S&W M&P10 M2.0: Carries Like a 9, Hits Like a 10

Full featured review on the compact formed S&W M&P10 M2.0. Maybe you can add it to this review on the M&P40 in 2017: • S&W M&P Mod 2: Gun Got... . I topped it the cutting edge red dot sight too for testing: the Holosun HS507C-X2 (below). It gets a quick review here too.
Amazingly this M&P is about the same size of the 9mm or .40 S&W version. Pretty incredible. And yet it packs 15 rd 10mm firepower. Surely this thing must suck.
Not so fast. It's actually quite the opposite. Dial in to the video, brought to you by donors, and I'll show you lots of shooting with the M&P and how it impressed us.

Thanks for coming out to the video! PLEASE SUBSCRIBE HERE AND THE B CHANNEL (kzbin.info) This review of course is thanks to my donors who make this expensive process possible, fully independent reviews: www.patreon.com/Nutnfancy You can also donate to the TNP independence with PayPal also, above. Here’s some of TNPP comments on this video! "Brian Saunders I totally get the sight issue! I bent my sight removal tool trying to get the sights off. Holy crap! My brother, former USAF aircraft engine mechanic had the best methodology I’ve used. Drexel with cutting wheel right across the top. Just be careful you don’t go all the way through. Then just use a brass punch to break the sight. 2w Brian Saunders You shoot that gun very well! Some guns just fit some people! However, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want to fire this gun inside my house without hearing protection. Add a suppressor and a WML makes this gun pretty dang close to absolute perfection. I love mine! 2w Clint Allison Thanks for another M&P review. Self knowing and aware Smith nut swinger here. These guns are hard to beat for the money and they feel SO GOOD in the hand. Great video as always. 2w Seeker Keyl Love the concept of the gun. I say 'concept' since I haven't seen or shot it (haven't been poking around gun stores recently; wallet can't take it). I will say though regarding the m2.0 in general, if I had to choose between my current carry system based around the FN509 and a similar one around the M&P, it would be a tough choice. The 10mm caliber moves the choice to the M&P of course since the options are lower there and the ergos are practically identical to what I am used to (according to handgun hero). Excellent piece and thanks for sharing your thoughts. 2w Racing Psychosis So glad they JUNKED that articulated trigger. 3 2w The Nutnfancy Project Yes it is good to see 1 2w Racing Psychosis I've gone with that same version Primary Arms ACSS of that Holosun for a G19 slide. Its awesome. 2w The Nutnfancy Project Nice choice RP. I really love the 507 2w Nathan Simms aka Darkpriest Man if you want to shoot 10mm you better be rich or reload. I don't find the recoil that unmanageable and I'm pretty small for an adult man, but I sure as heck don't make the 250k a year to afford to shoot it regularly lol Also the SW trigger sucked and that's why I got rid of my shield. It was a great gun but the trigger was awful. Glad SW is moving away from that horrid trigger. 1 2w David Elkins I’m a Glock fanboy but love to see all of the great guns other makers are pushing out. It all comes down to personal preferences with so many great options. For me, a 10mm is more of a truck gun or would ride on a gun belt. A gen 3 g20 is on my to do list to pair with my G22/lone wolf 9mm conversion barrel / pistol brace in my go to war bag. 1 2w Todd Strelka Ooh, this is the one I've been waiting for! I'm a Smith & Wesson M&P fan boy. I need this for bear country and the commie zombies. 2w Doug Irelan Some say you can safely use .40S&W in this gun. 1 2w Anthony Sias II I have the same exact setup, M&P 10mm 4.6 inch paired with the Holosun 507C (ACSS Vulcan reticle). Love it so far. And the reticle is my favorite pistol red dot so far. Sidenote while running larger ring on the Vulcan reticle it does use a little more battery. 2w robert mccrory i've never even held a MP but 10 mm i might have to check it out, i've been buying more knives than guns lately, but might check it out the glock 29 was too bulky to carry everyday i tried, but home defense full size mp might be legit 2w Hold Fast Joe Talking about clown world for a moment at the end reminded me of what was said in one of the few shows I enjoy, gold rush. The guys on gold rush are looking at this being their final season because Alaska govt is shutting them down. They return the ground nicer than it was before they ripped it up to mine the gold, but that doesn't matter. Mining industry bad. Can't let people who want to work hard earn a dollar. 