The NEW CA S&W M&P 2.0 Pistol Review

The NEW CA S&W M&P 4.0 Pistol Review
Chris and I discuss and shoot the latest gun to come to CA. The Smith and Wesson M&P 4.0 9mm

[@Gunny_101st]

Just picked up one of these about a month and a half ago. I absolutely love it. My new favorite handgun. But it will be my last firearm purchase in California. Not buying any more guns here. Next weapons I purchase will be as a Nevada resident. Sick of the bullshit here.

[@ToddCotta]

Have fun in Nevada!!

[@solidstream13]

Congratulations. Ya the BS is pretty deep here.

[@gusm2752]

Enjoy life in free America. 👍🇺🇸

[@jazzzman1000]

Just picked mine up and shot it this week, LOVE IT!!

[@559mnvcs4ever]

Great video as always. Look forward to these videos everytime they come out. I'll be there Sunday for the range.

[@ToddCotta]

See you then!!

[@stewNdrums]

I had been wanting the M&p 2.0 for quite some time. I was excited when it finally made it to the roster, UNTIL I saw how neutered the CA version came. I started comparing the newly added handguns and ended up going with the Hellcat pro. The M&P is still on my wishlist, but knowing the standard version can be had for much cheaper, I just couldn't settle for the California version. I'm hopeful one day we'll have access to the standard versions of these handguns.

[@ToddCotta]

Good choice.

[@stewNdrums]

​@@ToddCotta UPDATE: I'll be picking this up soon. With the sin tax near, I figured I would just get it now. 😅

[@dz_gt500]

The 2.0 lineup is nice. I’ve now shot shield plus and it’s great. I like the feel of it in hand I’ve already added the pearce mag grip extensions and the tlr-6.

[@ToddCotta]

Sounds like a great mod.

[@dat1dude591]

Might consider picking that up grouping on the left was 👌 he seems to shoot better than a sherrif💯💯 cant wait to see more reviews with the new guy

[@ToddCotta]

Chris will be happy to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@65chevelle44]

Hello Todd from SLO County great review, i was in my local gunshop and saw one, feels nice in the hand and personally even better with a hogue slip on finger grip like I have on my shield. I'm hope they will release the 2.0 in the Tungsten version here in California love the look of the 2.0 metal. Have a great weekend 😊

[@ToddCotta]

Thanks for sharing

[@javierr1588]

Please review the CZ SP01.

[@ToddCotta]

We have reviewed CZ guns before, but the SP01 is an older gun. I am sure there are tons of youtube videos with that gun. Thanks for asking.

[@rolandoherrera5416]

Would love to get my hands on the metal version. Is there any restrictions that would prevent that from happening ? How likely is it be added to the roster or even the competition version

[@ToddCotta]

The Roster is a mystery. I would hope that it does . There are laterally hundreds of guns pending right now. We will see what happens in the courts. Maybe there will be no more roster to worry about.

[@musicman7773]

I got the 4' and the trigger is nice. Might get the 5" one too

[@ToddCotta]

Go for it!!!!!

[@richardescareno2433]

When does the VP9 9mm come to California?

[@ToddCotta]

Within the month I hope.

[@louiegonzalez4599]

Any idea what pricing will be on that vp9?

[@ToddCotta]

Around 900 bucks. Not cheap.

[@louiegonzalez4599]

​@@ToddCottathe picture I've seen showed it was optic ready at least.

[@Munky332]

God the stupid ass roster needs to go, that or I need to hurry up and retire and get released from this hellhole (military, not here by choice, fuck this place, no offense... came from a much free-er state of PA -- 16 months to go). At the very least, why the hell is the Ruger LCP MAX not on the roster? why are the gun Stealerships here charging like 800$ for the damn Sig P365, just because it has a manual safety?

[@ToddCotta]

That's price is because Sig raised our cost by over $200 bucks. We hate that price too.

[@jackmac66]

Can I add optics ?

[@ToddCotta]

You have to purchase a new optics ready slide of you want to do that. Sorry :( Thanks for watching!

[@DonCarter1776]

I just got mine. I like it. 😁

[@ToddCotta]

Glad you like it.

[@ToddCotta]

.

[@ThePoorBoy]

The one that you have looks like the full size 2.0.

[@ToddCotta]

It is a 4 inch. Full size

[@mgtowski395]

Mag lock?

