Thank you! I shot various Glocks, M&Ps, and the Walther PDP. I was best when aiming with M&P 2.0 metal (full size). Since polymer one is cheaper, this video helped give me valuable insight into differences.

Nice video. I picked up the 2.0 9mm on a whim last summer. It was suppose to be a range pistol for my wife who wanted something with a manual safety. I carried a Dan Wesson 9mm 1911 for a couple of years and the safety on the M&P feels natural to me. The 2.0 hasn't replaced my optic equipped VP9 but it does get it's fair share of carry time. I'm currently waiting to see if my first responder status will allow me to get my hands on the all black 2.0 Metal.
@fullarmortrainingllc5 ай бұрын
Thank you. Yeah, the 2.0 definitely sits well with me. I've played around with a vp9, but I never bought one. That black 2.0 metal is definitely cool looking.

I have the Metal and just this past week got another metal gun . A CZ shadow 2 compact. With the compact they went with the Aluminum lower also vs the steel of the larger one. Cut a good 10oz off the weight over the full sized shadow 2.

Great Video, Why I selected your video was the pistols optic (CORE) I am having a problem finding an optic to fit my M&P9L CORE probably the first edition. I have bought a vortex razor red dot and a Leupold Delta Pro and both do not fit. I even called Leupold yesterday and they do not make a plate for it lighter. I am not sure if the M&P9L has the same foot print as the new 2.0, do you have any info you could share?
@fullarmortrainingllc6 ай бұрын
The 1.0 and 2.0 have slightly different mounting plates. I know c&h precision makes a plate, but for rmr footprint optics only like the holosun and trijicon rmr. I would check midway usa or optics planet. I apologize, but I do not have any experience with the 1.0 all mine are are 2.0

How does the slide release compare between the two? As a lefty the detent on the polymer 2.0's makes it a non-starter but it looks like the metal ones don't have the detent.

Aluminum does not rust like steel. It may have oxidation corrosion over time on BARE parts but this is pretty well covered. The frame will not rust like a steel one would sitting in a safe etc for a long time or even carrying.

Good video showing the differences between the two but you should have weighed the light and done the math to see the real difference in the weights of the frames.

So you can install a manual safety on the m&ps without a safety alrdy? so pop the thing out and good to install, is it easy to install?
@fullarmortrainingllc6 ай бұрын
That is correct. I found it somewhat easy. There are plenty of videos online that show you. Apex tactical has a really section part in their trigger installation video that step by step helps tremendously.

I see the metal frame of striker fire pistols being a trend toward the future much like red dots and lasers were/are. This will be the gucci glock round two. As for me, I'm interested in this just because I like metal frames and the fact it's becoming readily available among other OEM's besides Sig, Canik, IWI, and aftermarket's is a good choice for consumers if they want it. Metal frames shoot flatter and are more rigid stock for stock vs. Polymer
@fullarmortrainingllc7 ай бұрын
I agree with you. I wish S&W would have gone steel, though. The frame feels more solid in hand, but it is only 2 ounces heavier. To me, a steel frame would have made more sense.

2oz isn't a lot, but its roughly 20% heavier. I do agree with you, just wanted to point that out. I expected a CZ Shadow heft, but it's much closer to polymer than that.

Yeah, they shoot about the same. Obviously, the metal feels a little more solid in the hand, but it's not terrible. Maybe one day they'll put a steel frame on one.

@@fullarmortrainingllc yeah, one can hope. I wish we could find out a "no bs" reason behind the development. If they were seeing a particular data point significantly improve, or was it solely a cash grab. I don't care which one it is, because I'm more interested in the engineering reasons. I think we know which one it was, but still.

@HelloThere-ez6rb yes, I have the 5", the 4.25", and the 4". I like the 4.25" best because it's full size. I'm a big fan of it and carry it daily. It is 100% personal preference though. The only thing I would say is test before buying, get something you can shoot, and would want to carry everyday.