2 2w Elijah Ballard So much money is dedicated to preserving Alaska from the oil, mining, and fishing industries up here. It is really hurting Alaskans across the board how these industries just get trampled on by woke politicians. 2 2w Elijah Ballard Very nice video Nutn! I’ve been torn between the XDM, Glock 20 and this M&P 10mm. I’m not a fan of Glock because of how thick they are. I really like the grip on the M&P. They are almost have skateboard tape for grip. But also I think the XD fits my hands well. 2w Shawn Kuse Had my Gen3 G20 for about 15 years now. It has an NP3 coated slide with a LoneWolf barrel. I also had the front slide magnaported with the barrel. This is my nightstand gun with the attached Olight Balr Pro green laser\flashlight attached. Never going to get rid of it. 1 2w Richard Leonard Good timing on this video, it validates my research. Thanks Nutn. 1 2w steve garrett Looked at smith 10 mm at gunnies and I was disappointed how crunchy the trigger take up was. 2w Moe Mansour I love that hawk screeching in the background. He must be hunting for dinner. Sounds like a red tail. Awesome! 🦅 1 2w Bluegill097 .44 mag vs 10mm, which gets the nod ? I’ve never shot either one 2w Tim Bone Great review. Was waiting for your take on the M&P2.0 10mm. (And no you're not an idiot...putting an after-market trigger in M&P's is a real pain in the a**!) I've carried an M&P40 on-duty and off for dealing with 2-legged predators on Chicago streets for over 14 years and I've never had problems or felt out-gunned. Now I REALLY want the 10mm but those ammo prices and availability make it a real concern. But those that own this pistol really seem to like the ergonomics, size and versatility. 2w Tim Bone BTW...another huge advantage of red-dot optics on pistols...something never discussed: CLEARING ROOMS and STAIRWELLS with your pistol. Doing that with iron sights is not easy, hard on the eyes and quite exhausting. 😒 (And yes I know that it's safer to find a secure location and call police than to try and clear a building but that's not always feasible.) Try clearing your own home (safely of course) with a red-dot pistol vs. iron sights and you will see what I'm talking about! 1 2w The Nutnfancy Project Good point Tim just now Patrick Brichta Love me some 10mm! My 29 goes with me when I go into the woods 2 2w BadgerTails HOW are there still Rattlesnake Bokers in stock!!! My 10 love goes back to the S&W 1066/1076 Duty pistols. Tanks. Glock 20/29 are rocking my safe. The Colt Delta Elite gets carried A LOT, Underwood hot loads. 2w Steve Feeser The grip on my m&p 2.0 45 is quite rough against my skin. I took sandpaper to the side against my skin and filled it a bit. Much more comfy and still grippy. I like the gun. I got the compact with full size grip and four inch tube. Still prefer my Kimber ProCarry though. 2w Joooosh My velvety soft hands can take the grip on these for too long. Thats why I've incorporated a 2oz bottle of Jergens Ultra Healing Lotion into my EDC. If and when SHTF I'll be sure to lather up my falanges before first draw. 1 1w cody white I love the 2.0 grip texture very much a improvement including the trigger. This is from the shield plus I bought after your review and I’ll say it’s a improvement. Look into alpha omega kydex holsters, alien gear holsters for holsters that protect your side from getting grip rub or worn out. Alpha is what I’m using for my PSA dagger 1w Reinbeck_11 I see this weapon in my future…. Thanks Nutn and in the spirit of Christmas every time you drop a vid my money gets wings. 💸 1w Scott Nelson You're going to get me in trouble, Nutn.... I just got married.... Rent's due the first of the month... But this is now on the wish list! 1w Shot442 This gun has issues. Mine won’t feed 200 gr Federal. It’s not just you or your ammo. Other reports on internet of same problem. Sent it back to S&W and came back no different. They need to go back to the drawing board on this one. 6d Joey What was the brand of 10mm ammo that failed in all of the guns? 3d"

[@calholli]

Nutn.. On the M&P's, it's super easy to convert it to a "non-safety" (there are videos on youtube to show you how easy it is to remove the safety- you don't have to mill anything off) -- and then if you just call S&W, they will send you the little plastic inserts for free, that will fill the holes on each side (where the safety comes through the frame). And of coarse you can easily put the safety back if you want. It's a pretty sweet conversion job.

