Thank you for reviewing the 4.6" model. If I am going to get a gun with a heavy-hitting caliber and a full-sized grip, I don't care about saving a half inch on the barrel. I want all that barrel length.
💯💯💯💯🤣🤣💯💯💯💯
*XDM Elite 10 mm with 3.8 barrel has entered the chat*
That’s what she said
Same. I personally think the 4.6 version looks cooler aswell.
and weight
My goodness, what a refreshing channel.
Coming from a high volume shooter who has watched most if not all UA-cam gun channels, your speech, style and composure are awesome.
I'm really getting tired of the bearded, tattooed, former special forces who need you to carry 12 ARs to feel prepped.
Keep it going sir, your wisdom is 👍.
Benoit, thanks for your kind words. I too tire of the seemingly endless videos like that. Most of us shoot because we enjoy it so let’s have fun doing it! As my dog seems to know, “More wag, less bark!” Roy H.
I have the 4in barrel. Loved it the day I got it. Great gun! Thanks for the video.
The S&W entire series is designed to be lightweight, affordable and easy to use. My Wife loves hers the lack of recoil is awesome
Love mine shot first 50 rounds today very accurate and shot great. Thanks for video.
I would love it if Smith & Wesson would come out with a 6" long slide version of this for the deer hunter's or even a 7" long slide
You can get a 6 inch barrel well atleast at some point you will
Great review! This was one of the best ones I’ve seen on the M&P 10mm. I looked at one at the gun shop and it felt good in the hands. I hope it is still there, I believe I may just have to buy it.
Do it!!!
I bought one last weekend, 4.6" barrel, no thumb safety and it shoots beautifully and comfortably.
I have a Glock 20 and the M&P 2.0 10mm is hands down a better handgun in all ways. Only problem I had is from the slide release. I hold high on the slide with my left hand and the extended slide release cut my hand, no big deal, I adjusted my grip.
I'm an M&P fan and shooter and I own several in the 9mm, I think the 10mm is the best M&P S&W has made.
I put it on layaway, I can’t wait to get it!
It was good timing as Springfield discontinued their 10s. I’m running a G40 and couldn’t be happier in the woods.
The biggest issue is ammo velocities. You got decent with that federal but loads like the hydrashock are only getting 900s. Anything in a 180 should be right at 1200. I’m sticking with Underwood and the others.
For those with questions
xdm says what ?
Not sure what you are doing to be happier in the woods . . .b u t, I’m shooting my xDM 10mm pistol I bought last year. No, not the new elite 3.8” but the middle brother 4.5” barreled version.
Very Good shooting Roy....for a Gun you have Not Sighted and is New out the box. Cheers. I'll check back for more. RC from Houston!
Thanks RC. I also have the new Springfield Armory XDm in 10mm pending for a video so stay tuned! Roy H.
I enjoyed this video and Roy looked like he was having some fun shooting this gun.
I have one with the 4inch barrel. Like it so far.only 50rounds thru it. Here in Arizona 10mm is popular. If you want one,as soon as you see it,buy it.
I believe 10mm is popular everywhere . . .well, except those states where the blue fog in the air is too thick to see through. And, man, all the Harold Fish stories that came out of Arizona where Mr Fish became the first American found guilty of manslaughter for using a 10mm round for self defense. Any other handgun caliber and it was clean cut self self defense but with 10mm at the time it was considered “overkill” in Arizona. Anyway, here in Georgia, 10mm is popular and that popularity continues to grow. Ammo is easier to find than the guns that shoot it so, if you see a 10mm gun on the shelf, claim it first if for nothing more than a quickie fondling session. It can always be put back on the shelf. If you turn your back just for a second, it might be gone when you look at the display again.
I'm liking this S&W mp 10 a lot more than the new Sig Sauer p 320 x10. Great price point + a external safety which most shooters complain about until the firearm accidentally discharges and hits the shooter or something or someone else.. A+ on the Smith & Wesson m&p 10mm.
