The NEW

[@tomstroup8338]

The Man , The Myth , The Legend !!

[@Omnihil777]

We came full circle: They made polymer-guns to make them cheaper, lighter etc, the polymer-gun evolved and now they make them in metal again - because cool. I really love the looks, S&W got a hit there IMO.

[@remnard1]

Aluminum is just hard plastic. Jk. I hope it’s at least 6065 anodized.

[@OPatron24]

yeah looks nice and metal is better for reliability and could possible help with recoil

[@chrism4008]

I really love that Jerry works on his own guns

[@DavidScott-xv1sc]

Such a great shooter. And gotta be the best pistol review I've ever viewed. Thank you Jerry.

[@gcastelo]

This scenery is wonderful! A legend of simplicity! Congrats from Brazil! 👍🎯

[@JEstevez3511]

Always amazed at wall behind Jerry with all of the bullets and ammo boxes behind him from all the years of shooting. Would be cool to see a video of some of the more unique or rare items back there.

[@johnsolas81]

Never gets old, I’ve read his shooting style since the 90s and now early late 2000 thru KZbin

[@robertloomis6133]

Sir! You shoot for them they should give you anything you ask for ! Besides that you are one of the greats in the firearms industry! Thank you for all you do to make the industry great. 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@1312020m]

I love Jerry, watching his videos feels like hanging out with a cool grandpa who also happens to be a world class shooter.

[@sausage_fingers666]

Purchased mine 11 days ago. I'm 450 rounds in and love this thing.

[@MT_320]

My son and I have the honored to meet Jerry two times in one year, he shook my hands both times, what a great role model. And were just hillbillies in Montana

[@user-pr3ho5pz4m]

Jerry is one of a few that I enjoy watching. Very honest with his assessment of firearms.

[@williamhoppe4500]

It's funny that the reviewers that have been bad mouthing Smith and Wesson are not in the official reviewers loop. They are butt hurt as Smith didn't send them a gun to review. They typically praise guns made in Turkey because they are cheap. My Shield Plus and Equalizer are awesome American made guns that function flawlessly. I also applaud Smith and Wesson's CEO for standing up to the liberal gun banners in congress. I'll probably never purchase a race gun but enjoy Jerry and Smith and Wesson.

[@HammondArmory]

Or maybe the ones in "the official loop" are there because they are shills?? It's hard to believe most of the reviews because of bias either way...

[@chriscarnes87]

The only problem with S&W is they won’t sell you parts directly, you have to send their guns in.

[@williamhoppe4500]

@@HammondArmory All I'm saying is that my Smith and Wesson products, as well as those of my friends, work great, look good, are reliable and American made which is a big deal to me. Whether shills or butt hurt wannabe schills, the proof is the performance and whether the buyer is satisfied. Of course my opinion and yours are just that, opinions.

[@williamhoppe4500]

@@chriscarnes87 like Jerry said, there's a lawyer behind every blade of grass. You know what you're doing but maybe Bubba and Cletus would put the parts in wrong and blow their pointy little heads off.

Because SW sponsored shooters reviewing SW are gonna be 100% objective about the company product that pays them for a living.

[@j.robertsergertson4513]

Woohoo ! A modern METAL ,striker fired pistol .I can't wait to get one

[@joshuabaker5712]

I was super proud of myself with a 2.06 at the bill drill.sode match last year at CO nats. Mr. Jerry pops a 2.18 and says its a slow controlled 6 shots. Got to love this guy. Also i just picked up my first S&W and it is the metal 4.25. This thing is awesome. Feels very close to a 1911, amd trigger is really good for a stryker fired gun.

[@jefferyhoward1150]

It’s hard to watch JM shoot slow. Looks like a really nice firearm.

[@sirfrydryk360]

So true! So use to him saying" this will only take a second "

[@LS1007]

Looks like a winner. Thanks Jerry. Have a great day! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@shirolee]

YES!!! I've been asking and waiting for a metal framed M&P and especially a competition version after the first metal frame came out.

[@joeplugge9840]

Jerry is so fun to watch. He exudes confidence and experience. Never seems condescending.

[@danandha]

I’m so glad to see your review. I just bought that same pistol last Saturday and I haven’t been able to fire it yet now I’m glad I did buy it. Thank you for your review.

[@jeffreylazu6692]

Purchased it today just need wait a week for background here in jersey 😅 . Have you gotten around to shooting yours yet?

[@RobnPhx1]

Gorgeous pistol! I like that you can disassemble it without pulling the trigger. S&W semi-auto's have come a long way over the years. Now, if I could only afford one!

