The Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 - The most underrated pistol and my newest purchase.

[@jeffreylocke8808]

I bought the M&P 2.0 10mm with a 4.625 inch barrel and no safety lever. Got it quad ported by Mag-Na-Port and installed a HEAVY over size tungsten guide rod from Carver Custom using a supplied 17 pound recoil spring non captured. X/S tritium optic height steel sights with a 508T Holosun red dot on an aluminum base mounting plate. Used blue loc-tite on the stainless steel screws. Apex flat black aluminum safety trigger and more. I love mine.

[@jayweth]

@@jeffreylocke8808 awesome setup!

[@ConcealedDaily]

So sick! Congrats on that!

[@gleamtarrest6310]

I have the non optics version with the curved trigger & loaded chamber indicator. Added an extended slide stop/relase & Ameriglow night sights & i have shot the shit out of it! What a no nonsense duty pistol!!

[@jayweth]

@@gleamtarrest6310 that's awesome! It's really simple but effective and a good experience

[@maxfit68906]

Been carrying an M&P on duty since 2018. Prior to that I carried the S&W 4006 TSW. Two different platforms giving me the same results. M&P’s are amazing firearms. I prefer them over Glocks for several reasons: metal sights, magazines and guide rod, better grip angle and trigger. They just came out with the comped series. Initial reviews are all positive. S&W continues to innovate.

[@jayweth]

@@maxfit68906 yes. All of this. I'm planning for the comp to be added to my inventory

[@ConcealedDaily]

@@jaywethI just got mine yesterday. Threw the holosun comp and tlr1HL in my tier one holster 🎉🎉🎉 it’s beautiful.

[@MattyMilitia]

Sold information. Definitely good watch for anyone getting into M&P or firearms in general

[@jayweth]

@@MattyMilitia thanks that means a lot.

[@ElmCreekSmith]

I have an older M&P9 2.0 FDE 5" with the ambi safeties & no optics cut. It is a bit big for concealed carry, bit it rides nicely in my GTW bag. I also bought a M&P9 FPC that came with one 18 round & two 24 round magazines that also fit the 5" M&P9.

[@jayweth]

@@ElmCreekSmith awesome! I love them all and want many more

[@Fullmetal_Sensei]

You know I was waiting for this one!! Didn't know that you could take the safety out until you told me. I wanted the black one but might have to grab this one for my dime bag build

[@jayweth]

@@Fullmetal_Sensei yea man it's gonna be super nice. Mine is already out for dimebag work. Super excited to get it back.

[@Brett235]

I bought the full size model that came with the threaded barrel, optics ready with suppressor height sights. I've had ut for about 4 months and haven't shot it yet. If it's anywhere near as good as my gen1 I suppose it will be solid.

[@jayweth]

It will be solid I'm sure of that.

[@jinan12]

Long time Glock shooter. Just went to the M&P 2.0 with an apex trigger and It's amazing to shoot. I will be getting it ported next.

[@jayweth]

@@jinan12 that's awesome. I'm sure you'll love it

[@toddtzm]

Just bought the 5” yesterday and waiting for it to arrive. Already have the apex flat, Kinetic Dogtag and frame plugs on order. I will EDC and use for nightly COF’s at my range. No ports or comps for me. Don’t want to lose an eye in CQE nor want the extra failure points. Can’t wait to receive. Tired of the Glock angle.

[@jayweth]

@@toddtzm congratulations!

[@mattnikirobidou]

Are you going to do the dimebag porting on the new 5 inch m&p? BTW that Echelon is incredible!

[@jayweth]

@@mattnikirobidou I did that and posted on my Instagram and then found someone who wanted to trade so we traded. 🤷🏼‍♂️ that's how it goes some times. But thank you the echelon is one of my faves.

[@jayweth]

@@jeremylyson8278 awesome!

[@Rich-eg6qb]

I'm a Glock fan.I started with them before the M&Ps were made. My son has several M&Ps. The M&Ps are a very under rated pistol. I have several (12) Glocks, almost a hundred mags and spare parts. If I started from zero I would go with the M&Ps. They are well made, they have the optional thumb safety and come with descent sights. My son has one with over 50k through it. He has replaced the recoil spring several times and an extractor. They hold up as well, maybe better, than a Glock.

[@jayweth]

@@Rich-eg6qb wow that's awesome stuff to hear. Thanks for watching and sharing. It's great when fathers and sons can grow and share in a hobby with different ways to still be successful

[@Donttreadonme2024]

THe new M&P trigger is excellent Its a waste of money to replace it. Smooth, good reset length and feel. I actually like my 2/0 with the new trigger over the one with the apex. they did cheap out on the optic plates. I have shot all kinds of guns, carried a glock on duty for years. Ill take my 2.0 over any of them.

[@jayweth]

@@Donttreadonme2024 good stuff man!

[@dirtberger4533]

Great video.

[@jayweth]

@@dirtberger4533 thanks!!

[@LiorIPSC]

Been shooting 5" M2.0s since 2018 in competition with optics and think that they are awesome. X5 Legions and Shadow 2s are slightly more forgiving and fast to shoot, but I just like the Smith more.

