S&W M&P 9 M2.0 FDE in 5 inch
- Thread starter enbloc
- Start date
i had the 4.5" model and it was a nice gun. nowadays there are so many great striker options and while the M&P ran great I still favor my G17, Steyr M9 and HK VP9. S&W definitely improved the trigger. the slide release system now is overly complex. they also added a few parts to the striker/sear mechanism. i found this added complexity annoying in principle but from functional perspective the gun seems solid. the trigger guard still feels like it goes too low and doesn't allow a solid undercut like other pistols but that might just be my hand.
if you liked the original M&P then you'd like this one. it's pretty much the same pistol with a more aggressive grip.

It is readily available from distributors so any shop can order. The only SKUs I can see have 17rd mags so the shop would have to replace with 10rd neuter-mags adding to cost. ( or deliver without mags).

I have been a Harley-Davidson tech for 30 years and have no oils left in the skin of my hands. Too many chems for too long.
This makes gripping anything too smooth nearly impossible. I like the aggressive stippling on these newer poly-framed pistols.
The M2.0 looks like it has the same texture as the M&P45 which I like very much.

Lol when I was more of a man and running cables and working with my hands more I didn't care about stuff like this. However now I'm an office weeney I will admit my hands aren't very tough.

@DarrenL you get yours yet? Lucky son of.....![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")
I’m going Friday or Saturday to get it.
Wait. What? Did you win one? Which one? Which color? Which shop had it?
Pardon the saliva...

Won one at IDpA match this weekend. Pretty sure it’s just the “regular” 2.0, not the 5”
So it turns out I ended up with the exact picture Enbloc posted (first post). Its an FDE M+P 2.0, and its got a 5” barrel, (chamber to muzzle = 5”, slide extends past frame.) The grip texture is excellent, its basically the same as the granular skateboard style tape you would get from talon or whoever.
