Aluminum Frame M&P9 M2.0

[beefstews]

Saw a YouTube review and they mentioned that the new metal frame is only 2 ounces heavier than the polymer version. I was actually hoping the metal one would weigh significantly more than the polymer.

Hoping the 2.0 10mm comes in a metal frame at some point as well.

And .40 caliber.

And .40 caliber.

add a 10mm & 45.........

 

[cigarman454]

i hope they do the 10mm as well

I cannot get the Smith configurator to give me an alloy frame option. That might be a function of how locked down I run my computers, of course.

The weight difference is minimal, but I wonder if there is a change in the weight distribution.

I don't think you can build one as there's only 1 SKU in the 'metal' series. 13194

I think it's great that they offer the option. As long as they're adding choices and not removing them, I'm all for it. The all-metal people get their guns, and the plastic people get their guns...I'm not seeing the problem here.

Personally, I prefer polymer frames. My wife and I really love our 3.6 Compacts, but it's awesome that the people who don't share the enthusiasm for plastic have an option now to enjoy these well-made pistols.

There is a generation of shooters now that pretty much know nothing other than polymer striker-fired guns.

and John Moses Browning is simply disgusted.

I know us JMB fans would like to believe this. But he was an innovator. He likely would have embraced new technology. May have even been the first to try polymer had it been available to him.

looks ugly. the m&p 2.0 looks good because they melt all the edges. this one looks like an ugly turkish produced gun with straight corners and random cuts into the frame

Problems were 2-fold. First, the apex trigger hit the frame thus preventing the gun from firing, and secondly, the safety plunger was too short thus preventing the gun from firing. I had to file the frame to achieve proper clearance for the shoe and use the factory plunger to get it to fire.

Threw in a Timney Alpha and wow.

So you really did the timney trigger , sear and safety plunger kit !! Not just a trigger like some have done with apex then theres a plastic trigger that is not very good . ??

Timney kit 159 dollars
Apex FST kit could be as high as 180 dollars retail for both .
Not quit a 100 dollars difference !!

Guess your one of the very few 1/2% that had apex trigger issues maybe. But after a little grinding here and there maybe it was something else .

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

Maybe this will be a trend with S&W! I would like to see an all metal Shield and an all metal Bodyguard.380!

What can be expected from a guy thats been paid by s&w for a couple decades to be one of there pro shooters but a promotional video of How the New M&P is By FAR THE MOST ACCURATE PISTOL He's shot . ha

Would we expect any less from Jerry's promo .

Maybe even a 5th gen series of DA/SA semiautos!

 

[Donn]

It interests me, but my poly framed M&P works just fine,,,, and it's paid for.

 

[sotexas]

Change is good. Even a change to the past. Still waiting on the return of the Leisure Suit

 

[Chas310]

Make it in a 3.6 or a 3.1 and I'm in.

Please see the Jerry Miculek short video on the new metal M&P. He is impressed with its accuracy.
