M&P 2.0 V Glock

[romanowe]

I am in the market for a new 9mm polymer gun and am curious about the current state of the M&P 2.0's. I am currently running a gen 1 M&P 9c and would like to keep logistics simple with magazines if the 2.0's are reliable. If not, I'll probably switch platforms to a 19/43. Are these 2.0's gtg?

I've shot one of 2.0's in 9mm. Excellent grip, trigger, and accurate. I was able to stack my shots on top of each other from 5 yds. Highly recommended.

I only had one in .45 but yes, reliable.

Far better grip / handle than a Glock. Texture, angle, contour, all better.

I found three possible downsides.

1. You have to like, or at least not dislike, the hinged trigger

2. If you dont like the aggressive texture you'll spend 5 minutes lightly sanding it until its perfect for you

3. To remove the striker assembly you must remove a loc-tited screw (put some heat on it and it's not hard) so you can slide out the rear sight. (Easy)

To put it back you clean the screw and thread with alcohol, add blue loc-tite, and reinstall the rear sight.

The rear sight retaines the firing pin block so it's very important it doesn't go anywhere.

4. S&W mags sometimes have a hang-up feeding some Russian steel case ammo due to friction with the casings. I've seen this in single and double stack modern S&W's.

5. Slightly heavier than a Glock for better or worse.

Those are the only negatives I found. Reliable, accurate pistols that feel good in the hand. They also come with decent, steel sights and seem to recoil less than Glocks in my opinion.

Appreciate the quick response!

GTG! Switched out all my Gen1s for 2.0s

I think they're a really good choice. I have fired more than 10,000 rounds through two different M2.0s (5,000 each) without a single malfunction of any kind.

The price is reasonable, too.

One of my shooting buddies has a 2.0 and it’s been a good shooter. Nicely priced, well made, and a viable choice.

I’m too vested in Glock to deviate, but would consider the 2.0 if starting fresh.

I have 3. A 5 inch, 2.0 compact 4 inch and a shield performance center 4 inch. All are very reliable, better triggers and more accurate. I also have two 1.0 full size in 45 and compete with a 9mm performance center 5 inch 9mm, plus previously had two 9mm full size and shield 1.0. So I have had a lot of time on them. The 2.0s have a little less felt recoil because of the texturing they are glued to your hand. Triggers are definitely better not as mushy before the break. If that makes sense. The compact and shield rotate as my carry guns both get good solid hits easy at 50 yards on a standard silhouette. The shield is the big surprise, smaller grip, texturing, trigger and good sights that pistol can make you look good. All that being said, I don’t have a lot of time on Glocks but looked hard at the gen 5’s but went with the Smiths. Also because the grip angle feels similar to a 1911 which I carried for years. As o I’m biased lol

Both are good and dependable guns.
