So after a month and around 1000rd I have to say this firearm is my new favorite. I've shot several different ammo's through it without a hiccup. Its just a blast to shot and I"m a big fan of fde. The free mags and defense ammo were a big plus when purchasing this firearm. I think its defiantly a keeper and may do the Apex flat trigger when it comes out.

I got the holster from Swift Draw holsters. I was looking for something small and came across it on eBay. I contacted them before purchasing and they are awesome to deal with. I received it three day and it's easily a $60-70 holster for $40. Can't recommend them enough.

I've only gotten 250 round through my 5" FDE, but like you it has become my favorite. I'm a 3rd Gen guy but this pistol is amazing. Waiting for the 2.0 Compact to come out. I bought a Cleveland Kydex IWB holster for it and carry it more than I thought I would.
Very nice-while I think fde is so ugly I got a really good deal on a nib VTAC ahahahahaha. Can't wait to get my grubby mitts on it next week. I was going to get a 2.0 but this one was too cheap to pass up.
Great looking holster too!

I'm a sucker for the FDE as well. If it weren't for the thumb safety I likely would have gotten one instead of my standard, black 2.0.

I easily removed the safety on mine. I would have prefered black melonite but once I held it, it was all over
here's a blog post from Apex about an update on the new triggers: Page not found – Apex Tactical Specialties

My 5" 2.0 FDE has about 600 rounds through it now. I put an RDS on it using a beaver tail mount from Outer Impact. The trigger is clearly much nicer out of the box than any of my 1.0 M&P's, even our PC ones. But it does still need a little breaking in to get it as good as the trigger in my full size P320 RX.
I shoot those two side-by-side a lot, and they are both accurate, reliable and fun to shoot. It would be hard for me to pick a winner between those two.

I bought my 5" FDE 2.0 on Black Friday from a LGS. The guy helping me asked what I was looking for. I just said FDE 2.0 9mm and he says we don't have any. I point to an FDE in the case and he says "Oh, that's a 5 inch." Just what I wanted! I thought it was funny how he assumed I wanted a 4- 1/4". I have only put about 250 rounds through it but love the way it feels. My EDC is a Shield and I enjoy shooting it but nothing like the 5". I carry the 5" occasionally and like the extra capacity magazine. I bought a leather OWB holster that the barrel sticks way out of the bottom that I am not crazy about. The OP's holster looks like be worth trying.
I'm waiting on one here in WA....fella is asking $400 and we're just trying to find a time for the transfer.
Cam anyone compare it to a Walther Q? I had a full size M&P 1.0 and replaced it with a Q (much better trigger) and am wondering how the new 2.0 stacks up. (I was so impressed with my 2.0 Shield (which I got to replace a Walther PPS) I'm doing the 5" "blind" based on reviews....but am still curious is anyone has any Q vs 2.0 thoughts.)
When I have both I'll do a range comparison.
