M&P 45 M2.0

[ElNorm]

Hi!


New here and hello. I finally decided to drop the hammer on a new full sized M&P®45 M2.0... Bad timing, really. Should have started looking last November, I guess.

I know the plant is or was dealing with the flu. I see other S&W's coming in by and by....but nobody seems to have this one. I'd love to hear from someone who knows the prospects of when to see this one available again. Can't find anything but old reviews online. Many thanks!

Welcome. The .45 M&P's are kind of niche guns, 9's and to a lesser degree the .40's have the greatest demand.

I went in early with the 4" guns and glad I did. Glock 19 size and .45 ACP. They do well with a RDS and carry well.

Best advice, hope to get lucky. If you have a good local gun shop, get on their email alert system. Review the on-line auction sites and see if anything is moving.

Consider listing in Wanted to Buy sections on shooting forums. But let the buyer beware.

Good luck

Skip the .45 and the .40, and grab one in 9mm.


1. More shots means you stay alive.
2. Cheaper ammo means you shoot more.
3. Less recoil means you shoot faster.

I have a a Shield 9MM, a 2.0 Compact 9MM, and a Shield EZ 9MM. Excellent t guns. I also have a 2.0 .45. Laser beam in my hands and I love it. I surely wouldn’t feel less armed with it over my 15 round Compact 9MM.

I am waiting for and looking forward to someday getting the 45ACP S&W SKU 11769. Meanwhile, I got very attached my original M&P9 1.00000 so I will not be replacing it with 2.0.

Yup. That is one of my favorites.

Hard to beat the M&P45. I have four in the 1.0 and not sure there's much need to look at a 2.0. I tried a M&P 9mm 3.6" in 2.0. Not overly enamored with it and while the reset is more distinct, it lacks some of the ability to fine tune the original 1.0 M&Ps had. To my knowledge, the 2.0 Shields and 45s still retain the original trigger bar loop, which allows you to adjust where the sear breaks in the trigger stroke. If you're not into fine tuning, not a big deal.

98% of the time I'm carrying the .45 Shield instead of my other handguns.
I'd like to get a full-size .45 one of these days.
Don't really "need" it, I just want one.

I shoot my 5 inch MP9 really well, and don't feel at a disadvantage when it's stoked with 124 grain HSTs.
They expand to .66 caliber and penetrate 18 inches in gel.
Not too shabby for a "little" 9mm.

I don't know if I agree with any of those statements. Well, maybe #2, depending on your budget.

My EDC has been a 4" 9mm Compact and it's quite accurate from the 10 yards I usually shoot at the range.

A couple months ago I bought the same gun but in .45 caliber, and it's been even more accurate for me. I find it hard to envision a scenario where 15 rounds from the 9mm will get the job done but 10 rounds from the .45 won't.

And I was pleasantly surprised at how manageable the recoil is on the .45. I don't think it slows my target re-acquisition at all compared to the 9mm.

M&P 45

Welcome. The .45 M&P's are kind of niche guns, 9's and to a lesser degree the .40's have the greatest demand.

Hiya!

I guess I'm gonna just be a hardcase. I always wanted a .45. They just shoot good for me. We have the original M&P Shield in 9mm. Fits nicely in the pocket.

The reviews for the full size gun are neck and neck with the Glock. Seen every vid made. I could have gotten one with a safety a month or so ago. Guess I should have pounced. Now I'm in wait mode. I don't know if S&W took the covid holiday or what. There are NO as in 0 M&P45 2.0 .45ACP out there anywhere and that includes 9's and 40's.

I have feelers out everywhere locally and on big time gun places. So that was why I was hoping somebody that actually knew what was going on at S&W might say. There was an arkle or two about how they got hit with the kung flu early on.

Hey, many thanks for hollering back! I'll keep watching.

I have the 4.25" 45 and couldn't be happier. Very reliable and accurate you should enjoy. BTW, Welcome

I've been told by several career LEO that if you don't win a gun fight in the first three rounds odds are you're not going to win.

If the first three rounds are the most critical I'd rather put three large holes in someone than three little ones.

I love my M&P .45 and just bought a M&P 45 Shield M2.0 without the safety.

They are both excellent handguns.

M&P Mod 2 45acp PC

I am a die hard Springfield shooter but never liked my XDS 45. I saw the reviews on the M&P PC w/ red dot found what I wanted. It shoots better than my tired old eye and because its a Performance Center great trigger and action. But I have not found a holster for it. I have put 500 plus rounds thru it works flawlessly. I had a 500/500 first time out at15 yards that's a defense gun. By the way I am in a wheel chair.

Try El Paso Leather they make a Tanker style that might work for you

I'm not a die hard Springfield shooter, but open to other reputable manufacturers. Also bought an XDS 45, pre Shield 45. Very accurate little firearm, beat the **** out of my hand and not very tolerable to shoot. The Shield 45 quickly usurped the XDS 45.

Have had some range time recently with my 1.0 M&P 45s and reminded how accurately "boring" they are. For those wanting to squeak out a bit more accuracy, the Storm Lake drop in barrels on close out at Midway are hard to beat.

That's me! I don't really need the 2.0. (For carry purposes we still have the trusty Shield 9.) Just always wanted a glockstyle .45. Comparing, I like the 2.0 better. And as for the 10 vs 17 bullet thing. In my humble opinion when you're up against it and you can't get the job done with one or two...then the rest of the mag won't help all that much. Not too many load on Sunday and shoot the rest of the week scenarios out there. Admitted, I'm a rank beginner compared to so many on here. I'm here to learn.

Don't really "need" it, I just want one.

I am very pleased with both of these.
They are all I need or want as far as a semi-autos go.

There you go getting all practical.

From a practical perspective I agree with you. But sometimes a person just wants what they want and it isn't completely about practical.

Take my love for revolvers for instance...
