It's official the M2.0 is here!!

Appologies if this has been discussed but is the FDE model only in a 5" barrel with a safety? I'd be interested in buying one with a 4.25" barrel and no safety but it looks like my only option is black.

Is it worth the upgrade? I have a standard M&P .40 fullsize that I'd most likely sell if I bought one, but I have to be picky since I certainly don't "need" it

If the variety of original models is any indication, you can expect to get almost any configuration you want, that is, when S&W has had time to manufacture them and get them to distributors. They had to start somewhere, and these few models are it for the next few weeks. A year from now you will likely see these improvements on all the full size models you want, and probably the compact and Shield models too.

I have watched every review on the new 2.0 i like what i hear and see. As i have stated in the past S&W is really diggin in and making their spot in the competitive field, Hopefully they keep their prices appropriate. To the guy that said he wouldnt buy an M&P my question is why even reply?
 
Does it make sense to NOT buy a 9c and wait for the compact 2.0 version? I might not want to wait too long. Will the original M&Ps be discontinued?
 
This pistol doesn't have GRIP ZONE printed on it, so I would just get confused if I bought it.
 
Looks interesting. The new aggressive grip texture and the greater customization via the interchangeable backstraps will be big selling points.

The hand-wringing I've witnessed on other forums over the M&P's accuracy has me shaking my head, though. :confused: Are we seriously expecting match grade mechanical accuracy from a $450-$500 pistol?

I look at it this way: If that M&P can place all its shots in the area of a pie plate at typical engagement distances without sacrificing reliability, what exactly is gained by tightening it up? Are 1" MOA groups at 25 yards really that big of a deal? Is this supposed to be a defensive pistol or a dedicated bullseye gun?

Just something to think about.
 
I'm holding out for the 5" .45acp version, it'll look really nice next to my Shield 45

I bought both and had the FDE safety removed in 10 minutes. S&W is sending me the plugs to fill the space where the safety was

Wonder if the grip inserts are interchangeable with the originals. The M-large sounds like it might have possibilities.
 
I wonder if the newest upgrades of the 2.0 will revise the .357sig model to come out. I truly love the round and as soon as i can save the cash for the new 2.0 40 cal i will swap the barrell so i can use .357sig.
 
I have a 4.25" coming in tomorrow and was wondering if they fit 1.0 holsters? I'm wanting to get a ALS for it that will accept my TRL-1.

I have done some 25 yard shooting with full size m&ps and my p320c, both shoot 6-7" groups for me offhand. Is the accuracy issues from people bench resting them? I'm not ashamed to say I don't ever really one hole a group, even at 7-10 yards but I keep them grouped pretty well center mass.

The 2.0 is slimmer than the 1.0 so i doubt the holsters are same especially plastic and kydex. Possibly an all leather holster that has not been used may fit.

As for the accuracy, videos show it to be "on point" just as previous models however, that steel liner seems to help along with some lightening of the slide.

Kydex and leather holster retention is usually based on the trigger guard, especially with a retention screw. S&W purposely designed the M2.0 to be backwards compatible for holsters. The trigger guard width and general shape are the same. The front and rear of the slide are the same width. Only the front half of the slide is a little thinner. This should make no difference for holster fit/retention. Dust covers are the same dimensions. No problem.

Also mags are compatible for the guns and previous mag holders. Sights are the same.
 
Went tried a m2.0 in a raven kydex (made for the original) and it worked perfect. It looks like holsters shouldn't be a problem.

The original M&P pistols didn't inspire any desire for me to own one, the new 2.0 is on my to buy list for home defense. The revised grip and much improved trigger are the biggest improvements. My LGS encouraged me to handle and dry fire samples of old and new knowing I'd be impressed.

That's a sexy looking gun right there! Got to play with this model and the 5" FDE version and I love the new grip texture. I really want the FDE model but I can't get over the backstrap being a different color than the frame. I may just have to add another black gun to the collection.

I bought a 9mm 2.0 and a .45 Shield over the weekend. Love the grip. It's like the gun grips the hand, not the hand gripping the gun.

Are 5" 2.0 models WITHOUT the manual safety scheduled for production anytime soon? My searches to find one in the wild have been fruitless.

And no, I don't want to buy a Safety model and plug the safety slot.
