Just picked up a package with this model that came with two 23 rd mags with it and a bag for $500 from Academy. Two 15 rd, two 23 rd and the option for 17 rd mags is great!
I am a huge fan of the M&P LINE. That flat faced trigger is fine enough for me. It's a gun for self defense. Looking for this exact firearm with the 3.6" barrel to go with my SHIELD PLUS which I just got 15 round mags for, and my SHIELD 45acp!!! 💪💪💪💪
I just picked up the Shield Plus and still can't get over how good the trigger is on it. Just phenomenal. I'm so glad S&W has started incorporating the new trigger into all their other models!
I noticed the weird reset as well. The reset has a bounce which I've found it is because of the striker block. I confirmed this by putting my Performance Center slide on it which has more of a rounded striker block, vs the flatter striker block. Also deburring the extension and polishing it makes it feel way smoother and less gritty.
Thank you for the video very informative for me, I just purchased the 3.6 version and love it, hope you make more videos in the future with the M&P i have been looking for a video of TLR8 on an M&P but no luck what is your opinion will it fit? God bless...
I found that the M&P 2.0 bundle at Academy Sports. It came with an M&P bag, M&P 9mm 2.0, two 15-round, and two 23 round magazine for $474. I got it last week for Christmas.
I just purchased this model with the threaded barrel today. I was about to purchase a G19x optics ready but the guy behind the counter talked me into the S&W. He is a retired highway patrol officer and he said that m&p pistols are superior in every way compared to a glock. I don't know either way but I do like this pistol. I will be getting the Glock at some point, when funds allow.
That is a big question, in your title are the 2.0 and the newer models really different and interchangeable?? I have about 5 2.0 and plan to work on two 4in frames, 2.0s, so I wondering if some of the newer slide will work on the 2.0 frames.
The new M&P trigger is garbage (2.0 3.6). The curved trigger is the only striker fired trigger, that feels like a real trigger. The new one has a ton of creep, and does not break cleanly like my older M&P's. Thousands of presentations from the holster, hundreds of hours training with the older trigger with supreme confidence. Now it feels like mushy dog doo, just like all the glocks sitting in my safe. Its too far away, and I cant get proper finger placement on the trigger to consistently break clean shots. Before if you didn't like the trigger you had options, you could buy an apex like all the other sheep do, but for people with medium, or even small hands, you now have no options. To my knowledge nobody make a short reach trigger. To put it in perspective. I trained for 20 years with nothing but glocks. I could never get past a certain plateau in terms of consistency. I got my first M&P, and initially did not like the trigger because it wasn't what i was used to. Once i figured it out, which took all of a few minutes of dry fire, my shooting went to new heights. My confidence went through the roof. I buy the compact to make it easier to carry, and it has a glock trigger in it. Pissed doesn't begin to cover it.
Everyone likes what they like, but I found the flat faced trigger to be a solid option out of the box. Reach is definitely a bit further which might feel weird for you. I’m wondering if yours has something wrong with it though. In my three examples they were all very good (maybe not quite great) triggers.
I’m here a year later watching this. Same boat as you mostly a Glock guy had a 1.0 when they first came out just hated the trigger and the first gen grip texture. Saw this flat face trigger and I optic cut and really want to commit. How is it a year later?
Still love this setup! I also picked up the 2.0 metal which I did a review of. I’ve been thinking about a 5 inch as well now that they are coming with the flat faced trigger.
Weird how people are still stuck on Glock… Glock Gen 5 is the best pistol they have and the MP9 M2.0 is leaps and bounds better, especially in the trigger department.
Depends on how moist you run the gun. I have a non LCI barrel on my P365, and it still gets gunked up if I am excessive with the lube. I if I have just cleaned the gun, I throw some tape over the dot, it doesn't stop me from using the dot, and it lets me blow out any extra lube. Realistically, getting stuff on your dot window isn't the end of the world. Id you are target focused you can cover the entire front window and be fine.
The reset doesn't need to be audible or tactile. Once the shot breaks you are already off the trigger and getting ready for an acceptable sight picture. Short resets are nice, but you can train yourself to go right to where the reset is before it happens.
@@Osprey1994 you can shoot almost any trigger doesn’t mean they are good. The m&p borders on a good trigger until you get to the reset. Training around the piss poor reset with todays options is not needed. So many better options. Especially if you are looking at a trigger through the lens as a competitive shooter… the reset just sucks and is the most important factor in speed of a trigger.
