S&W M&P 2.0 Compact Pistol Review

[@supermanwithsilvergun4679]

Just purchased this for $420 as my first pistol. First generation gun owner here in WA. Recovering from years of anti gun propaganda growing up in CA. Thanks for your solid review and enthusiasm about this pistol. I can't wait to take it to the range!

[@tommoore2012]

My first gun too. I think I've had mine for four years?

[@adriancopperblood1546]

Also here in WA, this was my first gun too. I bought it for around $500 a little over 2 years ago. I knew nothing about it and the seller was impressed by my choice. I just liked the way it looked 😆

[@TheGr8Brewski]

Damn! Sootch00 you have sold me so many guns with your reviews, my wife said in order to get this one I should trade something in for it, So I said farewell to my wife and traded her in for it, and man was that the best thing I have ever done.

I get it. You tell the pros and cons without needlessly bashing products.. that's appreciated, also your videos are family friendly with none of the yelling and constant F-bombs.. it's why I subscribe and watch. Thanks!

[@Ultimatecoincrazed]

Dana V Because Sootch is the Godfather of firearm reviews imo. He reviews them in a classy, meticulous, and organized fashion. When I want an opinion on weapons, he's the first channel I go to.

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

Dana V sooooo you're a fragile vagina, got it. He gives terrible reviews because he's not critical. He gives overviews, not reviews. He's never disliked anything.

[@Ultimatecoincrazed]

Maximus Joseppi Did you not listen to his video? Where he says he gives pros and cons? Go to hell man. Seriously if you don't like him don't bash him and ruin it for the people that do like him. Why are you watching his videos if he gives "terrible reviews"? You're still apparently subbed to him. One does not need to curse and yell and rave to get a point across. I so happen to use bad language, but if he doesn't, more power to him. I've been watching his videos for about 3 years and at least I know if I'm buying a firearm, if he has reviewed it, it's going to be good.

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

Ultimatecoincrazed haha I didn't bash him? I said he doesn't give reviews, he gives overviews. That didn't mean I don't like his videos, they just are not truly critical. A review implies a critical analysis with the possibility of it being negative. Go find a video where he said something sucked and not to buy it. I won't hold my breath, ready set go. He reviewed the Gen 5 glock 19 as being a good gun ROFL. Thing is the shittiest pistol you could possibly buy today. Real reviewers will say that, not sootch that gets given everything for free.

[@Ultimatecoincrazed]

Maximus Joseppi You need to listen and watch his videos before commenting. He said he won't review it if it sucks. So everything on his channel has passed his stamp of approval as far as quality. And saying he gives terrible reviews and insulting a fellow subscriber just makes you look like a jackass, and does, if I'm not mistaken, fit the definition of "bashing". One does not get well over half a million subscribers by not creating quality content. How many subs does he have? Let me check, oh half a million. How many do YOU have? 421. And since you are so quick to jump all over the dude, where are your "reviews"? I see one or two at most on your channel.

[@stevecochran9078]

Great review. I just recently switched from the Glock 22 to the S&W M&P .40 M2.0 for duty use and shoot the M&P way better than I ever shot my Glock. Even just screwing around, I shoot better on an IPSC target than I have ever done on my best qualification run with the G22. The only pistol I shoot better with is the 1911. I'd certainly have no reservations getting a compact M&P in 9mm for concealed carry. Just a note for those who care. The slide stop really shouldn't be used to release the slide on a mag change and isn't even designed to do so. The proper, more efficient and reliable method, is to bring the support hand down on top of the slide at the rear to mid-point grasping it with all four fingers and the heel of the hand, rack it violently to the rear and release it so the slide travels forward at full velocity. This is so it can reliably strip the first round from a full, tightly loaded magazine and feed it into the chamber without hanging up. Trying to use fine motor skills while your bacon is about to drop into the fire could cause you to lose precious time making you Runner-up, which is no place to be in a self-defense event.