[@Hotlog69]

I am happy for the resurgence of metal guns! 😁😁

[@jamesdelong6401]

I REALLY love these two last new 2.0 metal pistols from Smith&Wesson. I know I'll be purchasing the 1st 2.0 metal next Saturday. Then the Competitor 2.0 metal in January. I've been doing the review on the 1st 2.0 metal for the last month. Leraning the whole breakdown of the pistol. I even ordered up a dry fire kit from G-site to practice with the pistol when I get it and to train my eyes to focus before I get the pistol I ordered up Chris sajnog shooters string. Love this product. Since I've had it a week now. My focus is GREATLY improved

[@footballa57]

I have been saying the same thing about S&W empty chamber indicators for years!!! They cause debris to get on the window of your optic. Which is why I always tell people to get it milled so you can put that rear sight in front to solve that problem. Thanks you for being truthful about their products Jerry.

[@TBullCajunbreadmaker]

To be a professional exhibition shooter you have to be able to know enough about what you are shooting in order to get the gun to run like you want it to. I'm in no way up to Jerry's calibration but I am calibrated too only on a different level. I wish I could shoot as often as Jerry but I don't have access anymore to our old family property. Sold! Hopefully I can find another piece somewhere, and I will have total control over that one. Getting hard to find places to shoot any more. You can at least still go and shoot off of the bridges in the country and shoot water mocassins in the spring. Good shooting Jerry, I like that S&W. Wonder if it comes in .30 carbine?

[@bradneu4928]

just bought that same gun , love it , having trouble with that red dot still may just open sight that gun , but glad to see you like it , thanks again

[@Angel-ly6bp]

I have been waiting for this video. Thanks Jerry

[@JohnHilman1968]

I have one chambered in .40 S&W and I LOVE it. I added Odin Works mag extensions so I can do 17 rds. It's a beautiful thing

[@chrispearce9224]

I'm just gonna have to go put in an order for one of these babies. I have a version one M&P that is 7 or 8 years old....don't remember. It has fired nothing but reloads from my bench and it has never let me down in the local pistol comps and 3-gun matches. Just a beast. I think the M&P is behind my XDM 5.25 by 8,000 rounds because I bought the M&P a year after the XDM.

[@chrispearce9224]

LoL. That's a long way of saying I want to go order a Metal 2.0.

[@raykettel1837]

I enjoyed the details of how this MP is different than the polymer models that preceded it. I did not get those details from some of the other channels that released videos on day 1 of its release.

[@DavidJSamko]

Haven’t gotten to shoot the metal yet, but I did handle it at the store and the the trigger was like butter. Would love to try it at the range.

[@HenkduPlooy-ym3ed]

Your are still a legend. Greetings from South Africa

[@deniceouellette7216]

I love my metal 2.0. Great shoot, so accurate & fun.

[@deniceouellette7216]

Wish I knew about the competitor before though. Love long guns.

[@cameronsimonton2515]

Are those actually useable front serrations 😊 Also agree…the “chamber” indicator is a waste-difficult to see in good light, forget it in the dark; press check (or better yet, look at Taurus tactile chamber indicator on the side)

[@Casket-Man]

Now they just need a steel frame version and I'll be interested.

[@ryanbb474]

When Jerry says let’s do fast shooting… prepare for GOAT

[@jmannn1993]

Your the best Jerry! GOAT

[@GeorgeT6566]

I have always liked a Metal frame guns. I own some Beretta's and a few other full metal frame guns and I like them all. Might just have to give this one a try.

[@coreymoyers5771]

Wow, you don't like that chamber indicator too. Since we use optics now, I've never understood why they keep putting those in guns. There are other methods of chamber indicators that don't blow carbon on the optic lens. Just pick one and use it.

[@gregmcmurray9593]

Beautiful review and some mighty fine shootio. I got mine home today. Anxious to get it to the range. The trigger is different than my Walther PDP. Dry fire the Walther feels better but you can't obviously go y that. It will be interesting to see the S&W vs the Canik Rival SFX S. Two all metal guns with exactly the same price. Keep them g#ns coming.

[@saa6751]

Jerry could make any gun appear amazing.

[@BikeThrottleOfficial]

Would love a tour of Jerry’s gun room

[@jasonm9264]

Yesss!! Would need to be a mini series lol

[@tonysopranoshorse1215]

I’m wondering why S&W decided to make the frame aluminum. As the metal gun weighs just about the same as the polymer 5 inch m&p. Competition wise, I would think people would prefer all steel for the additional weight. Just a thought, not completely disregarding the gun.

