S&W's Military Pistol: The M&P 2.0 5" Review
In this episode of TFBTV, James reviews Smith &Wesson’s MHS competitor, the M&P 2.0 5 inch model.
From S&W’s press materials:
The M&P M2.0 pistol, the newest innovation to the respected M&P polymer pistol line. Designed for personal, sporting, and professional use, the M&P M2.0 delivers an entirely new platform, introducing innovative features in nearly every aspect of the pistol, including trigger, grip, frame, and finish. Highlights of the M&P M2.0 pistol include an extended stainless-steel chassis and a low barrel bore axis for reduced muzzle rise and faster aim recovery. The M&P M2.0 pistol further improves performance with a fine-tuned, crisper trigger, lighter pull and a tactile and audible reset. The pistol, available in three calibers, includes an aggressively-textured grip and four interchangeable palmswell inserts for optimal hand-fit and trigger reach.
Features
• Low barrel bore axis makes the M&P pistol more comfortable to shoot reducing muzzle rise and allowing for faster aim recovery.
• Optimal 18-degree grip angle for natural point of aim.
• Four interchangeable palmswell grip inserts for optimal hand fit and trigger reach – S, M, ML, L.
• Aggressive grip texture for enhanced control.
• New M&P M2.0 crisp trigger with lighter trigger pull.
• Tactile and audible trigger reset.
• No tactile loaded chamber indicator
• Accurate 1 in 10” twist M&P M2.0 barrel.
• Extended rigid embedded stainless steel chassis to reduce flex and torque when firing.
• Armornite® durable corrosion resistant finish.

Glock 34 gen 5 vs MP9 2.0 5" = which do you pick and why????
I LOVE THIS GUN!
ffffrrrrttrtt no ported barrel to blinde u when tryin out night sights? hard pass for me
I wish they were still under $450 in 2020 :/ but then again it’s 2020, what did we expect..
I wish they made the 45 exactly like this without the protruding barrel.
Got mine awhile ago but due to a work related Injury didn’t get to shoot it till this week. 250 rounds in and 0 hiccups with 115 grain target ammo. I shot better with this than the 320 by far. At 15 yards all shots were still in the ex. Nothing outside the 9 ring and 5 for 5 on headshots at 25 yards. I know the Sig inbthe army trials but when the title of the trials has the word "modular" in it and only 1 gun is modular it’s fair to say it was rigged from the start.
I cannot become 21 fast enough. I don’t care about alcohol, I just want an M&P
helpful info, thanks
Oh yeah, there is no decocker. That’s why they didn’t win the contract. Had they included a decocker I would own one now.
This exact model has been discontinued by Smith & Wesson meaning this will definitely be a future collectible being a sidearm that was specifically made for the Army MHS trials. An event that has only happened twice in the last 100 years!
I’m collecting all the MHS pistols
M and p 2 or cz p10c or Beretta APX ?
Best gun reviews on Youtube. This is now my go to source.
Just bought this gun, it’s my first gun and I’m excited to go to the range and break it in
Take the safety off. Maybe. I gotta say I like having it carrying appendix. It’s really not a big deal. I rest my thumb on it so it’s never an issue. Except I seem to flip it off sometimes while on my waste iwb.
Prefer this over a G17 any day. Both shoot well but the Smith is better ergonomically, has steel sights, better grip and just looks damn good.
Mines don’t have a safety
This is a nice handgun
So is this the S&W M&P 2.0 Spec Series? or is this an entirely different gun? May be a silly question but I’m new to this gun shit.
Its not "good in it’s own right"
It is the best one that was submitted.
Going to buy one of these, but why can’t our military switch to Glock just curious
LOVE the grips on the m&p 2.0
I own one, love it. You might too.
Why was it failing to feed ?
Lol just switched from a g43 to this.
Mine had a failure to eject on the very first round. 124grn
Slide lock 🤦
W.O.W.
That’s not slim fit that’s an OshKosh B’Gosh kids clothing . When you start wearing an actual men’s shirt then maybe I’ll buy one 👍
I’ve heard these are dreams to shoot in 40 .
Is problematic ejection a thing with polymer pistols in general? I thought it was just Glock (brass to face, anyone?), but I see that this M&P has inconsistent ejection also.
Are the TFB banana hammock, emory board and chip clip available yet?
I’m getting one. Fine. You helped sell me. I actually went to buy one last month and left out the store worth a Ruger 57. I’m going back for this soon.
Anyone ever tell you that you look like a Young Fred Ward?
This pistol fits my hand like a glove, I like the manual safety, shoots well and the kind of an Olive Drab looking finish is very appealing. I find it shoots best with 124 gr ammo. I have absolutely no complaints.
You’re recoil spring was in backwards
Ahhh you lucky americans. I own the early 5" pro. Cant buy a second handgun, must go trough hell to swap mine to 2.0 🙁
When do we get the “James” edition TBFTtv short shorts
Is there a black version
I have the one but with no safety,I’m having a hard time to find an optic(red dot) that’s compatible with this gun.. can anyone help!?.
P10c has a better trigger, glock has more upgrades, m&p is the better shooter for me overall.
$499 this was submitted it lost but so did Glock they lost as well sig got the contract that’s a beast 17 rounds!!The top of the line mp and still $499
Gun store called *immaglockdealer* got all this guns in store you can hit them up on *wickr* fast delivery and reliable
does any one here know if smith still makes the version of this with the thumb safety
6:30 Definitely a more aesthetically pleasing pistol than the glock.
Great review!
I beleive your spring is in backwards
I have the same gun which I love and compete in Steel challenge with. The only current upgrade are TFO sights. Some real world feedback.
1. Out of the box my trigger was meh. After a few hundred rounds and a couple cleanings it was 100% better. Clean, crisp with a great reset. Not an APEX but darn good.
2. Due to slide weight and/or spring weight this gun prefers warm 115grn, or 124-147 grain ammo. Light target loads will give weak ejection.
3. With over 5k rounds through this gun, I’ve only had one stovepipe/ FTE with Rem UMC 115 very early on.
Great review! I’d gave the manual safety removed, but other than that, very nice.
I was sad to see some Optics Ready 2.0 5” listed as “Law Enforcement Only” on S&W’s website.
I don’t understand why there is not a 45 or 10mm with the five-inch barrel. Duh, just f me to tears.