Agreed Jeff. I like the safety. I’ve shot this more since the video and so far, all is swell. Roy
Once they get the bugs out and start different versions like fiber sights it will be a great bear defense gun!
Your the best I have much respect the way you review on guns I hope all every body follows your ways . Shoot first for performance and talk . About it not the other way around . Like most of the reviews do pls. Do more so for us to buy and recommend.
Well thanks Don. I’ll do my best! Roy
I've had the 4-in model for about a year now. I upgraded my recoil spring from 17 to 22 lb. Trigger got much better after a few hundred rounds. Never had any issues with mine. shoots Underwood 1600 feet per second ammo and any other ammo all day long with no problem. Great pistol for the money in my opinion.
I agree, Gramps! The trigger in mine has smoothed out some too after use. Roy
Another great review..thanks
Thank you for this video. You are helping me decide, and pretty sure I will add this gun to my collection. I have a 10 year old M&P 40 that is my favorite gun, but want a little more power when traveling in the Rockies.
Thank you again
Anthony, I’ve put quite a few more rounds through my gun since this video and I’ve grown to really like it. Roy
Looks like a great gun. Thanks for the video.
Enjoyed your video. I've had my M&P 10mm for a couple of weeks now and really like it. I'm new to your channel and I'm curious about the aperture you used on your glasses. My 60 year old eyes need all the help they can get. New subscriber also.
JD, here's a link for my eye patch thing: eyepalusa.com
I use them all the time. They have them for rifles and handguns. RH
@@fmgpubs Thank you sir...I will be checking into this.
Thanks Sir
10's my favorite round, the S&W not so much. I like 1911s...to each his own. I thought it good to hear what The Guy Roy Huntington has to say about it just because it's Roy.
I’m a lifelong Glock fan but I have to admit, I do love the 2.0 M&P Series Pistols. I have this in the .45 version and the accuracy and feel is amazing. (US Marine Vet/34 Year LEO Vet).
The safety on sides is annoying
@@virusworld3730 totally disagree. Had my choice and a smart person will accept the safety on the sides. Just my opinion. You can never be too safe with a 10mm bullet pointing at your leg or accidental discharge.
@@hurricaneaquatics 😂 I guess our police are dumb? And most conceal carry owners are too? That safety can cost u ur life in more ways then one, I'm getting mine removed and filled. But it's better to have something then to have nothing.
Great video and I love the 10mm!
Ok. So your 4.6 went low and right like mine. I picked up mine last week and I was seeing the same thing. Thank you, sir.
It does shift a bit with ammo changes so if you need to, experiment a bit. I'm looking for alternate iron sight options too. Roy
Great review. I always enjoy your videos.
Awesome Video. Thank you. It would have been really cool to see you run a full mag through all of those different types of ammo to test reliability.
Like you easy-to-follow and you don't talk too fast😉
Thanks sir. We’ll keep it up! Roy
The 10mm really needs a tough jacketed bullet for dangerous game that prioritizes penetration over expansion. Some examples could be 10mm 200 grain bullet designs from: Speer in a deep curl, Hornady in a XTP Mag, or Sierra Jacketed Soft Point. Not interested in meeting FBI bullet expansion/penetration protocols as they don't mean crap against charging bears!
Buffalo 200g hard cast?
Buffalo Hard Cast will do the trick, a 9mm hard cast took dow a grizzly 4 rounds lol
Good video. Thanks
Wow, great shooting sir!🇺🇸👍
Thanks Smokey. It’s all about a very firm grip and good trigger press. Practice makes things better! Roy H.
Glad to se that S&W is catching up. Glock had this in 1983. You do the math.
I don't get your point and the math is third-grade level...
@@buckhorncortez Well any third-grade level person could subtract 1983 from 2022. Glad S&W is catching up to Glock 10 MM.
I think I'm going to switch to the 10mm but I want to get the 4" M&P.
My 4" m&p 2.0 9mm is a great gun. I wouldn't mind owning a .40 or possibly a 10mm with a 4.5 barrel.
