NEW Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 METAL Pistol
Smith & Wesson has just announced the release of a new iteration of their M&P9 M2.0 pistol dubbed M&P9 M2.0 METAL. As the model name suggests, the new pistol features a metal frame. The aluminum frame of the new M&P9 M2.0 METAL pistol is externally similar to its polymer counterpart and is compatible with standard M&P9 M2.0 slides, magazines, palm swells and holsters.
Smith & Wesson @ TFB:
The performance that began with our polymer construction is now forging forward. The lightweight and rigid metal frame of the Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 Metal provides an extraordinary foundation for higher performance.
The new Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 METAL is a striker-fired pistol chambered in 9x19mm and fed from 17-round magazines. The frame lacks a thumb safety and features an 18-degree grip angle, textured polymer front strap, reversible magazine release button, ambidextrous wide slide stop and standard 1913/Picatinny accessory rail. Both the aluminum frame and stainless steel slide of the pistol have a Cerakote finish of Tungsten Gray color. The slide is optics cut, has front serrations and is fitted with steel white dot front and rear sights. The 4.25″ stainless steel barrel has a 1:10″ twist rate and Armornite finish. The pistol comes with an M2.0 flat face trigger and enhanced sear. The overall length of the M&P9 M2.0 METAL pistol is 7.4″ and it weighs in at 30oz which is a little over 5oz heavier compared to a polymer-framed M&P M2.0.
Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 METAL pistol is listed on the company’s website at an MSRP of $899. The pistol comes with four different-size grip swells and two 17-round magazines. For more information, visit www.smith-wesson.com.

As an an M&P owner with An Apex trigger, I would love to have an M&P Metal with the new trigger to try out. The aluminum frame and 4 ounces or so my make it feel different and it is certainly cool looking. But, we should not forget that the standard M&P 2.0 has an inner metal frame so it is not a pure polymer gun.
I need to handle one, not ready to spend $900.00 based on the Internet and company hype.
It takes more than just a little aluminum to make the recoil softer. The M&P will never be as soft shooting as my Beretta 92x. It still has the Browning action with the tilt barrel recoil. Looks like you are losing some texturing too on the grip. Love to try it out though. Who knows, I may love it. Every gun has its own feel. Interesting option from Smith and Wesson.
This is useless, bring back the 5906 and 4506
