im waiting for this to happen. i really dont understand why they arnt pushing these hard cause the market is EXTREMELY hot right now for 3.6-4 inch pistols.
Yeah I wanted to buy one but they were out of stock at the time. I have since switched to the SRO on this pistol but haven’t shot it yet. I’m hoping that overhang on the SRO will help out with the carbon issue.
Kind of optic specific on the carbon issue. I have multiple M&P pistols, the 2 that I shoot the most is 4" compact and a full size spec series, both have Holosun 509T optics on C&H Precision adapter plates. Those optics sit further back on the slide than your optic (approx. 3/16"), I don't get any carbon on optic glass. I thought about trying an Apex trigger, never shot with one. But did install a Timney trigger in the full size pistol, little light for a duty pistol but man is it awesome for range or competitive shooting. I have not shot the metal M&P yet, a friend just purchased one but no range trip yet, I am looking at the new Spec Series metal with comp.
I had a 508t mounted on my polymer 2.0 and I had the same issue with the carbon, albeit not as severe. That comped version looks like it would be a sweet shooter for sure!
@@MagDumpGuns - Several others sit forward against the slide cut like an RMR. The 509T on C&H plate sits 3/16" back from slide cut, guess that's just enough to not have the carbon issue.
My LGS is working on getting me one as a first responder (Firefighter/EMT). He hasn't heard back from S&W yet, but the pistol is currently out of stock anyway.
The ACRO plate was aftermarket - FCD. I have since put a holosun 507 comp on it using the factory plate with no issues. My most recent M&P since this one actually came with a metal RMR plate from the factory so maybe they changed that.
That gun is badass. I just bought an M&P CORE 4" and I got an Apex trigger on the way. I put a Votatu dot on it, and that's my first optic. I'm trying to get used to it and the M&P trigger.
Nice I’m trying to source the core slide and barrel with no luck. I know Smith and Wesson used to sell the core kit but not available anywhere now. If anyone has a place that sells them lmk.
Love the M&P line, I have the 1st gen still and a couple 2.0's. I think Smith & Wesson messed up with these metal frame 2.0's. They should be around 40 oz Total weight and should've came with a Apext trigger from the box.
That would be a cool option for a top of the line competition focused pistol, but I feel like they have something special here with the aluminum frame as a duty or defensive handgun that will be carried for extended periods of time.
So hard to answer! I love both and would trust either with my life. I have many thousands of rounds through Glocks so I probably feel a bit more comfortable with them but you can’t go wrong with either. I do feel that these two are at the top of the striker fired game.
Badass looking pistol but I wish they made a steel frame. Aluminum doesn’t add enough weight to make it that much different from the polymer I would think.
you must have gotten lucky. This gun can't be found or purchased. I don't understand why this is classified as a Law Enforcement Only gun. Just because it's black? So dumb.
@@MagDumpGuns Do you think it's worth the extra $$. I can get a fullsize polymer with 2.0 trigger and threaded barrel for $600. Also, I want to know what you think about that lose front strap on the metal.
Give it a year of use. Aluminum alloy dents fades and scratches very easy. Just look at any big revolver that is alloy or has the alloy barrel shroud. Looks like crap. Too much money. Trigger is no better than the poly.
Yeah the mag well is definitely showing some use already. On the other hand, AR receivers are aluminum and take a ton of abuse. Maybe won’t be pretty anymore but that really doesn’t bug me too much.