[@jayweth]

@@LiorIPSC that's awesome 👏🏻

[@jeremylyson8278]

The m&p 2.0 is what got me away from glock. Ive always loved the shorter slide. The 4.25 is my favorite. Just feels more balanced for me. I just got the new m&p metal comp. I love it! I shoot it faster than my competitor. Feels more balanced, and the comp definitely makes a difference to me.

[@jayweth]

@@jeremylyson8278 I agree. I love the weight and grip angle ergonomics

[@seandurns110]

Good video. I shot and primarily carried Glocks for years before trying out DA/SA with CZ and then Beretta. All great, but I kept going back to the Glock which, after decades of running, I was more proficient with. In October of last year I began to transition to M&Ps which, for me personally, seem to be the best fit. So much of this is personal preference--there are many great guns out there and what you practice with the most is probably what you'll do the best with. But I think the M&P is criminally underrated. I still sometimes run my Langdon HKP30 LEMs or my Glocks, but more often than not I'm running an M&P. Once you get an Apex in there it is hard to beat--especially at the price point. Decent aftermarket, proven reputation, and, in my opinion, better ergos, steel mags, and better grip texture than a Glock. I don't tinker with mine much--I just Apex them and mill the slide for an optic. I've got the 4 and 4.25 configurations, as well as one of the 3.6 configurations (the one that has a shorter grip and is close to the G26 in size), but I'm looking at adding the 5 inch. It will be my IDPA gun this next season. Toying with getting the 3.6 ported by Floyds.

[@jayweth]

@@seandurns110 so much to unpack here but I hear you I've tried so many guns and keep trying more. It's like a game of king of the hill to see who tops who and I'm here for it. But time and time again my m&p is reliable and fits me best. I wish a 2011 would fit me but hasn't been the case. But who knows what the future holds I want a 3.6" next. That's on my list and the new carry comp series. I don't like to have multiples of the same gun but I'll make an exception for the m&p.

[@bbazzracing]

Love my M&P 2.0 Compact 3.6" with the new trigger. It's my fall/winter carry. Thinking about getting ported full size Performance Center.

[@jayweth]

That's great I love all of mine too!

@@TheBlessedOutlaw_MP I have no idea where lowers are found. I wish I knew. Maybe gunbroker?

[@TheBlessedOutlaw_MP]

@jayweth ok, thanks anyway bro.

[@MrOutcast420]

I'm a former M&P guy mostly because of grip angle. I had to switch out to Glock due to work. Restrictions have now been lifted, so now I'm stuck between the Echelon and the M&P. Is there anything you could point out or recommend thinking of to help with choosing one over the other in out of the box condition ?

[@jayweth]

@@MrOutcast420 I can't say I'd be helpful. I love the echelon too. The weight of the m&p is so great but the ergonomics of the echelon is awesome with the optic mounting system is tough to beat. Out the box I would lean towards the echelons with the optic mounting system the ergonomics and potential for upgrades. The m&p is great but is limited.

[@MrOutcast420]

@jayweth thats the same direction I was leaning towards, but there is always that temptation to buy a base model M&P and build it up out of habit. The Echelon seems to have all the essential mods already done for about the same price, so it just seems like the more practical option. Thanks !

[@jayweth]

@ totally agree.

[@swenswenson556]

Just like you. Have an Echelon which is the softest recoiling 9mm I've ever shot, especially for how light it is. But I don't like the backstrap system (feels less secure) and the grip angle still sucks. The M&P shoots more accurate for me, feels like a more solid gun, and I can get just about any part I need for it from MANY different places. Not to mention the overall costs (mags, parts, etc) are less. Try ordering spare parts from Springfield. Best of luck with that. They REFUSE to offer them. No bueno....

[@jayweth]

@@swenswenson556 this is so great to hear. I'm glad you have options and I'm hopeful more parts for the echelon will come out.

[@Chris-rh5lv]

[@impolite2n1p3r8]

@@jayweth ​​⁠I bought one from classic firearms had it picked up Monday. I haven’t shot it yet, but just a feel on the trigger for a Shire gun it’s comparable to the TTI combat. It’s definitely better than a 365. I’ve been sleeping on Smith and Wesson. Cause I never bought another after the sve40 🤮 the cosmetics and comp alone sold me on this carry comp. And I get it home and try the trigger and it’s smooth asf and apex trigger only makes it better

And I’ve been carrying a 365xl with the Icarus evo grip. So weight difference is nothing to me I like all metal heavy guns. I just needed to decide first if I want to put a light on it and get a holster or just a holster without a light Winters coming so I’ll carry it

Have you looked into Floyd’s custom shop or do you have any experience with their work?? They’re like the originators of custom slide work on the M&p 2.0 when I bought mine in early 2018. I’ve been looking to get some slide work done and can’t decide between them and monsoon tactical. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also I agree s&w is superior to Glock. Points 10 times better and much better out of the box.

[@jayweth]

I have looked at Floyd's. They do great work however I prefer inline ports only and not as many slide cuts to maintain more slide weight for recoil management. Floyd's does different stuff that is incredible just not my preference
