Help educate me on M&P 2.0 Compact 9 mm Please

The slide lock as stiffened up in response to slides going forward when a mag was slammed in. Personally that never bothered me but I guess it’s a liability thing for corporate.

2. The slide release is so stiff it cannot be released without some very serious use of thumb pressure..seems easier to just rack-slam the slide. Normal for this style gun?

Since you were familiarizing yourself with the pistol, was the magazine loaded when you tried the slide release?

The upward pressure on the follower from the spring in an unloaded magazine makes it much more difficult to thumb down the slide release. A loaded magazine relieves that pressure, making the slide release easier to operate.

You got a nice pistol. It's a great range gun and a great house gun for self defense.

You'll find the slide release and trigger will both improve with use. The M&P eats just about any brand of ammo out there. I like 124gr best at the range, Fiocchi and S&B do well in mine.

You should have at least one spacer in there too. With a spacer you can use the full sized 17rd mags.

I can't help you on the date code, more knowledgeable people then me will be along though.

It's a solid, reliable pistol. As good as any out there that cost alot more, with S&W support to back it up.

Yep I tested mine with 200 rounds steel case, 200 rounds of brass case, 200 rounds of aluminum cased ammo and it never chocked once.

The steel cased was crappy tula.
