So an aluminum frame M&P will cost you 50% more than the polymer version. And as is so often the case, S&W drops the ball on the details by making an “optics ready” gun without the taller sights which would allow you to co-witness with your red dot sight. At least they call the Cerakote “Tungsten Gray” rather than the silly “Bullshark Gray” on one of their M&P specials. Wonder what alloy they’re using – since they call it “T6 aluminum” I don’t suppose it’s strengthened with scandium like some other S&W products. Still, from the write-up it sounds like… Read more »
Yeah it looks pretty good. I like it.
Now this is an improvement worth considering. Plastic guns have their place but I’ll go with metal any day. I do find it interesting that nowhere do they state what this pistol weighs. That’s what I want to know. Everything else is just another M&P.
Nice to see something new in metal. My two polymer guns will likely be the only ones I ever buy. The LCP is so uncomfortable to shoot I don’t practice with it and rarely carry it. The FNP-45 is an awesome shooter but of limited durability. The thin ‘guide rails’ molded into the magazine well are wearing away and I don’t dare change the grip module for a 4th time because the flexible retaining piece looks like it is about to break off. Ergo I am strictly metal from here on out.
I don’t care for plastic weapons or magazines if I have a choice
I was genuinely interested in this pistol as I need a 9mmP to replace my old Ruger P94- until I saw the $900$ price tag. Too bad- and so sad, but- I can do better! Shoot, I can probably find a Browning HP for that dinero…
now there is a pistol worthy of the brand S&W I have to say aesthetically it is very appealing, unfortunately I cannot say anything else about the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Metal unless they send me one to test and review for myself, and we all know that will not happen but a guy can dream. I have always enjoyed the Smith and Wesson brand of firearms and they were all relatively reliable and functioned as they should. minus a couple I had feed issues with but what do you expect from an abused second or third hand used… Read more »
Looks good to me. The MP is a really good tool. The major dislike I have with it is the sizeable gap between the slide and the frame. LOTS of room for dust, junk, debris to get in there and screw something up about the time when you need it the most. You might notice that in most photos the firearm is shown in such a way to be sure NOT TO SHOW THIS GAP. One reason that the 1911 still works, 110 + YEARS after it’s adoption by the Army, is there is very little way for debris to… Read more »
Hmmm, striker fired Tupperware guns now in steel. What a fascinating time to be alive. Next you’ll tell me that they make 1911’s in plastic, polymer revolvers;; what? They do? Well, never mind….
I look forward to the day when Maryville, TN is on the side, rather than Springfield, MA.
(btw, it’s pronounced murr vl, not mary vill)
