Did you send it back to S+W for warranty (they pay shipping both ways)? Was it fixed after it came back?

Or did you just sell it and let someone else deal with it? Roll Eyes


I traded it in and told the dealer why. I hope that’s ok with you.


I was simply curious if you sent it to S+W and it came back fixed, OR was simply a problematic pistol.

I keep going back and forth on projects. I really don't buy into the notion that (in my experience) a 5" gun will gain you much compared to a 4.25 in 99 percent of USPSA or related matches. Then you watch videos like that and watch how smoothly the 5" gun tracks. That sends the brain ticking again and the process of elimination starts over........

I'm going to build two new guns before the serious start of the shooting season (which for me is March 14). I don't know if it'll be one 5" gun and one 4.25, or two 4.25s.

Interestingly, I took a 3 day class this week and my partner for the class is a academy supervisor for Cincinnati PD. They got 1500 2.0s and have had zero problems out of them. It's so good to see that Smith and Wesson finally got this one right.


Go for a 5", the longer site radius and the heavier slide.....I always wanted a M+P pro 9mm (5") but then totally forgot that I wanted one many years ago.

I was thinking on this too. I recently picked up a Glock G45 and the balance and feel are like a sports car compared to a G34 or my M&p 5". I find that at my performance level with a pistol the longer and slower slide really keeps me from over running myself and governs me within my comfort zone. I really get to feel how I'm driving the gun.
I hope that makes sense.

Makes total sense from a process oriented standpoint.

Well, COVID and all types of horseshit derailed this project.

I picked up a new C.O.R.E this weekend. Have to say, I like the 2.0 RMR combination.

Welcome (again) to the M&P fold. I’m on my second 5” gun, a CORE model.
First one (9 Pro) did about 15-16,000 rounds mostly in Steel Challenge.
For the money, they are very good guns, and only get better the more rounds you put through them.
Enjoy.

I just picked up a 2.0 Performance Center 5" ported model. Looking forward to shooting it at steel challenge next Sunday.

What do you think about the CORE optic mounting system? I like it a lot.

To be honest with you, I shoot FO iron sights (Dawson)on the M&Ps. I have tried to adopt optics … to no avail. Just didn’t work for me.

I might be inclined to replace the plastic plates with a metal one for the optic you want to mount.

Which size gun did you get, full size 4.25"? I see they now have optics guns in the compacts, both 4" and 3.6".

It's amazing I saw this post...I just put $$$ down on a PPT M&P 2.0 Compact. I had been on the fence but I came across this gun for sale and could not resist.

I picked up another 4.25.

The thing about the “plate system” with the M&P is that it is more like a sealer plate than an actual mounting plate. The screws (at least for an RMR) go directly into the slide. Unless the plate deteriorates, I can’t see it having much of a negative affect. If it was a mounting system like Glock has, yeah I see how it would need replacing ASAP.