[@taraswertelecki3786]

Good point. S&W magazines do get tight as you fully load them. Even the ones that have been used for some time get that way.

[@TheGV50]

$100 cheaper than a Glock and a LifeTime Warrantee, that's a good selling point!

[@josephholder5472]

I own this gun already and it has some Hang-Ups I don't know if it was because it wasn't well-greased but dry as it came with dry ammo every time I tried to cock the gun slowly or at a medium speed it would hang up the 9 mm

Just picked one of these up an hr ago. My first firearm and this seemed like a great all around gun for home defense, target practice or to carry in the future if needed. It was between this and the glock 19 which you included in the video. This feels better in my hand which is what ultimately made my decision. Thanks for the review!

Jessie Castro I’m not too sure but they may not make a California compliant version of this gun. I live in Ohio and have the M2.0 compact 9mm that holds 15+1. In California I believe you guys are limited to ten rounds in a magazine?

[@jessiecastro646]

[@communityprepper6153]

Been a Glock guy for years. My job dictates I carry the S&W 2.0 and I've come to like it.....a lot. I've since bought this firearm and I'm very pleased with it.

[@matthewhartup941]

2.0 compact is the perfect sized handgun in my opinion. 4 inch barrel for accuracy at the range and home defense. Excellent features for the price point. I'm just an average shooter, my groups are tight at 7 - 15 yards. 20-25 yards I can still hit center mass. 500 rounds of different ammo through mine and zero malfunctions. Hard to beat at the 310 I paid for mine new. They're much more expensive now.

[@Jay-vc8vf]

I found a few for $400 . Still very good price. I was wondering if you dry fire at all? Will it damage the firing pin?

[@Andy-ot8cu]

I think it's better if the grip is too aggressive from the factory. It's easier to sand down the grip if you don't like it, than to have someone stipple it if you need something more aggressive.

[@hurt1704]

The bloopers at the end are always a favorite part of your videos, not just because they're funny but because they show how much effort put in to produce and edit the main video. Appreciate it buddy!

[@futuresonex]

Love this gun! I've been begging S&W to make this gun since 2005. I never could figure out why they chose not to even compete with the world's most popular handgun -- the Glock 19 -- for more than a decade. It just didn't make sense! Thankfully they've finally decided to do so, and I got mine!

[@richardayala4356]

It’s a 10 for me. I always wear a T shirt and a shirt so no issues on the grip. Love the tactile grip and the accuracy of the gun. Lastly, those palm swells make a huge difference on your grip, unlike Glocks. Great gun, and I would add that you get more of a gun with Smith and Wesson than Glock with those cheap sights, which most everyone swaps out for an extra $100.

[@midwest1228]

I guess I've never had a problem with S&W m&p triggers. They aren't the best I've ever used, but not even close to the worst. Reliability is what I'm interested in. So far the m&p line has never made me question it. They feel great, shoot great, built great, and are reliable.. not to mention made right here in my favorite place, the good ol' USA! I chose to put food on American tables when I can... It's getting harder and harder to do.

[@emmettmarbury6571]

John W well said

[@walterhwhite109]

Agreed. We've become little pansies when it comes to triggers. If you shoot the gun accurately then whats the problem? Thanks

[@wilycoyote9091]

I have a first generation Shield and some say the trigger stinks on it, but I manage to put good groupings together without much fuss. Very serious about getting one of these as I love the Shield and it's a S&W so I'm confident that it will last. The one time I ever needed to use their warranty service I was impressed with what they did to correct my 622 that was having issues going into battery, stove piping, and failing to always eject. They put a master gunsmith on it and he signed off that the gun was fixed. That was 25 years ago and I've shot thousands of rounds through it since without a hiccup which is very good considering 22 ammo isn't always the most robust or consistent in quality. A company that truly backs up their products is hard to find these days.

[@MrJDGraves1]

And if you train the trigger becomes irrelevant. Shot some really sloppy triggers back in the day, but the more I trained with it the trigger became irrelevant as long as I stayed with the fundamentals... GOD Bless and good shooting..

