Hey Dave, thanks for watching and commenting. Really appreciate your support of the channel. Like you and I appreciate the smith and Wesson MNP pistols!
Honestly, thats probably the most beautiful pistol ive seen in a while. The metal frame makes a big difference too Also glad they improved on the trigger Good review :)
Julia, thanks so much for watching and commenting. Personally I can’t wait to get it to the range. Hope you will stay tuned for the range review coming next weekend or soon after that.
That seems to be the common theme I’m hearing from people that have shot it. I hope to be able to get to the range this week and put a few hundred rounds through it. Very excited by the prospect of doing that! Thanks for watching I hope you will subscribe.

@@gutadin5 I cannot speak about the long-term reliability because I’ve only had it for a few weeks, but it’s been perfect after only 300 rounds. As far as the accuracy, it is more accurate than I can be.
@@gutadin5 I recently put around 200 rounds through the metal and I have a full sized polymer m2.0 version as well. I found that I shot the metal just slightly better, the trigger is fantastic. Accuracy was better with the metal, is it a huge difference from the polymer? No, but in my opinion it felt a little better.
@@gutadin5 Thanks for watching and commenting. We just posted a range review on the channel. Reliability and accuracy was exceptional. Hope you will check out that video and give us your thoughts.

I bought the M and P 2.0 metal about a month ago. So far I have put about 1000 rounds through it. The only issues I had were with Winchester FMJ that had several misfire per box. After I switched to sig sauer and blazer I have had no issue whatsoever. My wife and I train with it weekly now and even with simple iron sights I can get grouping in about a 2 inch circle. I have broken it down and cleaned it several times with no issues either. I really like how the magazines load and drop easily when spent. Based on my experience I plan on buying a shield plus for a wear and carry.
Oh, sir, thank you so much for watching and commenting. This is a fine pistol in deed. I hope you will consider subscribing to the channel and checking out some of our other contact.
You can take out the detent that keeps it from auto forwarding in the 2.0 pistols. I’ve never had an issue causing a malfunction when I initiate a momentum reload, except hastened reload time.
Yes, like you I really appreciate the momentum reloading. Especially given my handicap with my left hand. I have not looked into how to remove that small detent on the slide stop but we’ll have to do that! Thanks for watching and commenting. If you haven’t already I hope you will subscribe.
Enjoying the M&P in Oregon with the 10 round magazine. I just got my M&P all metal yesterday. Here in Kentucky with the standard magazines within 17 capacity. Sorry Oregon and Washington State we get to have 17 rounds here anyway it's an awesome great gun.
Joe, actually Oregon has not yet restricted magazine capacity. They are certainly trying or at least the far left progressives in Portland or Tri. The rest of the state however is very pro gun. Unfortunately, so many people are ignorant about Firearms having never been to the range or a grown-up with parents who teach them firearms safety. Instead they get all their miss information from the corporate media who has an extreme bias against the individual rights of citizens. Very important that everyone votes! Thanks for watching and commenting I hope you will subscribe to the channel.
Several years ago I sent my 40 performance center m&p to your buddy who did that sweet trigger job on it and it’s been sweet ever since, I’ll hold out for a 10 mm of this
Yes, you’re talking about BG Gun works in Mason New Hampshire. They do outstanding quality work. The 10 mm certainly looks interesting. I’ll be looking to hear your feedback on that once you get it. Thanks for watching!
Great review, as always! I got the S&W 2.0, 3.6 compact version and love that pistol. I hope S&W comes out with a .45 version of this metal pistol, that’s the one I’d like to get.
Cannot agree enough about the folks at AIM. If you can get to their showroom, they have an amazing collection of older military firearms on display as well.
Don, thank you for watching and commenting. One of these days I hope to actually get to their show room. I’ve been dealing with the company for years and really appreciate their professionalism and customer centric approach. If you haven’t already I hope you will subscribe to the channel.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC I pick mine up yesterday. Cause of I'm waiting to complete my CCWP ill hafe to wait until thrusday to pick it up. Got a. GREAT price on it. Look forward end of January on buy the Competitor version of it.
@@ELopez2185 That has to be a fantastic firearm. I am torn with all the great options. The price tag has a good bit to do with my decision. I have shot an M9a2(?) w/G10 grips an aftermarket threaded 5.3' barrel & stainless guide rod. Stock trigger which is still excellent. What a slick, slick pistol. The LTT is actually what I would prefer but $1200+ isn't doable for a while. Enjoy my friend. Thanks.