I have the performance center 9mm and the 10mm 2.0 M&P. Both great guns
Great review, This is cytac holster, Thanks your videos. :)
Waiting for that performance center version 10mm baby! Will complement my performance center 9mm in due time.
What is it with all you guys and your performance problems? Competitive shooters? I get it. Defensive carry and handgun hunters? The onus is on you to handle the issues.
@@slypperyfox the performance center is just a higher-quality firearm nothing wrong with willing to pay a little extra money for Superior components
@@cryptozeus2354 I know. I made my comment in jest. I’m not a Michulek type shooter. If I can hold a 2-3” group at 10 yards with a defensive handgun, I’m happy. I usually practice at 7 yards, though.
Holster option for 4.6 bbl owb and duty carry
Alien gear, Galco and others have duty rigs. It just depends on what you agency authorizes. Roy
Need an fde version
Does this gun hold up with 200 grain buffalo bore ?
i love mine! But can only get 15 round magazines for it. In my state the hippies who make laws here have outlawed 15 round mags. So all i have are the 2 mags that came with it. There are no 10 round mags available
for it!
Nice work
really hope S&W takes a note from Walther and makes this pistol with an aluminum or steel frame.
They heard you. The M&P 2.0 10 does use an aluminum frame . . . OK, I cheated. I watched sooTH’s review video on that gun before this video.
i think its a nice pistol
I love 10 mm got got two Rocks one glock 29 and a Springfield 10mm well I guess I will start looking for a m@p lol
I just found your channel. Enjoyed your video. I don't know much about Calibers. If you can. Could you please tell me which Caliber's are Bigger, better, ect. .380, 9mm, 40 Caliber, 10mm, 38 Special, 44 Cal. 45 Cal. ❓Or tell me where to get this information. Thank you from a Caliber Dummy. LOL.
What pistol would you choose between the Smith and the Springfield?
SPRINGFIELD HANDS DOWN. SHOOTS ALL LOADS HEAVY NO PROBLEM .
@@johnprice327 agree, and I really want this m&p to be better. I'll buy one if they fix the issues.
I have both Springfield has less recoil other than that equal
When the 10mm first came out, they knew what it was for. After the FBI got slaughtered, they requested something to replace their 9mm. The 10mm was born. However, their operatives were having trouble handling it, so the 40 s&w was born. Now, the question of what to do with the 10mm.
Hi Mike. I lived through all that with the FBI after the Florida shootout. I think the issue with the 10mm was they weren’t building guns strong enough and people wore them out, like the Colt Delta Elite. Beat ‘em to death. With modern guns, the platforms work, so that’s likely why the 10mm is doing so well. Roy
Anybody find magazines for this pistol yet. Seems like S&W is slow to get them out for sale.
Other than a barrel swap, do you think s&w might make a gun chambered in 357sig? It seems Sig Sauer gave up on it.
Doubtful… S&W discontinued the stand alone 357 sig M&P years ago.
It was redundant as it can be shot out of the .40 gun with a simple barrel swap.
(Which is what I do.)
They weren’t selling enough guns in 357 sig… simple as that.
It’s my favorite handgun cartridge and I reload for it…
But I’ve literally NEVER ran across anyone else at the range shooting it.
Too bad it seems it just never caught on in popularity.🤷♂️👍
@ the mad Mic. That's a damn shame as the 357 Sig in my humble opinion is one of the best handgun calibers there are
@@BillMcGirr the firearms industry seems bent on killing all calibers besides 9mm and .45, seems theyre starting to let 10mm limp on a little bit for now
@@thegeth4293
I understand why 357 sig never caught on.
It’s neck is too small.
It’s a pain in the ass to load.
But the handgun gods blessed us with what a 9mm COULD be.
Don’t misunderstand me.
I honestly believe 357 sig is the most practical high velocity handgun cartridge ever devised.
Period.
I find a bit of solace knowing that I’ve got thousands of empty brass…
And an abundance of 9mm projectiles to choose.