[@aikidragonpiper71]

I purchased my full size M&P9 M2.0 with a 4.25 in barrel ,and 2 17 round magazines for $409. Full size but it's not some giant gun. Fairly compact for a full size pistol. Only slightly bigger than the compact version. Maybe not as concealable but a super comfortable shooting gun.

[@panzer263]

I've carried a first gen M&P45 since 2009 on duty. When the slide is locked back, it auto-forwards every time I insert a magazine. It's a flaw, but it does it every time, so it makes for a nice, fast mag change because I don't have to manipulate the slide or slide stop. I purchased my own 2.0 9mm compact a few years ago and despite the "extended chassis" and spring loaded detent on the slide stop, it still auto-forwards, but it does so less reliably than my duty pistol. I called Smith and they agreed that this shouldn't happen. I sent it in for work, they kept it a month, said nothing was wrong with it and sent it back. When I called to ask why they didn't address the issue, the rep basically told me that this can happen with a polymer pistol and that I'm causing the problem by inserting the magazine too aggressively. Seriously, that's what they said. The only pistols that do this are my duty pistol and my 2.0. My Shield 2.0 doesn't do it and neither does my Bodyguard .380. I like the pistol and the way it shoots, but I will not carry a pistol for defense that I can't trust. I used to be hard core pro-Smith, but now I'm done with them. Just a friendly heads up to anyone that's considering this pistol.

[@kyklain86]

Definitely a much and better finish than the new Gen 5 Glocks.

[@xseaofgreen420x]

I found the trigger on the 2.0 compact to be pretty good, Id say it's comparable to the glock, It's just that the hinged shoe design makes it feel odd. I also shot my p10c side by side with the 2.0c and found that though the trigger is definitely better on the p10, The m&p 2.0 compact is the flatter shooting pistol. Just my opinion.

[@paulstella8443]

Thanks for sharing this observation. Would you say, then, that a 2.0c with an upgraded trigger that was comparable to P-10c's would then be an overall better shooting gun than the P-10c? At least for yourself?

[@xseaofgreen420x]

Paul Stella I would say if you put an apex in the 2.0 compact, you have a damn near perfect carry pistol. The controls are all much more smoother than the p10c right out of the box. The mag release, the slide stop, all much more easier to use. When you push the mag release the mag comes flying out of the bottom. The CZ fruitcakes are going to hate me saying this but I think the m&p 2.0c is the best new polymer pistol of 2017, not the p10. If there was such thing as the “glock killer” it’s not the p10c. Also we are starting to see in the CZ groups people are finding stress fractures inside of the frame where the main trigger pin goes through. I’ve seen multiple examples of this happening. People just don’t see it till they take their pistol down. I haven’t got around to checking my p10c yet but it has about 1200 rounds through it and I’m definitely concerned.

[@wedge259]

Personally, all I did to mine was put in a flat faced Apex trigger shoe. I did not put in the trigger bar or any of the other springs or parts. In my opinion that was all it needed, it smoothed out the little bit of grittiness it had with the factory trigger. I have a full size 2.0 with a full Apex trigger kit in it and there is little difference between the two.

I got the subcompact, great gun for concealed carry and for light easy wear

[@ColdCanuck50]

Ah, yes...the good old days when we were actually able to buy ammo without taking out a second mortgage.

[@Voltis-5]

Been getting 1k rnds 9mm for around $300-350 nowadays. Still not as cheap as before but at least they are now readily available locally and online.

Sootch, you should do a video on proper pistol grip......you shoot rapid fire like a boss.

Congrats to S&W for introducing a gun that should have been introduced 10 years ago.

[@olliecrow3547]

Alex K. The M&P line was introduced in 2005 or are you referring to the M&P Compact?

[@Atombender]

Yes, to this very model. Of all the pistol "size" categories, compact is the most important one.

[@ddiegorosa]

@@HelplessTeno Well said. It is to you. If you own one then it's just in time and if you don't then why does it matter?

