My M&P 2.0 4.25 C.O.R.E series with ported barrel EDC and USPSA match gun just had the firing pin break at 20,408 rds. S&W customer service is sending me a new firing pin assembly and recoil spring assembly and new slide lock, no questions asked. Was literally looking to purchase a new one for EDC while dedicating this one for matches. The timing of this couldn't be any better.

[@dtomamerican3471]

I have had similar experiences with S&W customer service. They are very helpful and get parts for maintenance intervals in a timely manner. I'll keep buying M&P's

[@musicman1eanda]

How the heck did you get them to send you parts? They denied my requests for replacement springs and a stock flat faced trigger assembly, even after I included in the email I would have a gunsmith install them.

[@dtomamerican3471]

@musicman1eanda call customer service and talk with them like you know your stuff. Have serial # of firearm available just in case. Tell them you shoot a lot and that they have sent you those replacement parts to you in the past with no issue. If you have a problem with 1 employee, hang up, call again, and you'll possibly get someone else who will actually help. Be kind, I had to pay for parts sometimes, and most other times, they send out free of charge.

[@BrianKern2121]

I disagree, the best pistol was the 5906. I like the M&P 2.0, my favorite polymer Striker handguns

[@Joe-hz1nw]

@@BrianKern2121all depends on application. 5906 is a load of a gun to carry around. Also, 99% of people aren’t going to practice enough with the high learning curve of that critical first shot. On a pure build quality, early 5900’s series are definitely better. There is diminishing returns though.

[@gun..]

@@Joe-hz1nw this guy knows his shit.❤

[@Joe-hz1nw]

@@BrianKern2121 I’m with you, I own several 5906’s among other models and have put probably 15,000-20,000 rounds through them. The early ones in particular, if you take them apart all the way down to every pin, spring, etc., they are really high quality pieces of kit. The newer ones added more plastic parts but still were high quality. I like DA/SA guns as well. But, on the clock, even with tons of practice, draw to first shot timing is objectively slower than a SA or striker fired gun with a decent trigger. If I worked a job like you do/did, that speed would be paramount. Edit: to your point, for a range gun/just a high quality gun to have, I’d rather have the 5906.

[@truthseeking3818]

Lay your hands on a 4'' Shield Plus if you can. I have the 4'' and 3.1 and they are unmatched for EDC. The Shield Plus with the 4'' barrel shoots better than my glock 19, in a MUCH thinner package. I use the 4'' during winter or when I am wearing jeans. 3.1'' is my basketball/sweatpants gun.

[@truthseeking3818]

@@mikewithers299 It's actually a 4''. It's amazing. Think of the length of a g19 - with the thinness of the Shield, with the ability to run a 10rd sub compact, 13rd sub+extension, and a full 15 rd compact magazine in it. Endless options, and I swear my 4'' Shield Plus Performance Center shoots softer and more accurate than my 19!

Do you also have a G19? I’m so used to Glocks, but curious about the obvious value in the p10c. I’m afraid I’d like it and then stare at my g19 mags and holsters like “what are you doing”

[@derrickburnett8703]

I had a p10c before I got a g19. Used to be extremely accurate with it. After using the Glock 19 for a while, was definitely a transition to shoot the cz p10c again. The Glock grip angle is different, so when going back to the cz I was breaking all my shots low. That being said, for the 300-350 the p10c is going for you’re not going to find a better pistol in that price range. I paid 500 for mine and still think it was worth it.

There’s zero creep the reset is short audible, and happens exactly at the wall. My only complaint: the springs are all really, really stiff, but it’s not that bad of a complaint because I expect that to increase the reliability once it breaks in. If the thing turns out to be reliable, I’m going to be happy to get rid of my 365s which I’ve given me nothing but trouble (failures to eject; light primer strikes; in two separate examples)