(Even if not optimal)
Unless I run out of ammo … I’ll never shoot anything else.💪👍🥃
@@nova68cutie
Sorry so late on a reply…
Agreed… 357 sig is the most efficient high capacity, high velocity round ever created.
Especially when loaded to the original intentions…
To replicate the 357 mag in a high capacity auto loader.
It’s the boss.
But like 10mm… it will rock your guns world.
Nobody is putting 100,000 rounds through a hot rod 357 sig.
Ever.🤣👍🥃
Buyers be warned!! I like many others had the same problem. The screws holding the Red Dot on the slide snapped off even with the slide, sending my Holosun down range. I have seen others with the same thing happening.
Were they the screws that came with the Smith? My Holosun came with with screws that I used instead of the stock screws.
@@thepodcastingdead9850 I used the screws that came with the Holosun. I now have another gun Walther PDQ that this has happened to. At this point it looks to the screws that Holosun is supplying. I am not real happy at this point as I have a lot of Holosuns on my handguns and some on my ARs.
@@arlissyoung8899 good info! I’ll see if I can switch back to the screws that came with the M&P if they’re long enough.
@@thepodcastingdead9850 I would stay way from the ones Holosun supplies if you can. I have a Lot of them but now it has happened on another gun I am going to try and replace them. Best of luck hope it works out.
@@thepodcastingdead9850 That's the problem with most of the ones that come with the guns. I find them to short to use. I going to check with C+H optics, I have gotten a number of plates from them and I think they carry screws also. A few dollars for peace of mind will be well worth it.
Let's test " big hairy claws & teeth "
charging you growing ! I'll keep my 1450 fps 240 grains solid .44 mag.
Just picked one up, only shot three magazines through it. Does the trigger get better as it breaks in?
Well, it can smooth up a bit. But I find the best thing to do with polymer pistols is find an after-market trigger. I suspect Apex may make one for this gun. If not, check around some. The difference can be huge. Roy H.
A small 44 mag. With out the mag, I guess.
No where close to 44mag
10mm is around a 357 magnum. A maxed out 44 magnum round can send a 340 grainer at around 1,430fps producing 1,500 foot pounds of energy. 10mm could never even dream of hitting those numbers.
To say that S&W made a worse trigger than a Glock hurts me, but they totally screwed that.
For you to state, with those ridiculous sights, that it could be a holster pistol, well, I guess I'd have to see that holster.
I just bought one, and regret that decision. Not something I say often.
Tam, mine has the typical striker trigger. But install an Apex or other after-market one and you’ll be amazed. Also, they all tend to shoot in. Before you toss it on the firewood pile, give it a chance and learn how to shoot that trigger for a while. Roy
Wish they would send them to FFL”s instead of every UA-camr .. known to man so we may could actually purchase one ..
Been watching these choke up with nose ups and mag seating issues,may just be some lemons,they are late on bandwagon with this ,safety is enough to remove it from my liking. Time will tell, I would think those might shoot 3 inch groups rested at 25 yds.
I like the Springfield better, this one felt cheap and just not a good feel for me. I shot both and for the price the Springfield out performed the s&w for me
Little more detail plz
Agree with GCI, more details about how the Springfield out performed the S&W - other than just feel. And for what purpose were you looking to pick up a new short barreled pistol in 10mm? Jesus! I just proofread my reply and I must sound like an ATF agent . . .nothing could be further from the truth. Just curious 🧐
@@slypperyfox LOL 😆 😂 🤣
@@xipus08 . It was alot more accurate even after adjusting the sights, the s&w jammed 3 times, it was smoother shooting it feels like it's heavier the recoil was better on the Springfield
@@D-A-1776 Nice! I ended up getting the Springfield as well and I enjoy it. I took the Mag release off and it fits my hand so much better now. I was waiting for the S&W 10mm but it was sold out everywhere and finding the glock I wanted in 10mm was hard too. The XDM Elite was available at my local shop but I passed on it 3 months ago. It finally came back around but I didn't make the mistake of not buying it this time. Enjoying the purchase thus far. Took it to the range about 3xs now, zero jams and shoots surprisingly light as the recoil isn't bad at all. Great gun!!!