[@scottevans1662]

@@calholli I have the 4.6 inch with the thumb safety. I haven’t bothered to remove it simply because once I holstered, I just flick the safety down and it’s basically a standard striker fire handgun where all you do is draw from the holster and pull the trigger.

Spent way more money than the firearm cost testing the firearm. It actually put me into the reloading game. Smith & Wesson made a superior firearm. Over a thousand rounds of every kind of configuration I could think of running full power 10 mm. The firearm is flawless. Yes I am one of those PCC 10mm guys to cmmg. Even better for hunting Hogs.

Awesome review, I’ve had my M&P 10mm for almost a year and it has definitely become my favorite handgun in my rotation.

[@ChristheFlakkerGod]

How ironic! I just purchased a S&W 2.0 10MM a few weeks ago, threw on a TLR-1HL and a Swampfox Justice RDS and have been absolutely loving it. I made the joke that maybe the "too much for the FBI" had me expecting something insane to handle, but now I just look down my nose at the FBI because of it. xD

[@toddboone333]

I tend to go in the opposite direction. If I’m carrying, I want all of my shots on target. I can shoot 9mm, .380, and 5.7x28 very rapidly and not missing. I’ll take that in a high stress situation over 10mm or .45.

[@TimberwolfCY]

Capabilities of proper 10mm cannot be overstated. Damn fine round. It's basically .357 in a rimless form, making it ideal for autoloaders. Many 10mm ammo loadings (proper ones, like the aforementioned Underwood [personal choice], BB, etc.), exceed most .357 for raw power at the muzzle. .357 has the aerodynamics of course, but everything has it's POU. Really good review. I have a 20SF that I swear by and has definitely become my woods gun. If I didn't have that though, I might just spring for this S&W. The grip on it looks just amazing, aside from all the other features. And having that dot on there would be the icing on the cake.

[@casualwoodchuck]

[@thebulky1cometh]

If you're comparing some tame 357, yes, 10mm can compete. But, apples to apples (barrel length), 357 smokes 10mm in terms of ft lbs of energy

I did have the g29 for a while, it was a cool gun but you don’t get the full potential of 10mm. You need a full size or long slide if possible to get max power out of it.

I recently decided that I'm going to buy the S&W M&P 10mm. I like the idea of having something close to the power of a 357 Magnum yet having the capacity of a typical double-stack 9mm, all in a slim (1.3-inch width), carry-able 9mm-sized package and with an overall great look, including a lovely finish on the slide. Also, affordable. Also, reputable company.

[@departed402]

In 2013 I inherited my great-uncle's S&W 1006. Since I knew I would be keeping that heirloom and would thus have 10mm ammo on hand. I bought a Glock 20. I'm very happy with 10mm.

I have heard that as well but I have sent about 500 rounds of bear loads through my 4". Underwood, Buffalo Bore, HSM, and some Federal hunting loads. No issues so far with and without a red dot.

[@JohnDoe-zg6fn]

I think that's fine. So many people complain about that, but the positive of it is that the 10mm is such a versatile cartridge for a variety of uses. When you CCW a 10mm (which I do CCW/EDC a TRP Operator 5" 10mm) you don't want to be carrying around full load super hot Underwood or Buffalo, you want to carry water downed rounds that have good penetration, but not too much amd is accurate and does rhe job right, something like a .40. But when you go out to the woods or hunting you want to be able to load in some super hot stuff like the named companies above. I use HST 200gr JHP when I'm out and about in town and when I go out to the woods I load it up with Xtreme Penetrators. So don't look at it in a negative view look at it in that the options to carry a variety of loads without having to change out the slides or barrels or magazines.

