittier trigger. To me it was very noticeable between the 4.25 without the safety vs. the 5 with the safety. Anyone notice this who has had the opportunity to fire both? It would make sense this is the case, and I plan to remove the safety on the 5 and get some plugs from S&W.
After running 200 rounds of Blazer through each, I only had two issues. The 4.25 ran flawless without a single hiccup. The 5 had one failure to feed. And then for some reason, the slide was not locking back once the last shot was fired. I experienced this problem probably two or three times with two different mags. I didn't clean either before I took them to the range - they were just straight out of the box. I am going to give them a good cleaning and then go back to the range this weekend and report back. I would be interested if anyone else is having that issue though. Overall very pleased with both and I love the way the 5 FDE model looks. Accuracy is great, although I only went out to 10 yards at the range so far.
