    Is it just me the trigger SUCKS!



  2. Steve Feeser on August 2, 2022 at 7:45 pm

    I was thinking of sanding it (lightly) and found your video. Nice to get confirmation before possibly violating my Smith. Much better now. I often carry with shirt tucked in and cover with an unbuttoned sweater. Now I don’t fear for the side of my nice polo shirt being sandblasted.

    After almost two years, my muffin has finally realized it ain’t getting any better and now it just turns slightly red.

    After watching your video, I did some light sanding on my new 2.0 full size 45 Black. Was just way too aggressive for me! After the light sanding, it gave the area sand a little bit of a lighter or grayish look, instead of the deep black it was prior to sanding. I know you can use WD40 on G10 (actually that is what VZ recommends to use to touch up finish). What can I use to bring back the deep black finish to the sanded areas???? Thanks much!

    I would sand all my 2.0s down

    Missed brown beast glad she’s doing well

    Worst part about the aggressive grip is it destroys my shirts. (also rough on the skin of course)



  8. Steve H on August 2, 2022 at 7:52 pm

    Man this what I’m going to do on both sides. Not only does it irritate the crap out of my subtle skin (lol) but the other side gets stuck on my shirt. It was so bothersome i shelved my plus in favor of my standard shield.

    Wow! Gonna go try this on my Sig P365



  10. Scott Fennell on August 2, 2022 at 7:56 pm

    Shoot, I’m going to sand down both sides. The main problem I have is it snagging my shirt when I’m concealed carrying. I live in Florida, so I can’t layer too much because it gets a little hot here. Thanks for the demonstration, I’m confident now.

    I had to go get a Monster after this and thank you for raising "tactical love handle" awareness…I think?



  12. DANNY FENNELL on August 2, 2022 at 8:04 pm

    Thanks dude!



  13. DragonSmith on August 2, 2022 at 8:04 pm

    is that a tan finish?



  14. Trad Bow Time With Uncle Dan on August 2, 2022 at 8:05 pm

    Is that thing still chafing your tactical muffin topπŸ˜‚πŸ‘πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ



  15. Wiley on August 2, 2022 at 8:05 pm

    If you had man hands instead of munchkin hands you would have no problem gripping the gun. Just saying….



  16. Michael Fabian on August 2, 2022 at 8:06 pm

    Man I LOVE seeing any and all new Cacticalman videos. I’ve got my own brown beast, right about 1k rounds through it and it was love at first shot. I’m a bit too tall and lanky to conceal carry it, plus my S&W 642 would be mad and jealous lol. But my brown beast stays at the ready right next to my bed nightly and I love it 🀘🏻



  17. Centuri Sil Via on August 2, 2022 at 8:11 pm

    Why is this suddenly becoming sexual? 🀣🀣🀣



  18. Centuri Sil Via on August 2, 2022 at 8:13 pm

    Didnt get mine for a carry gun so no sandy for the mandy here. Buy a gen 1 if you want baby soft. Nodelivesmatter.



  19. Nathan Manley on August 2, 2022 at 8:14 pm

    Monster and S&W yay

    The finish on the slide of mine is all messed up from owb carry. Its a working blaster so I’m not that worried about looks. I like owb because it keeps the denim lint out of it.



  20. New Tex_I_Can on August 2, 2022 at 8:15 pm

    Looks good. I wonder if a light brushing with a cleaning brush would clean the gunk out. I bet the first time to clean it and wipe it all down it’s going to look normal.



  21. Rick M on August 2, 2022 at 8:16 pm

    This video is tailor made for me , haha. I love my 2.0 and this is exactly what im gonna do. Great idea on the test back strap. I really appreciate this one brother



  22. solo909 on August 2, 2022 at 8:17 pm

    What the hell did you say at 7:31 ? Hahaha



  23. ZombieStain65 on August 2, 2022 at 8:18 pm

    Hoping off camera to rub one out. *Awkward Rubbing Noises* in the background Lol
    Glad to have you back my brother!
    Now we need another 1,000 round test on the brown beast!



  24. Rob C on August 2, 2022 at 8:20 pm

    I was gonna cut a piece of bicycle tire tubing and slide it over it. And see how that works



  25. Grants Dad on August 2, 2022 at 8:23 pm

    Had a little discomfort the first day or two carrying my 2.0 but since then I don’t notice it at all



  26. Greg Navarra on August 2, 2022 at 8:23 pm

    Thanks for the fix ! Was like a cheese grater on my side. πŸ‘πŸ»



  27. Maginus James on August 2, 2022 at 8:31 pm

    I’m new to the M&P family of fire arms but I would of thought since those are so easily removable that S&W would of offered replacements in various textures and styles. Do they not do that? Seems like a missed opportunity to me. But I agree the texture is extremely aggressive on this one.



  28. Josue Mata on August 2, 2022 at 8:31 pm

    You’re back!



  29. Edward (Drawde907) on August 2, 2022 at 8:31 pm

    My hands are more aggressive then these grips 🀣
    Maybe Stop using so much 🧴.

    I’m playing calm down πŸ˜‚



  30. AOG eph6:13 on August 2, 2022 at 8:33 pm

    Looks good!



  31. Logan Guest on August 2, 2022 at 8:37 pm

    Wish I would have realized how easy it was to scratch my frame before attempting this, scrapped off paint. Any solutions?



  32. Scott Jackson on August 2, 2022 at 8:37 pm

    2.0 Definitely have an aggressive grip texture. I was going to sand it smoother but went with rubberized Talon grips instead. I’m extremely satisfied with them.

    EDIT / UPDATE:
    As I mentioned, I really like Talon grips and they felt great. However, after a few weeks of rubbing against my tactical love handles, the Talon grips started loosening from the grip. I pulled them tight again and put a couple of drops of super glue right on the seam. That worked well for a few weeks and then earlier today I noticed a small section of the Talon grip material was somehow missing. I guess my tactical love handles finally defeated the Talon grips. So I went ahead and took the rest of the handle material off, cleaned the original grips and sanded them down. So far, it seems to have worked very well. The sanded grips haven’t been bothering me at all. The good thing about sanding is that if it bothers me again, I can just sand them down some more.



  33. Connor Snoga on August 2, 2022 at 8:39 pm

    what olight and holster you use for this gun?



  34. Gage Irwin on August 2, 2022 at 8:39 pm

    I just wanna know best way to keep grip clean from hands and little specs it’s constantly getting junk stuck all over the grip



  35. BoogalooBoy1776 on August 2, 2022 at 8:41 pm

    The S&W in my opinion, is more ergonomic than the glock.



  36. Dino Nucci on August 2, 2022 at 8:42 pm

    Vid starts @ 2:40



  37. Believe in Jesus on August 2, 2022 at 8:42 pm
