M&P M2.0

[deadduck357]

Anyone know about or have any leaked info or pictures of S&W's new pistol? Something about an improved trigger. SS- Rumor Mill - Smith & Wesson M2.0 Found In Trademark Filings - Soldier Systems Daily

All I see is my newly bought M&Ps 1.0 decreasing in value by approximately 50-60%. But seriously why do a 2.0? They have the trigger mechanisms in place. Just do them like apex!

This is why it's called the rumor mill, you can't trust it.

Patience is a virtue. If there's anything to be seen, I'm sure it will be seen at Shot in January.

Academy has it listed but no picture

Here is a screen shot of the description of a brown on brown M&P M2.0

 

[zymurgeist]

That is possibly an offshoot of the Smith and Wesson and General Dynamics attempt to win the Army Modular Handgun System contract.

Academy just posted the photos here is the Brown version with five inch barrel and the Black version, the black one comes with thumb safety and without but has a shorter barrel.

Glad I have held off on adding a 4.25" M&P to my collection. Looking at the 2.0 I am not a huge fan of the aggressive looking texture, but the interchangeable palmswells in addition to the backstraps (similar to the VP9) looks like a very nice addition. Mag capacity is listed as 17 for a 9mm, which makes me hopefull about compatibility with older mags. If they are compatible with original mags I will definitely be picking up a 2.0 when they hit the shelves.

I just bought a FS Gen I M&P 9 this morning to add to my Shield 9 so I won't be getting the new model anytime soon. I'm envious !

 

[Rastoff]

Still no 2.0 on the S&W site. I wonder what's different?

 

[JL Murray]

Surely it is not going to be an Academy exclusive like the all black SD 9 that doesn't show on the S&W website either.

I wonder how good the m2 trigger is. I'm happy that s&w upgraded the m&p. I'm mad that due to the election I recently bought some M&Ps and fully outfitted them with apex triggers. Any news on accuracy fixes?

 

[GAPATRIOT]

Hope they make a G19 sized version!

More pics.

More pics.

Wonder what the cutouts in the dust cover are for, maybe attachment points for the full length rail? Interesting machining at the rear of the ejection port too. These things look "production" rather than one off custom work.

A friend of mine with Philadelphia Police said they're testing them.

 

[LoneStarWings]

Any word on if it takes the legacy M&P magazines? Hope so, as those mags worked great, no reason I know of to change them.

Wonder what the cutouts in the dust cover are for,...

I was wondering the same thing. Also, what is that just in front of the slide stop on the left side?

Missed that, looks like part of the stop.

Wouldn't mind adding one of those tan M2s in .40 S&W to my collection.

Here's a link to the Firearm Blog with some interesting information on the M2.0.

I am just hoping that mags and holsters are backward compatible or Smith and Wesson will have made a huge mistake that will probably adversely affect sales to 1.0 owners!

Armonite is the same finish on the M&P 15 sport II and the BG .380 and the Shield 45
Oh heck it's just their name for their nitride finish that's not new at all.

Yes, it's what used to be called Melonite, but for some reason they can't use that name anymore. It's the same as Tennifer on Glocks.

I miss the beavertail, but I think the new texture is nice. Never understood the texture below the trigger guard and I'm glad it's gone. It looks more like the SD9 now that the beavertail is gone.

 

[TAROMAN]

Wondering if a 45 will follow..

WOW I didn't even notice that the beavertail was gone until I read your post !!!

 

[vista461]

If the trigger is like my 45 shield, they'll have a winner.

 

[Shield9mm]

The only thing I like about it is the grip texture, looks like the shaved some weight from the slide.

 

[okiegtrider]

I notice this morning that the 2.0 has disappeared from the Academy website.

Looks like someone at Academy...