@@JCHumongous I hear ya, and the gun sounds awesome except for the sights. But being an experienced outdoorsman who carries a G20 for dangerous animal protection, I can tell you those sights will get hung up on sleeping bags, hiking clothes and hunting jackets if you need to draw it quickly. Same thing with IWB carry or shoulder holster carry for CCW. I'm surprised Nutn missed this in his review.

[@JCHumongous]

@@JohnB-dr8sk I carry a 500 magnum on a chest rig for my woods gun. I’m familiar with the debate about more rounds and better follow up but I don’t subscribe to that theory for a bear gun. One, I guarantee the recoil won’t be noticed if it came to a charging grizzly. Two I doubt in most cases you’d get more than a couple rounds off anyways and three, that first impact is the most critical and the power of that 500 is undeniable in comparison.

I love the 10mm Auto. It's my favorite pistol cartridge. The .357 Magnum of the semi-auto pistol world. I purchased my S&W M&P 10mm M2.0 4.6" w/ AMTS back in mid May 2022. IMHO, the AMTS is an absolute must on any striker-fired semi-auto pistol. On my very first outing (mid May 2022), I ran 216 rounds of 10mm Auto 180 Gr FN FMJ and 200 Gr FN HCL through it, and had one malfunction, a FTF, with the 200 Gr FN HCL. The weak stock 17-pound (17#) RSA just wasn't up to the job. The frame was getting heavily battered, and my shell casings were going ballistic, flying up to 30 feet. So I replaced the weak stock RSA with a 24# RSA, and the soft stock magazine springs for longer stronger 11-coil magazine springs from Springer Precision. Less than a $50 investment. To date (Nov2023), and an additional 2,100 rounds later (all 10mm Auto ammo), I've enjoyed 100% flawless, perfect functionality. Call it S&W M&P Perfection: ● 1,400+ rounds of various 10mm Auto 180 Gr FN FMJ ammo. ● 600+ rounds of Underwood 10mm Auto ammo, including JHP, ranging from 140 Gr Xtreme Penetrator up through 220 Gr FN HCL bear defense loads. ● 20 rounds of Buffalo Bore 10mm Auto 220 Gr FN HCL. ● 20 rounds of Steinel Ammo 10mm Auto 220 Gr FN HCL. Perfection. I always thoroughly clean and properly lubricate my guns every time they're used. That's just Basic Responsible Gun Ownership 101. This pistol is extremely reliable, highly accurate, very easy to shoot well, and wonderfully ergonomic. I'm very happy to say this pistol has replaced / retired my Gen3 Glock 20SF, which I've since sold off. Good things! 👍

I’ve been appendix carrying my 2.0 4” 9mm for years now. Many many times I’ve worn it against bear skin while appendix carrying with no issues. That being said 4/5 o’clock position is brutal.

[@MrHrKaidoOjamaaVKJV]

From other testers, of the S&W 2.0, Flat Nose bullets including Hard Cast Leaf Flat Nose bullets generally do not have feeding and firing problems.

[@klinec38]

Its kind of validating to hear you say some companies neuter their 10mm loads. I figured that out after a conversation with a coworker and doing the math myself. Some companies max out the capabilities of the cartridge, some companies max out the capabilities of their supply chain.

[@steven3379]

Just got the p320 X10, i had a p320xf 9mm, i really liked the grip on that so i got the X10 to replace it!

[@18ipmg]

Glock 20 is the same size in my hand as a 19 in most people’s. It’s just a scaled up 19 for me. Easy to carry for big guys. 10mm if you need to work anywhere near barriers.

[@bettycocker2226]

....so a 17?

[@Ryan-hw4ug]

great review as always

[@weduhpeople8504]

Don Johnson of the Maimi Vice loved the Bren 10. The FBI tried it but was deemed to be too much recoil so the 40 sw cartridge was born for LEO use.

[@hoosiered471]

Never understood why most 10mm target ammo is "flat tip?" It really hinders the feeding process, especially on 1911 models. Is there any true "round nose" 10mm out there????

