#M&P2.0

You read it right: Smith & Wesson is introducing the popular and proven M&P 2.0 series of pistols in 10mm. There are two models coming out the day this video is published, a 4″ barrel compact model and a slightly larger 4.6″ model. Both have a 15 round capacity and they are built on the M&P 45 ACP frame, meaning that most M&P 45 holsters and accessories will work. It also has a brand new trigger and comes optics ready from the factory – but how does it perform? Check out the video to find out.

If you like the idea of a flat-faced aftermarket Apex trigger but don’t like the price associated with the upgrade then you’ll be excited to hear that Apex has just announced the introduction of a new budget-friendly trigger kit for the M&P 2.0 models of pistols from Smith & Wesson. The new Apex Tactical Specialties Polymer Flat-Faced Trigger lineup features the same patented flat-faced forward set trigger design but uses lower-cost polymer materials to bring the price of the trigger kit down by almost $70.

Each year we are gifted with further advancements in firearms technology. Sometimes these come in the way of improved materials and construction, and sometimes they come by mating two existing technologies together to create something new. While red dot optics on pistols isn’t exactly a new concept, a concealed carry weapon with a compact red dot optic has only more recently come to the fore of concealed carry methods. With the growing popularity of carrying optics, Smith & Wesson has updated its popular 2.0 series Compact pistols to the Compact Optics Ready pistol.

Legendary firearm manufacturer Smith & Wesson has just announced a new lineup of M&P 2.0 Subcompact Pistols. Chambered in 9mm, 40S&W and 45ACP, each caliber comes in a choice of with or without a manual thumb safety. Round capacity is 12+1 for the 9mm, 10+1 for 40S&W and 8+1 for the 45ACP. Pricing starts at $569.

The cavalcade of S&W M&P 2.0 news continues, with S&W announcing new sights available as of October 25th.  The new version uses TRUGLO’s excellent TFX (Tritium Fiber-Optic) sights.  For those of our readers who don’t know, the TFX series of sights are an excellent, constantly bright combination of snag-free CNC-machined steel fiber optic sights with Tritium for low/no light use.  This particular version of of the M&P 2.0 comes with a full-size grip and 4.25″ barrel in either 9mm or .40S&W.  They are also done exclusively in a flat dark earth finish as well.  Though the M&P 2.0 full size line does include a .45ACP version, a TFX-fitted .45 has not been announced as of yet.  Product numbers are 11767 for the 9mm and 11768 for the .40.  MSRP is reasonable at $699, which is $100 more than a plain full-size M&P 2.0.  This is a real value for the upgrade, being that TFX sights on their own retail for around $170.

CrossBreed Holsters announced it was now offering rigs that fit the new Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact pistol. As CrossBreed is one of the more popular carry holster companies, this should make a lot of shooters happy that want to get one of the new guns for concealed carry.
