Smith and Wesson M&P9 M2.0 Metal

[Noah]

These work with standard holsters?

Yes.

I still really want one. No logical reason I can defend it with. But I almost bought yesterday. I am just a sucker for metal-frame polymer guns I guess, I've almost bought the AXG a few times too.

After dealing with the Glock metal frame and the issues that arose with the locking block and with the required buffer, I would be very hesitant to be an early adopter. The good news, unlike the Glock offering, is S&W themselves is doing the frame. Hopefully S&W did not make the same mistakes made with the "Alloy Extreme" Glock.

Must be a typo on the weight difference:

I handled one the other day and it just didn't feel that much heavier than any other other 4.25" M&P. I'll admit to being intrigued but for $100 less I can get the Spec Series from the same LGS and add a safety to it.

Is there another $100 worth of cool factor in it? I dunno...

It's only 2 or 3 oz heavier

I recall a time when 5" barreled, metal frame pistols were all the rage...

[LockedBreech]

I made myself not buy it by listing out all the 3.9"-5" service pistols chambered in 9x19 I own already:

- Glock 17 Gen 4
- Glock 17 Gen 5
- Glock 19 Gen 5
- M&P 2.0 Pro Series 5"
- M&P 2.0 Compact 4"
- Sig M17-B 4.7"
- Sig P2022 4"
- CZ-75BD 4.7"
- Beretta 92FS 4.9"
- Beretta 92A1 4.9"
- Beretta APX 4.3"

Oh, and then there's the ones I HAVE owned:

- Glock 19 Gen 4
- Sig P2022 4" (Stainless)
- Sig P6 3.9"
- HK P30 3.9"
- HK VP9 4.1"
- Beretta 92S 4.9"
- Springfield Armory XD 4"
- CZ PCR 3.75" (a bit under 3.9, honorable mention)
- Beretta PX4 Compact 3.3" (a bit under 3.9, honorable mention)

What a delightful hobby (addiction) we have. I think I'll focus on buying a house for now, lol.

A 5" competition version of the Metal appears to be leaked in the S&W Metal's owners manual:



Should begin 15:19 for accidental leak:

I also have an irrational desire to turn one into my own Stack-A-Toe.