[@jreeder3]

I just got the compact m&p 10mm. Luckily I reload so I can put rounds down range at my will. For some reason took me several hundred rounds to really get comfortable with this one. I’m a big m&p fan

[@JohnJohnson-bo5sv]

can you elaborate a bit on the real world cost of reloading this round for newbies who are just getting their feet wet. thanks

[@jreeder3]

@@JohnJohnson-bo5sv - lot of variables here. But middle of road, not counting brass I’m at about $0.25 a round. On upper end If I’m loading a bear round then it would bump to closer to .65, again not including brass and many variables to consider here.

I thought about getting the 4.6 version but I'm going to use Underwood or Buffalo Bore for hunting deer

[@kevinclause4p55p5]

I bought a Sig xten because I loved my 9mm p365 bought in 2020, well after the primer drag issue was solved. Specifically, I loved the night sights, trigger, and my trust in Sig. I put 250 rounds downrange through the xten with 2 hiccups in the first 100. The 2 mags have a hole labeled 15, but I prefer to load them to 14. After 3 weeks of uncomfortable belt carry, it ended up in my bag. I bring it with me to the mall and outdoorsing. It is capable of the Dicken drill. I didn't choose a Smith and Wesson 10mm because despite loving the way it feels in my hand the sd40ve was inaccurate. Their ar-15 has mediocre accuracy. My 629 has been a reliable machine, but I wouldn't try the Dicken drill with it. One good gun Smith and Wesson makes is the 360pd and I carry it. If you get used to it, no other gun has recoil. All that said, if I had a do over, instead of the xten, I'd buy a Glock g40. The 6 inch barrel has major second cool. It still fits in my bag. The 3 mags actually hold 15, but most importantly the Glock g40 is the most accurate handgun I've ever fired.

[@breckfreeride]

Get both

[@dktk4136]

I want a S&W 10 but I can't find extra mags for it. Love my G20.

[@johnw4999]

10mm Norma Spec cartridges were designed (by men with extensive gunfighting experience) specifically to stop two-legged threats. While powerful, it’s only ~300 fps faster than .40S&W. A byproduct is “bear defense,” but it’s no .357/.44 Magnum. I started carrying a 10mm 31 yrs ago, and absolutely love it. My favorite is the XTEN and mine has just over 4K flawless rds through it. Since Sig won’t get off their 4th point of contact and release a XTEN Carry (4-in barrel), I bought a S&W 2.0 Compact 10mm, replaced the tall sights with factory stnd height tritium sights and an Apex trigger (gunsmith installed). Oh, the factory trigger’s initial take-up is half a mile… meant half an inch or thereabouts… crazy long anyway. It carries as nicely as a similar size 9mm. I carry AIWB exclusively. I use Floyd’s +1 with the gun (16+1 capacity) and +5 on some spare magazines. The XTEN manages Norma spec cartridges recoil the best of all 10mm pistols I own. The ergonomics are fantastic (for me), but the 2.0 Compact is still very comfortable to shoot and is the best concealed carry 10mm I have (I like it better than the SA 3.8 Compact 10mm).

[@hibs5516]

I don't doubt that. The 10mm is a flat shooting cartridge. Its got the power to do the job with one shot, without having so much recoil that its hard to stay on target. It'll shoot through cover. It has good range. I got one because I needed something for two and four legged threats. I was looking at a two guns for those jobs, and went with one that does both. Also. The sound. Thats a got dang warning shot if Ive ever heard one. You get in a fight with a bunch of 9mm and .40 popping. This round is audible above those, and it says "I mean it!".

[@Swampytheroot]

I picked up a 4" version this weekend. 553 out the door. With the rebate (which is a pre-paid credit card for $100), 453 total. 10 bucks more for the 4.6" version. I went to buy a Gen5 G20. Tried the M&P 2.0 and just loved it. The fact it's 150 less (after rebate) for a more comfortable piece is Pure Gold.

[@maraudersr1043]

Been eyeballing this gun as an upgrade from my S&W 1006 10mm due to capacity limitations. Thanks for your review. Please Please Please review the CMMG Banshee 10mm as I am considering that one as a wrol must have.

Bought one yesterday, same sku 13389. Last one in the store. $599. Plan to shoot it today. Thanks for the review.

