Thanks JL for response! ATEi seem like good people - note that they loaned pistols for the event in Detroit where hundreds of women were introduced to handguns and their safety. Bullseye has become such a small part that I sense they are not keen on dealing with it. Your contributions are always interesting and often valuable. Mac Mac in Michigan | |||

Well I went and finally did it. Picked up a 5” 2.0 with no safety or LCI. My dealer just started getting them in and it was the second one they had received. I was more than stoked when I saw it without the safety and LCI. I can’t wait to get it to the range and give it a go. I considered the 17 as I carry a 19 but I couldn’t resist the M&P this time around. Planning on fiber optic front with black rear from Warren Tactical, APL, and one the fence about an Apex trigger kit. Their on sale currently at Rainier just not sure if I’m going to pull the trigger. | |||

As requested. Jerry I know you had talked about it and quite honestly may have forgotten at this point, but did you change the 2.0 trigger out to Apex and if so what where your thoughts.

Pics aren't working in this thread, but the link is good. That's a nice looking pistol. ________________ tempus edax rerum | |||

I ran gun #1 stock for quite some time. Then on a whim, I did an impulse buy at my LGS and bought a duty carry kit and put in it. My other two 2.0s are stock as of today, including the 2.0 Compact that is my carry gun. The DCAEK allows me to milk just a little bit more performance out of the gun. I mean I ^think^ it makes the difference between burning .19 splits and .16. The stock trigger is completely usable, and I think it is the best stock service pistol out of the box of any of the major players. My first 4.25 and my 2.0 compact will leave this week to go out to Apex. Randy is going to inspect the high round count gun to see if there is any data of value for their design team, and probably slap a barrel in both guns. I've been talking about doing this for six months, but finally am making it happen. I plan on packaging them up today, and shipping them tomorrow. | |||

That’s great news that they got rid of the LCI on the 5”! Thank you for sharing that. I didn’t realize that had happened. We can finally make our own CORE pistol with them now. | |||

You know that saved them money on each gun. Not only the part, but also the machine time on the slide. Good riddance. I'm a lot like you that I can't believe it took them this long. | |||

Good news on the LCI. Now, when will they finally run out of FDE and make black ones? | |||

For those not aware S&W is currently running their summer promotion which is a $50 cash card for the purchase of an M&P pistol (minus Shields). Couple other models available as well with varying levels of cash. While I paid $499 it takes what Sportsman Outdoor Superstore has at $429 to $379 after rebate.

I narrowly missed a new $349 2.0 compact this weekend...pre-rebate price. Smokin' deal. ****************************** May our caskets be made of hundred-year oak, and may we plant those trees tomorrow. | |||

Follow-up on mounting Venom onto DW: After lots of contemplation, noticed that back of the rear sight is a flat - milled in front of the rear-sight-cut even with back flat & just enough to fit sight with sight's screws going into insert in the unchanged rear-sight-cut. The insert has to be wider than the slide. Not perfect, but much less material removal and one could remove the red-dot stuff and insert iron sight. Still, M&P9 M2.0 + two-dot-sear and a few minutes work results in a very useful improvement. Mac in Michigan | |||

Primary machine, and I’m sure others do this as well, can cut for the dot and cut a glock dovetail in the slide for a glock sight. _________________________________________ I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew... | |||

Aight. My M&P 4.25 that is the subject of this thread, and my 2.0 Compact leave Monday for Arizona. They will come back with new gunsmith fit Apex barrels. Randy is also going to bust down the 4.25 and inspect it while it is out there. More out of curiosity than anything due to the round count. | |||

I’ll be very curious to hear what you think. Thanks to the heads in this thread I picked up my 5” 2.0 without the LCI yesterday. Thanks guys. | |||

I bought one of the 4.25" 2.0 when they first came out after hearing all the hype from S&W. While I think the out of the box trigger is better than the 1.0, I find the grip texture to be too aggressive, and I don't like the fact that I am unable to slam the mag home and have the slide ricochet home. And the biggest bone I have with them is that they don't have a 5" yet in black. | |||