[@ToddCotta]

CA requires a magazine disconnect feature that disables the trigger if the magazine is not in the firearm. It is super dangerous and difficult to dry practice with this feature. That is why I only buy guns without this feature. Thanks for asking!

[@CaptainSugarToes]

this is most likely going to be my first purchase but I haven’t even tested the gun to test the shooting and determine if it’s the right one for me.

[@ToddCotta]

It is an excellent gun now that they added the enhanced trigger. Thanks for watching!

[@CaptainSugarToes]

@@ToddCotta nice, I called around to test and do they don’t have an option to rent and shoot so it looks like I’m going to just buy the gun without testing it but I trust it

[@LeahEasley-h8g]

No Alex today ? No like

[@ToddCotta]

He will be in future videos.

[@Noitora22]

Yooooo where’s Alex?!

[@ToddCotta]

Alex has taken another job outside of the gun industry. We will do more videos together.

[@gc641]

IMO all gun should have a safety……nice gun hmmmmm

[@ToddCotta]

No safeties are just a way to make guns even less safe. Any requirements are too many. I personally don't like guns with safeties. They should always be ready. Thanks for watching!

[@gracedagostino5231]

Appreciate the reviews on the new roster handguns. Also, your honesty about trigger quality, good and bad. The HK VP9, and HK VP9sk are now on the roster, can't wait until you get the chance to review them.

[@ToddCotta]

We will soon.

[@DarthVader-xz6vu]

Love the reviews. Love your channel. Thanks guys. For helping California Gun owners.

[@ToddCotta]

Thanks for commenting. We are trying our best to get this state turned around.

[@corngames8982]

Todd has been takin down at the range, good job Chris!

[@ToddCotta]

Hey I never called myself the best

[@n.elliott9122]

For the past 6 months I've had the extended threaded barrel and RMR cut version of that in Tennessee. It's a deadly accurate phenomenal gun and equally enjoyable to shoot as my shadow systems. With the shadow systems having a slightly better trigger with a .100 of an inch trigger reset.

[@ToddCotta]

Very cool.

[@xc_4x4]

Appreciate you guys making this video. Doing research on firearms is very spotty if you live in California IMO as a beginner. I feel like you need to look up info that relates specifically to California to get a better idea of the gun

[@ToddCotta]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@tommartin1223]

4.0? Shouldn't it be 2.0? Would have been nice if optics ready

[@ToddCotta]

I agree.

[@stevel3o7]

is there a 10mm model that is CA compliant ?

[@ToddCotta]

type CA Gun Roster in google. Take a look for yourself.

[@sergiovillanueva7688]

Is the 5” model California compliant or is the 4.25” the biggest you can get?

[@ToddCotta]

Only the two are available right now. Not the longer five inch. We will see if SW brings it to CA. I really like the Metal Competition. Thanks for asking!

[@sergiovillanueva7688]

@@ToddCotta thanks for your response. I live in Washington and could potentially be moving to CA in the future. This will certainly effect my choice in what size model to pickup. Thanks!

[@allantolentino4437]

My gosh, ive been waiting for this wohooo

[@ToddCotta]

Pretty cool gun!

[@criticaltinker]

i'm sorry but you never check if the gun is empty and safe.

[@ToddCotta]

Oh so you never saw what we did before filming. Just because we didn't show it on film does not mean it didn't happen. We had checked it probably five or six times while we prepped our strategy for the video content. But I guess if makes the viewers feel more comfortable, we will try to do it on tape if for nothing else to make the KZbin censors happy.

[@anthonynavarro101]

Is the M&p 2.0 Metal California compliant?

[@ToddCotta]

Not yet. We will see.

[@leesamuelson]

Actually the 4.25" is their full sized or their G17 model but has just a 1/4" shorter barrel but same 17RD grip. The 2.0 Compact is the G19 model for M&P. The 2.0 compact is 15rd grip 4" barrel. I have both versions but in Iowa they have optic cut. The slight grit one feels in take up can be reduced alot by putting a touch of Lucas gun grease on the safety plunger and the tab on the trigger bar that rolls over safety plunger. or polish both as you say. Grease does work well and after time rally smoothens out. I also have the 2.0 Metal which is the same gun basically as the this one but with aluminum grip module. I love mine and the new trigger IMO is one of the nicer ones out there.

[@ToddCotta]

Thanks for commenting!

