I've got my eye on the new Performance Center M&P 9 2.0 Ported Barrel & Slide C.O.R.E. SKU: 11831
I'm a fan of compensated/ported slide/barrel pistols. I find the end mounted comps offer better performance but I'm not a fan of their length and added complexity.
Let me know if/when they are in stock somewhere.
Why the heck is S&W lagging so far behind the other manufacturers in the release of optics ready models across their M&P line?
I've been wanting to switch to the M&P platform, specifically the 4" compact model. However, I've also wanted to get into a red dot. I've been waiting for quite a while now, and I only really have a use for the G19 sized guns.
Is there something about the M&P, or the 2.0s specifically, that makes it more challenging to incorporate the optics mounting solutions? I was hoping 2020 SHOT show would be the ticket. No joy.
It's frustrating because I don't want to invest money into a different manufacturer's optic platform when I know I want to switch--wholesale--from Glocks to the M&P platform. I have members of the family that have small hands, and I also get a much better trigger reach on an M&P with small grip inserts.
S&W is making it hard for me to buy into their product line.
S&W had the 4” compact CORE at SHOT... they move slowly but tentative availability is March.

Odin bless you, Sir! You have made me a happy, happy camper!

The LE 4” Compact CORE, and 5” 9L CORE are live and available for order through your local LE S&W dealer according to my rep.
4” Compact CORE SKU# 12569
5” 9L CORE SKU# 12661
Why are they not available to everyone at the same time?
Stupid marketing move. S&W pissing off more of its customer core base.
Excellent news!
9L PC CORE: https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearm...eries-5-barrel
4.25 PC CORE: https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearm...ies-425-barrel
So they will be selling standalone slides for those of us already with 2.0s? If so, Smith gets my money. If not, somebody else gets it for a mill job.
Part of the reason I got a 320 RX in the first place was it was just plug and play to try out a dot on a handgun.
