Aluminum Frame M&P9 M2.0

Register to hide this ad
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
For $900, I'd expect some hands-on personal instruction from Miss Flannel in that video. :cool:

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...

Cost savings and weight savings.

Cost savings for the manufacturer, yes. For the consumer? At that time? Maybe. They could have priced it any way they wanted.

Weight savings? 5.2oz, really. That's six slices of the wheat bread I found in the pantry.... come on.

They charge more now because now it's being seen as a novelty item. That's why. They could have easily kept the metal frames when they developed the M&P line...

Is it nice that they offer metal frames again? Yes. But it's not like they have done anything new, so I'm not excited about it, really.
 
Unless you live behind the curtain

Once again the company that gave us that awful revolver lock introduces a new model without a 10 round mag option for those stuck behind the curtain. Bummer.

No I can't just move. Too close to pension.

But 6 years from today you're darn right I'm moving! 😁

The website says this pistol takes the same mags as any other M&P so the old full sized 10 round mags should work. Idk if they'll have a ban state option or not, but we won't be without mags.
 
Take the one thing that owners and reviewers have universally praised about the M&P M2.0, the grip texture, and get rid of it. Brilliant! :rolleyes:
 
I like the looks of it, and they continue to send emails about revolvers, including the new one in .350 Legend. For me, if it was a Compact in .45 I would be very interested as long as the price isn't $700+

Wow that jump cut to the sponsored ad was so bad.

That said, I wasn't really impressed with the stock trigger pull or reset that she showed. The break was very far back with a lot of pretravel, and the reset seemed really long as well. My 2.0 compact has an Apex trigger with a forward break and a very short reset. Trigger doesn't look like a huge upgrade, but of course I haven't felt it.

The choice of aluminum and the weight difference vs polymer are interesting. A heavy steel M&P would make sense for competition (like the steel PPQ) since the weight could help you get back on target faster. With an aluminum frame that is 2 oz heavier than polymer, you're getting a very slight weight increase. The high speed low drag guys won't like it due to the extra weight and the competition guys won't like it because it's lighter than a Shadow 2. I'd guess they are betting on the folks who just love metal framed guns picking them up. Plus they probably had extra capacity to build aluminum pistols on the same lines as the CSX, so why not?

More choices are great to have, and there is something about a metal frame…