True. The flip side is, congrats to Glock for making the same pistol they've been making for 30 years and calling it new.

[@redpilledpatriot8484]

Sootch, I am VERY sorry for thinking/saying you get perks from BCM, I felt terrible for buying into that and I truly apologize. Also I was not meaning to say anything bad about you, I simply thought you had an honest bias, like if I were to ask the owner of Daniel Defense what the best rifle is, it wouldn't make sense because to me he will sell me a DD, Nothing wrong with that but in my experience ive learned the best info comes from those with no bias, I meant no harm, sometimes I'm just a bit to blunt and forthright, I have been a big fan for years now. I hope you can forgive me and I have asked God to help me with making false assumptions. Justin.

[@sootch00]

Hey Justin, You're good. There's a lot of drama going on about KZbin channels making lot of money. I understand where it's coming from and there should be disclosure. Just like my deal with Gun Pro deals. Gun channels have lost 70% of their ad earnings. If it wasn't for Patreon, I'd be in trouble. If I receive money or items from a company, I'll mention it. Gun Pro Deals want their name out there, they have great prices and service. It's a win win for all. The truth is, I've been on KZbin 9 Years and if people can't trust me to say what I really think, I'd never have grown to this size. I will never say anything dishonest about a product.... ever. My preferences change so I may have different a opinion of a product 5 years from now, but I will only be honest. No ones agrees on everything so we need each other to see it from different perspectives. It keeps the Gun Community Honest. Thanks for your comment.

[@anthonyduffy5967]

I’ve had the exact same gun but in the full-size for about a year now. Loving it! Took a little time to get used to the trigger, but stacking rounds now.

[@UltraViolence74989]

S&W really stepped up their game lately.

[@destinedforgreatness9745]

Bro your reviews on weapons are some of the best I have seen! I had a really difficult time choosing a reliable compact pistol and I have made a decisive decision now. Thanks bro😎👊

[@KimTownsel]

Another thorough review. Will also watch this video on the other place. :)

[@jhustler1992]

I heard so many great things about the S&W M2.0 both .40 and 9MM that I bought one (.40). I already have a 9MM Sig Mk25, so I wanted to go with the S&W .40. That way, I can cross train between the two calibers, and also get to know two different brands of handguns as a beginner shooter.

[@jhjani1284]

I just came here for the music and the mustache.

[@user-rc5hk5iq8j]

I'm a fella with big hands, and my prior EDC pistol was a glock 22 with a polyer80 lower (genuine austrian glock upper, i had the p80 lower as a test and because i liked the aggressive grip stippling compared to OEM glock.) i switched to the M&P40 M2.0 compact and use the Medium Large backstrap, and i couldn't be happier.

[@user-rc5hk5iq8j]

I would also like to add. Smith & Wesson was the first ever pistol i've ever actually EDC'd, it was a S&W 5906, and i gotta say, Smith & Wesson makes WONDERFUL firearms.

[@fluffythekitten1013]

Just picked one up for myself- it was between this and the glock 43. Glad I went with the m&p 2.0 for sure! Great review!

[@deanyilmaz8090]

I've had multiple s&w m&p's, 2.0s, etc and they really weren't worth their price in quality, manufacturing or reliability compared to better & cheaper alternatives. They are not worth more than hi-point. I haven't even gotten to 200 rounds and already my m&p 2.0 is malfunctioning. Failure to extract, failure to cycle, double feed & not to mention the slide kept locking up after each shot (mind you I'm using good quality ammo & oil like I do with my Caniks, Tisas or Sars, and runs like a clock). I've heard horror stories of the m&p literally blowing up with symptoms like this so therefore I have deemed this joke of a firearm unsafe & not recommend to anyone who doesn't like hot dangerous garbage. And s&w is an even bigger joke as their only help is to say "use good ammo, oil it good" or "here's 5% off on the same m&p as an apology for our hot garbage gun".

M&P's Blowing Up LOL! You're an AssHat!
