Why are S&W M&Ps so cheap?

Smith competes on price cause they can't compete on quality, same as Taurus. Most dont visit gun forums, buy based on price, and often shoot little if any.

I would have to disagree Big Cracka, one of my M&P's have seen alot of rounds. and my shield was beat pretty hard. I would say the quality is there. I would say its pretty close to glock or other stiker fired but 150 or so less. So i can see the appeal of them to people with a strict budget. I have 7 M&P's currently and prefer them other most other striker fired pistols. I still use the shield for deep concealment at black tie events and other where i can not print at all.

Too bad he's wrong. Comparing S&W to Taurus is complete fail.

Agreed, and negates any sense of credibility the poster might otherwise have.

After a decade with G19s (gen 2, 3, and 4) I got tired of Glock's lack of progression/response to the market and gave the 2.0 M&P a try. I was also on the tail end of trying to address the ejection issues that came with the gen 4s. Haven't looked back since switching, and often joke that the 2.0 is the gen 6 version of the Glocks. I actually had a Boresight Glock with reduction and stipple and the 2.0c feels the same to me as the Glock did after it came back from Boresight. A grip that doesn't need to be messed with and slide work that I find functional. And much less expensive. Win-win-win. Reliability has been as good, if not better.

I've tweaked it a bit, but beyond happy with it. Even when compared to one of my 'nicest' Glocks.

Which is zero

Just another dumb internet rumor from the horses mouth and most definitely BS but some tier 1 teams most definitely absolutely don’t run M&P gen 1’s because they are subpar cheap guns! Go figure, glad the internet is here to save me from a horrible mistake!

Did I miss something where someone said Tier 1 people were using M&P's or is your post completely random?!

I like the Suarez International Street Comp G19s.. Anyone make a similar functioning M&P 2.0?
