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.

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

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?

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 Жыл бұрын
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.

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 Жыл бұрын
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 Жыл бұрын
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.