S&W support out right told me you can not use underwood ammo in this gun. You can use ammo running at 40 cal numbers fine. But full 10mm loads and this thing is not reliable. Get a RIA 1911 or a Glock if you want to depend on a gun for your life with 10mm. First and last S&W for me.
Never heard of any problems and they are rated at full 10mm pressures. My test gun had no issues. I’m always leary of the “support” call people as they are just call-takers and are often wrong. Roy
@fmgpubs just Google S&W 2.0 feeding issues. Also some issues with mag drops. Underwood is aware of it as well. I sent the gun back to S&W if they fix it, I will update all my post.
Ah, that makes sense. I suspect it’s something having to do with your particular gun. They stamp them out so fast …. Roy@@motorcitymadman146
I'm curious about your "peep" sight on your glasses. Was that something you got from your eye doc or from sporting goods source. Since this is at least the second time I have seen you use it I assume it is really helpful to use. Can you provide some info about it for another old fart who likes to shoot handguns?
Look at the reply to the same question above.
Most 10 mm ammo is NO STRONGER than .40. Do your own testing.
I have, tested, Music Man. In a previous video on the S&W 10mm I chronographed a bunch of loads in the video. Some were definitely at the lower end of the spectrum but still significant, and some were in the 1200 or better range, certainly better than any .40 with a 180 bullet. But like most things, one does need to do their research. Here's a link to that vid. Chrono work starts around 6:15. ua-cam.com/video/5MIOwcsgjYQ/v-deo.html. Roy H.
There really seems to be an inordinate amount of failures and problems with the Smith and Wesson M&P 10MM. The guns hit the marketplace and after purchase, the user usually has to
keep his fingers crossed in hopes that the particular firearm he purchased will perform to it's "life-saving standards". In yours and others magazines these weapons are immediately touted
as new wonder pistols yet we the public seem to be stuck in the mire once we make a purchase and its a lemon. How about some help for us out here....you have the inside track to this
and other manufacturers and they should be a thousand times more aware of their quality control.............HELP!!!!
We’ve had a couple come through out hands here and so far there haven’t been any issues. What sorts of problems are you hearing about? In my experience, many “problems” are centered around people using poor ammo, incorrect shooting methods (stance, grip, etc.) and a failure to clean and lube correctly. Roy
My experience shows people loading their own having the most issues. I’ve had mine for 6 months and not a single issue
I was just shooting mine feed absolutely flawless
S&W needs 2 be punished by the consumer/s for a while. Just long enough 2 where they understand the concept of not pushing out subpar sidearms. These feeding issues from a new gun is obsurd
CLEAN AND LUBE IT!
What feeding issues mine has been flawless
The S&W is a piece of junk. I bought one of these only to learn that Smith &Wesson has no magazines for this gun nor does any other manufacturer. I am now looking to sell mine and buy a Glock.
Being a new pistol it can take time to get the supply pipeline filled. I noticed Midway, etc. are all listing them as “out of stock” and waiting for new shipments. I expect this will change soon unless the government continues to scare people into more buying frenzies! Roy
It's nothing more than a GLOCK 20SF 10MM,,,,
""""COPY""""" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but way better
@@richardstrayer6611 - Yes , SO much better that Wyoming Highway Patrol shitcanned the 40 S&W version and went BACK to Glock .
@@uglydog311 All three of them?
All tires are nothing more than Goodyear copies! Gotta love glock fanboys.
I am sorry I don't see what the hype is about 10mm I was not impressed
The M&P was not able to withstand constant use in .40 S&W - to the point where at least one LE agency ditched it . So , I expect this to be a giant turd .
The trigger is absolutely garbage, it’s gritty and long pull with a crap reset. It maybe worse than Gluck, and who’s the Genius of an engineer that came up with a yellow mag follower.
