I bought my new S&W M&P 2.0 .40 Compact a few weeks ago for $399 + FFL fee. Came with night sights & 3 mags. Not even leo price.
It runs on my reloads of a 180 gr coated bullet loaded to under 850 fps and Underwood 155 gr XTP's that clock over 1200 fps from the 4 in. barrel.
My full size 2.0 .45 has eaten bare lead flat-nosed bullets until the feed ramp / frame area was covered in a thick layer of sticky lead. I don't know how it still fed the cartridges like that!
Never a stoppage, accurate, and never throw a case at me.
Less recoil than Glocks, too. I presume because there is just a little more weight in the frame, being metal-lined.
Not a S&W fan but the M&P 2.0's don't get the credit they deserve.
Just the one gen4 here, G19.
Gotta say, love the grip. Better than gen 2 or 3. I've done a grip rediction/stiple on the G19H (gen3) I carry now, to approximate it.
No BTF issue with my gen 4, only observation is brass lands in a neater pile, closer by (dual spring RSA will do that, I guess, I like it), and often the very last case will flip out over the front of the gun. But none to the face, in any shooting position.
Gen 5? No thanks, no want for ambi slide release, and hate the Marksman barrel. Bought one of those barrels, wouldn't fully chamber some of my ammo ( ammo that's just fine in EVERY 9mm we own) due to a tight, short leade.
Sold it REAL fast.
I’m good with .40 overall and still use it. For me, 40 was good in some guns but not so in others. I talking comfort wise, not reliability or accuracy so purely subjective. I didn’t like the Beretta 96, HK USP, Sig 226, Sig 320 any size or iteration, FNP/ FNS in 40. Glocks, M&Ps, HK P30& VP 40, Sig 229, S&W 3rd Gen are all good to go for me at least. I have a friend who loves his 1911 in .40 & for the life of me can’t remember who makes it!

2.0 is substantially better IMO then the 1.0. The 2.0 trigger is "crunchy" but eventually breaks in nicely and becomes smooth with a predictable wall, then quickly and predictably lightens to
the break.
I love the texture. It comes a little too rough. Then you take sandpaper to it and rub lightly only in the places you want to. Doesn't look any different where you do so and it's customized to your liking.

Good to know. If I stick with the 40 for a while, I'll check one out.

I use to carry my Gen4.23 up until getting a Sig X Macro a few months ago.
