How about the guns themselves ? I recall you sold off the 5"
Still have a pair of 4.25s but have moved them out of daily use roles.
I am shooting the five inch in competition, but haven’t done enough comparison testing with the 4.25 to offer anything intelligent beyond the 4.25 is easier to carry.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Thanks this would strictly be a range /training gun as I have access to a fair amount of .40 cal.
I have been thinking about a Glock or P3 20 style roll in special built in 40 but after shooting JM Campbells ported MNP nine with plus PMO I think the ported 40 will accomplish the same goal.
I spent some time shooting a 4.25 CORE, alongside a 5.0 CORE, using the same lower with an Apex trigger to minimize variation besides the upper. I really enjoyed shooting the 4.25, and wouldn’t feel bad carrying it, but the 5.0 was a better shooting gun in my hands, at least today.

Have you had any time on a compact 2.0?

My normal configuration is the 4.25 core upper on a compact lower, but I chose the full size lower for evaluation purposes. I do like the 4.25 on the compact lower, and I am awaiting availability of the new 4.0 core model.

I had found a few of the M2.0 compacts on GB and purchased one. It arrived today. The front serrations are a very nice addition and look quite good. Another nice, unexpected surprise were the extended slide release levers. I've been following the release of this pistol since it was announced and don't remember ever hearing about extended slide levers.
They're noticeably bigger than the levers on my other M2.0s
Some other observations:
-Slide to frame fit was tight but not in a negative way.
-Trigger take up is a bit gritty but I'm hopeful it smooths out with some use.
-Thumb Safety. The only reason I got the TS model was because the vendor I found these guns at was selling them for $70 less than NTS models. As easy and cheap as it is to remove the safety I figured it was a minor inconvenience. Having said that, the safety isn't bad. It's activation/deactivation is crisp and tactile.
-I'm not a big fan of the plastic plates. I'm sure they're fine but I really dislike how much the hang over the slide. Probably just an esthetic thing but it's going to require me to either slightly modify the plate or a couple of my EDC holsters. I think when I can acquire a CHPWS plate it will be a non-issue.
Overall, I really like the features S&W put into this pistol and I'm glad it's finally available. I'm really looking forward to putting it to work and trying to decide what optic to use.