[@Bittlicious]

I'd be curious if the shorter variant of this pistol would cycle lower pressure rounds since it's less slide mass.

[@echofoxtrotwhiskey1595]

They might have upped the spring weight though

[@ChrisLoew]

Eject the dovetail sights the same way the brass gets ejected from the barrel once fired. When pointing the pistol down range, the sights remove to the right, rear sight unscrew first. Shield ez release tension from inside slide and it falls out super easy.

[@Roosterboy_00]

The medium large grip made a big difference for me. Medium was ridiculously small and large was comically big. Medium large was perfect so I really like that they did that

[@XSpector88]

Not to be Captain Pedantic but that's the ACSS Vulcan reticle variant 507C, the circle is 250 MOA and the chevron is 10 MOA. The standard 507C has the 32 MOA circle/ 2 MOA dot. I definitely prefer the ACSS, such an intuitive pistol optic.

[@1968CudaGuy]

Bought my longslide S&W 10mm about 6 months ago. Changed to the smallest grip module, installed a Vortex Venom optic, and put a full sized Streamlight TLR-1HL to help with recoil management. Not cheap to feed though. Loaded 9mm and 40S&W for years so I got a set of 10mm specific Hornaday dies and started loading 165gr and 180gr FMJ and JHP bullets. Have had a Tanfolio Witness in 10mm for 20 years but it is so heavy I never really carried it... This I will carry.

[@bryanmackey1690]

Did you use the stock plastic mounting plate for the venom optic? How’s it holding up?

[@jimm244]

XDM-E 3.8” in 10mm. I like having the grip safety for chest carry in the woods. I found some hard cast 200gr at 1150 fps. Not quite Buffalo Bore (which is unobtainable in these parts), but not too far off. There are some “Bear Loads” out there that are only 180 gr and 1050 fps. Maybe an ok round for lesser critters, or maybe they just have small bears somewhere. 😂

[@mfallen6894]

Buffalo Bore ships anywhere unless you're in HI (even ship to CA) Their 220 flat-nose hardcast are the only 10mm round I'll carry for black bear. For brown, 10mm just isn't enough. .44mag 305gr minimum on brown/griz just due to their disposition, and really I want a .475 (.480 ruger or .475 Linebaugh) or larger projectile. But yeah, black bear will tend to flee when you inflict pain, hence why .357/10mm is considered sufficient (that and 300-400lb is the biggest one usually sees, though I've seen some monsters that were as big as inland browns on occasion) Brown/griz, if they've got their mind set on attacking, you need a kill shot or debilitating shot like busting up the shoulder to stop the attack. 10mm can do it if you hit the brain, but in the times I've been bluffed by griz they would have been on top of me after one shot, which is why I put no stock in capacity in WY/MT/ID/AK as you'll never have time to fire more than a few shots. Hitting a softball-sized target, moving at you about 25mph, bouncing up/down... Yeah, not easy! lol. With the really big projectiles at least they have a better chance of penetrating into the chest vitals or hitting/breaking a shoulder, etc should you miss the brain. But if you can't shoot a .454 or .475 worth a damned it doesn't matter how much more energy or projectile mass the bring to the fight.

[@brettsharbono3022]

Hey, LTC! I have notice that in 10mm vids nobody says…”it’s to snappy so I’ll stick to 9mm”. But every time I check a .40 S&W vid everybody says the same thing….40 is to snappy and they prefer the 9mm. Your thoughts!

Truth! There's just some that find a reason to hate .40S&W...even if they never owned one. I also like the people that hate the .45ACP cartridge saying its antiquated...but love their 9mm cartridge created 3 YEARS BEFORE the .45ACP. 😂🤣😂

I'm one of the 3 people who actually changed the backstrap on my 9mm 2.0. Takes about 90 seconds. I have small hands, so it helps me. I can live with the abrasive grips. I would like to get the 10mm, mostly for second cool, but I would like it for handgun hunting. In NC they changed the laws for handgun hunting a few years ago, so now you can use basically any centerfire handgun. We have deer and feral hogs, and it seems like it would be perfect.