Sir, I would recommend this over the Sigg or the Beretta. I happen to own both of those pistols and believe they are very fine quality handguns. However I believe you will have better success shooting this pistol right out of the box versus learning to manage the double action to single action trigger transition. It’s just my personal view but it is worth considering the fact that striker fired pistols are generally easier to master then a double action/single action semi automatic. Anyway, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. I hope you will subscribe to the channel
I've done 1 transaction with Aim, it was great except for the FFL's on their list. I have tons on FFLs in my area but the only one on their list was 45 minutes away.
If you want a dealer that is closer simply go to the dealer and ask them to send their FFL paperwork to aim. That’s all that’s needed. I appreciate you watching. Hope you will subscribe to the channel.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC Thank you, I was unaware of that. That was my first and only online firearm purchase. I am subscribed. Thank you for your videos.
Mixed feelings on the stipling myself. It does feel good in the hand but NOT on the skin if you carry IWB. I had to wrap mine in tape finally . Great looking gun , bet it's a great shooter too
Sir, I hear what you’re saying about the stippling and as someone who carries every day I know what you mean. At the same time I’m less concerned about my minor discomfort with the stippling when it’s inside the waistband and much more interested in the way the gun feels when my hands are wet or sweaty. Thanks for raising that point. I think it’s important one for users to consider. I hope you will subscribe if you haven’t already.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC I am looking forward to the range session. I'm in CA so I may never be able to touch a Metal, so give us a good look at it!
Actually it comes with plates for multiple optics. But these are plastic and that’s disappointing. I hear you on the box. Welcome to inflation which is hitting all of us. Hope you check out the actual range of you and consider subscribing to the channel.
My first two pistols were G19 and S&W and I thought the same about the box. Went to S&W website and bought a plastic case. Now it just sits in the attic with all the others! Guess it’s a good place to keep the cable lock. Otherwise who cares about the box?
? What is the black plate thats on the back of the slide made of. You lnow the plate you replace with the correct one for your red dot. Its black so i cetaily hope its not plastic. Please reasure me it too is made feom metal. This could be a deal breaker for me. Imagine a 900 dollar all metal gun with a weak poly site plate. Tell me it aint so joe.
Earl, thank you for watching and commenting. This plate on the M&P is pretty much like every other plate that I’ve seen on pistols today… yes, is made out of polymer. The only exception I’ve seen to this is the plate cover that’s on my staccato P 2011 pistol … that pistol is $2400 approximately. And the design has the site as part of that plate. These plate covers are really designed to be taken off if you’re going to run a red dot optic. Thus to me it makes no difference. If that’s a dealbreaker for you, i totally understand….what I’m much more interested in is the frame, slide and barrel.These have proven remarkably durable for me. In any case, thank you so much for watching and commenting. I hope you will subscribe and share the channel with friends and family. All the best and stay safe.
I would love to upgrade my m&p to the metal. Unfortunately, I live in Chinada and thanks to Trudolph there is currently a handgun freeze. I'm optimistic that we will win our lawsuit against the current regime and get our rights back. Fingers crossed anyway 🤞😐
Canada is a beautiful country and is filled with great people. Unfortunately the current governments view toward individual liberties is quite bad. I appreciate you watching and commenting and hope you will subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already.
Yes, it is interesting that Smith is trying to save an extra buck by providing a cardboard box versus their traditional plastic pistol case. For as much as the pistol cost you would expect a decent case but I guess we can thank Joe Bidens inflation for all of this.
Charge double? You expect a $400 metal gun??? Seriously? And the plastic case… so it can end up in the attic with all the others? Or do you round up all your little Tupperware cases and head to the gun range with them? Must be fun to carry all those!
I hear you for sure. I feel like any pistol needs a minimum of 10 mags. Since I have been shooting the MNP line of 9 mm pistols for several years I’m fortunate to have a fair number of magazines. Much better to have and never need them to not have and we should have them! Thanks for watching and commenting. If you haven’t already I hope you will subscribe to the channel.
I wonder when Glock will create an aluminum framed Glock-19? I hope they do, because in my world all pistols are Glock-19’s. When a shrink shows me an ‘ink-blot’ and asks me what I see, my answer is always “A Glock-19.” - Jason/Freedom Fighter Until Death/Vermont, DSA (‘DSA’, meaning “The Divided States Of America”)
Sir, thanks so much for watching and commenting. I agree with you the Glock 19 is a fantastic vita pistol. I have several. I carried one for many years. I think a metal frame Glock 19 would be amazing! However it seems the clock doesn’t really want to innovate or do anything different than its standard polymer frame guns. I hope you will subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already.
Yes, unfortunately, I was born with a fairly significant physical handicap with my left hand and arm. He required reconstructive surgery. It’s not perfect, but works better than nothing. Thanks for watching !
This metal version is beautiful. I’ve always been a big fan of all the M&P line of pistols. Great review!
