Quantico Tactical just sent me an email with ad for M&P 2.0 for $399 for all legal purchasers (not just LE and MIL). Wonder if they are moving inventory or trying to get the gun money that would have been going to SIG for 320s?

They're offsetting the cost of supplying an accurate barrel.

Wasnt the issue with the original fullsize 9mm a early unlocking/tolerance issue and not a barrel one?

Not sure if there was a consensus. I read that S&W changed the barrel twist, but also there was an unlocking issue, so unsure.

Think it was generally agreed upon as both. The twist rate was changed to a normal one but there was a longer debate about whether the fit was improved. I bought one of the LEO SKUs years ago though, been a great gun. If only they'd make a G19 sized variant.

I always thought the twist rate was changed because S&W thought it would fix the random flyers, but it didnt change much IIRC. I remember when it was identified as the early unlocking because there was a M&P thread on various barrels and how they marginally improved accuracy. At the time, it was a theory by various posters that it was unlocking early when fired. Then Randy Lee from Apex came around with his barrel and confirmed the tolerance issue as to why it was shitty with accuracy.

In short, $399 for a full size 2.0 9mm is a great deal. I have 3100+ rounds on mine so far. Accuracy is now on par with most duty pistols (huge improvement over the original FS), and it shoots softly. The stippling is awesome if you like aggressive grips.

Can I trade in my Sig P320c for it?

I thought I heard somewhere on this forum that the M&P9 2.0 pistols were pretty ok....until you get them north of 2,000 rounds and then they start showing signs of inaccuracy at distance. Any update on that?

If that's true and their accurate, drop safe, and still have the nice manual safety that would be a nice alternative to a glock 19

Our LE sales rep also hinted that a Glock 19 sized gun is definitely a possibility. But then he's new. And when he came out to conduct a demo on the new 2.0 pistol, all he brought were 40 caliber 2.0 pistols for us to compare to our current issued original M&P pistols. Did I mention that we are a 9mm agency???

I'll believe a Glock 19 sized M&P 2.0 when I'm holding one in my hand.

I myself havent seen anything of the sort. Im north of 3100 rounds. Off a rest, im getting on average 2.5 inch groups with various ammo at 25 yards. This has remained consistent since I got the gun but 25 yards typically isnt what I shoot. Im pretty sure someone with better eyes & a steadier hand could get better groups than me. I did the 25 yard testing every 500 rounds (give or take) with the 2.0 because I had concerns about early unlocking. No issues.

Like coN I've had great luck so far. I'm well over the 2k mark too, without cleaning or maintenance. And only replacing the OEM sights with something less coarse (Dawson Charger rear/FO front). At the end of every range session with it, I send five into the IDPA headbox at 25yds, to make sure there is no marked degradation in the weakest link (me) of that system. The gun is certainly doing its part though. I am still an M&P fan.

My Wife has the 4 1/4" Barrel M2.0 .. I have the 5" model.
Both have been reliable and good at 25 yards.
Also have the 45 version.

The 45 M2.0 with my reloads is almost HK 45 accurate at 25 yards.