[@wezakani510]

1st off I appreciate the honest and complete review. I live in California. So as you both put it our selections are dramatically short. I will be checking your channel for more reviews so that I am fully aware when I make my choices.

[@ToddCotta]

Thanks for sharing! At least there's more guns to choose from now. Thank you CRPA. Thanks for watching.

[@Obelisk57]

The LCI just makes me so angry. I have a P226 Mk25 that costed me $1200, that has the LCI and I don't even want to pick it up anymore 😢

[@ToddCotta]

Welcome to crazy CA laws. I hate the LCI also, but we have to do what we can. Thanks for watching!

[@julioc4635]

Hello I try this gun and I loved it. I have a question about the optics.. What's the cost of modification, etc or just better off buying another gun?

[@ToddCotta]

If you are from CA then you can purchase a new slide with optics cut, but there are not many options for us. Smith and Wesson has many guns with optics ready but not on CA roster. Thanks for asking!

[@douglascastellanos7889]

I live in California and i just picked one of these up. Will i be able to legally put an optic on it while still keeping it California compliant?

[@ToddCotta]

Absolutely..... changing sights on a gun is perfectly legal. I added one to my Echelon. Thanks for asking!

[@unknowndudewak]

Love this pistol, but mine is the 10mm version.

[@ToddCotta]

Big boomer!!

[@javieraguilar894]

I've been waiting for you guys to review this pistol!! Thanks! This is the pistol I've had my eyes on. Would you guys put it up against Sig's M18 in a video? Thank you guys.

[@ToddCotta]

We will see. I like it much better than the Sig.

[@juliangarrahan4152]

With the size of the loaded chamber indicator can you mill this slide for an optic ?

[@ToddCotta]

You would have to order a new slide aftermarket or from SW. It is really not set up for a cut, due to the LCI and some pins. Thanks for watcing!

[@depthcharge6215]

Grip is aggressive texture which is nice but may bother you for ccw appendix side.

[@ToddCotta]

Agreed

[@albertmedalla3941]

Really disappointed they didn’t make these additions optics ready

[@ToddCotta]

Many people are.

[@javieraguilar894]

In your opinion, will the METAL version make it to the CA roster?

[@ToddCotta]

I have no idea. But it likely will come.

[@jonathanh5134]

How is this different than the m and p shield plus that came out recently?

[@ToddCotta]

It's much bigger taller and wider.

[@YTnights]

I can not wait until they come with other calibers as well.

[@ToddCotta]

We will see! Thanks for watching!

[@jasonarellano8759]

It looks like a HKVP9's have also been added. Hope you do a video on those soon!

[@ToddCotta]

Coming soon!

[@markcmann]

Didn’t I see this review back in 2017? California tyrannical gun laws are so lame…

[@ToddCotta]

We shot the original 2.0 but it was not CA approved. "Lame" is a very nice way to put it.

[@davidwarring1572]

There's a 3.6 inch model of this gun, smith and Wesson told me they can't distribute it to 10 round compliant states because it's less then 4 inches I thought that was a California rule.

[@fposmith]

Yes, they do make this in a 3 1/2" !

[@ToddCotta]

3.6 inch is the smallest they make but it is not CA approved yet.

[@weduhpeople8504]

Do a video of the HK VP9 that was just added to the roster. I believe there will several models.

[@ToddCotta]

As soon as I can get one! Thanks for asking!

[@cscy.9402]

@@ToddCotta Thanks you for listening. Looking forward to your review of the VP9(SK)!

[@Mrcalifornia97]

Hellcat pro video?

[@ToddCotta]

Coming soon!

[@charlesmiller6826]

More choices, more better 😊

[@ToddCotta]

Yep

[@PhillipPins]

I'm still waiting and hoping for the Echelon.

[@ToddCotta]

It will be worth the wait! Thanks for watching!

[@scottmeyer9665]

Rumor has it, October.

[@blakegarner3719]

How does this compare to the XDM Elite?

[@ToddCotta]

The XDM Elite is a good gun, but the SW MP series is just a better gun. The XDM Platform is 12 years old and showing its age. I have owned an XDM for 12 years and it still works great! But the ergonomics are just better on the MP 2.0. thanks for asking!

[@peupeuguy310]

New HK as well !

[@ToddCotta]

I saw that.

[@jackwright9102]

Thanks again y'all..😊

[@ToddCotta]

Always welcome

[@stileshumphrey4195]

Nice pistol 👍. Thank you for the review!

Anytime!!!!
