Description
The 10mm Auto has made a real comeback over the last few years, and Smith & Wesson answered the call by chambering their flagship M&P M2.0 platform for it. What makes this one stand out from other big-bore autos is how normal it feels in the hand. The grip is barely wider than the 9mm version, so you get 15+1 rounds of full-power 10mm without the fat, blocky grip that plagues a lot of double-stack pistols in this caliber. Four interchangeable palmswell inserts let you dial in the fit, and the aggressive M2.0 texturing keeps the gun planted when you run hot loads through it.
Built to Handle Full-Power 10mm
Recoil management is where this pistol earns its keep. The low bore axis keeps muzzle rise in check, and the extended stainless steel chassis embedded in the frame cuts down on flex and torque during firing. The 4.6 inch stainless barrel wears an Armornite finish for corrosion resistance, which matters if this gun is riding on your hip through rain, sweat, and trail dust. The flat-face M2.0 trigger gives you consistent finger placement and a crisp break with a tactile, audible reset that makes fast follow-up shots feel natural.
Optics Ready From the Factory
The slide comes cut for red dots, and the tall white 3-dot sights are set at optic height, so they co-witness through most micro red dots without swapping in aftermarket suppressor sights. Forward slide serrations make press checks easy even with an optic mounted, and the Picatinny rail up front takes a light or laser without fuss. Takedown happens without pulling the trigger thanks to the sear deactivation lever, a small detail that plenty of owners appreciate at cleaning time.
Where the M&P 10mm M2.0 Fits
This is the pistol for hunters packing a sidearm, hikers in bear country, and anyone who wants more thump than a 9mm delivers. Load it down with target ammo for affordable range days or run heavy hard-cast loads when the situation calls for it. Two 15-round magazines come in the box, so you're set from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the iron sights on the M&P M2.0 10mm co-witness with a red dot?
Yes, that's one of the nicest touches on this pistol. Smith & Wesson ships it with taller optic-height white 3-dot sights, so once you mount a micro red dot in the slide cut, the irons remain visible through the window. You won't need to buy aftermarket suppressor-height sights like you do with a lot of optics-ready pistols.
Is the M&P M2.0 10mm a good choice for bear country or backcountry carry?
It's one of the more popular picks for exactly that role. You get 15+1 rounds of 10mm in a pistol that weighs just over 29 ounces, and the Armornite finish holds up well to the elements. Load it with heavy hard-cast or bonded loads and it makes a very capable trail companion.
Does this model have a manual thumb safety?
No, this version (MPN 13387) has no external thumb safety, relying instead on the striker-fired trigger safety system. Smith & Wesson does make a separate thumb safety variant of the M&P 10mm M2.0 if you prefer one, but this SKU keeps the slide sides clean.
How does the recoil compare to a 9mm or .45?
Full-power 10mm has noticeably more pop than 9mm, there's no way around that. That said, the low bore axis, aggressive grip texture, and embedded steel chassis do a solid job of taming muzzle flip, and most people find it settles back on target quickly. Running standard-pressure practice ammo makes range sessions feel much closer to a .40 in terms of recoil.