[@smann9816]

Agreed!

[@alexmar1382]

Cost

[@jshannon5771]

Less flex of the frame would be my guess = better accuracy.

[@musicman1eanda]

This is what I've been screaming from the rooftops since this released. How does a Turkish company like Canik realize this better than an American company with the release of their Rival Steel model?

[@ronaldwilliams3495]

you helped me to make my final decision. Goin get it!

[@brianthurber2713]

Dude called it "trick". Love it old man!

[@bradalan7188]

Thats still a great group for us mere mortals...

[@NorthwoodsShooter]

Smith & Wesson should have never got away from their 3rd Gen line of pistols. These represented the peak of their products.

[@dchil15]

They represented the time period they existed in. The world has moved beyond the steel frames and hammer fired actions.

[@Okebejoey]

Still love my 3913.

[@brianmoore1164]

I wholeheartedly approve of more firearms being made from metal! I am way beyond bored with plastic guns. 🔫

[@snake13x]

Smith & Wesson needs to make all of their 9mm pistols have large enough ejection ports so that you can interchange different caliber barrels and magazines. That's why I bought my original Smith & Wesson M&P in 40 S&W, so I could change out the barrel and use it as a 9mm or a 357 Sig. This modularity is very useful and helpful (at this point you might as well sell all M&P's with Optics ready cuts in the slides and threaded barrels on everything in addition to installing APEX triggers). Also I noticed the new fully metal Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 no longer has the detent in the way of the slide stop/release (is about time if you ask me, that slide stop detent was nothing but trouble). Also make the trigger guard larger so there's enough room to use a heavy glove for winter. I also like how Glocks triggers stay in the rear position when they are not cocked.

[@aturboford1]

So can lefty’s use the right side “slide stop” as a slide release again? That’s the hugest letdown on the 2.0s. It’s a massive engineering cop out for a modern striker fired gun to not have a functioning slide release.

[@matthewdropco]

It would be interesting to see that pistol in 10mm!

[@paulpugh2480]

Its good to hear from you Jerry.

[@michaeldoe4805]

I have never understood the problem with pulling the trigger of an EMPTY (safe) gun. Is it a technical issue that causes damage to striker or a psychological issue at user's end? Why would anyone have any problem with pulling the trigger of an EMPTY gun? If you say oh well it may not be completely empty, then we have a much bigger problem in our hands. If you cannot verify and be sure if any particular firearm is in safe condition, what are you doing trying to disassemble it?? I really cannot understand. My only explanation is psychological issues on user's end. If your firearms handling practices are based on feelings, fears, probabilities, chances, and other beliefs rather than evidence and reason, you should not handle firearms. I get that manufacturers have to include those features to fulfill the sales requirements, but if you are having psycgological troubles pulling the trigger of an EMPTY gun on your bench to disassemble it, it think you owe it to your self to have a hard look at your own firearm handling practices.

[@1014p]

Any striker fire should be fine to shoot empty. At most maybe some striker pins are a softer metal and my deform. I dont know of any with this issue.

[@sethrich5998]

The reason the M&P has that disassembly feature is that some police agency’s had policies that services weapons had to be able to be disassembled without pulling the trigger. It was a requirement that was gaining popularity with police departments in the early 2000’s when the M&P was introduced. It was entirely a design choice to get more law enforcement contracts that’s carried over ever since, even though most departments have gone away from that type of requirement.

[@BanditApache-nd6lu]

I have no problems pulling the trigger for disassembly.

[@KnivesSurvival]

Love that gun!!

[@keithwatkins2643]

Love to see a comparison between this and a Canik SFT or SFX.

[@maxfit68906]

Already own the 2.0 Metal 4.25 inch. All I would need is for S&W to just sell the Competitor slide assembly and barrel.

[@Yahweh-Chase-Bella]

These are really sharp looking guns. I just wish they weren't pushing $900 when it's said and done. I just got a Canik Rival for my first pistol, I am looking for a 2nd one that's a little smaller to carry

[@Sticks0915]

The video I've been waiting for since I saw this pistol released. My question is how are you liking that trigger. I tried and M&P 2.0 polymer and didn't like that hinged trigger. The new trigger looks similar to an Apex. So if this is going to be your 3 gun pistol, would be cool to see a video on what mods you plan to make to it for you for competition

[@mikewithers299]

That's the same factory trigger in the Shield Plus and I love it. My other 3 M&Ps had the hinged triggers. I do well with all but I love the flat trigger the best.
