Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

The M&P line has been around long enough to earn its reputation, and the M2.0 generation is where Smith & Wesson fixed the things shooters had been asking about for years. The trigger got a meaningful overhaul — lighter pull, less mush at the wall, and a tactile, audible reset that you can feel and hear clearly during rapid fire. The 4.6-inch stainless steel barrel runs a 1-in-15-inch twist and wears S&W's Armornite finish, which is a corrosion-resistant treatment applied to both the barrel and slide. Paired with a low bore axis, this setup keeps muzzle flip manageable for a full-size .45.
The grip system is one of the best things going on this pistol. Four interchangeable palmswell inserts — small, medium, medium-large, and large — ship in the box, so you're not locked into one grip size. Two of those inserts include an extended beavertail, which helps with high grip placement. The texture itself is aggressive, comparable to skateboard tape, and covers the full circumference of the grip including the front strap. It grips your hand hard enough that the gun stays put even when things get sweaty. The 18-degree grip angle draws frequent comparisons to the 1911, and for good reason — it encourages a natural wrist position that lets most people point the gun accurately without thinking about it.
The manual thumb safety on this configuration is ambidextrous, with broad levers that are easy to reach without being in the way. The slide stop is mirrored on both sides, and the magazine release is reversible for left-handed users. Takedown uses S&W's sear deactivation lever, meaning you can field strip the gun without pulling the trigger first — a detail that matters both for safety and for range convenience. The Picatinny-style accessory rail up front gives you room for a weapon light or laser without any adapter required.
The extended stainless steel chassis embedded in the polymer frame reduces flex and torque during firing, which contributes to the pistol's solid, planted feel in hand. The bore axis is kept low, and the combination of that design choice with the grip angle means recoil tracks straight back rather than rotating upward — something you notice quickly when running fast follow-up shots. The steel-body magazines hold 10 rounds flush, and the package ships with two of them. Fit, finish, and reliability across multiple reviews and user accounts have consistently landed in the same place: this gun runs, points well, and holds together.
Yes, the thumb safety on this model is ambidextrous, with levers on both sides of the frame. The slide stop is also mirrored on both sides, and the magazine release is reversible, making this a genuinely left-hand-friendly pistol without any modifications required.
The M2.0 trigger is a noticeable step up from the original M&P. Smith & Wesson refined the pull to be lighter and cleaner, with less of the mushy take-up that the first generation was known for. The reset is also shorter and more positive, with a tactile and audible click that makes it easy to ride during fast strings of fire.
The pistol ships with four palmswell inserts in small, medium, medium-large, and large — the medium size comes installed. Two of the larger inserts also feature an extended beavertail. Swapping them involves rotating a pin at the base of the magazine well 90 degrees and pulling straight down. The whole process takes about 20 seconds and requires no tools.
Armornite is Smith & Wesson's proprietary corrosion-resistant surface treatment applied to both the stainless steel barrel and slide. It provides a durable matte black appearance and significantly outperforms standard blued finishes in salt spray and corrosion testing. It also adds to surface hardness, which helps with wear resistance over a long service life.
In most cases, yes. The M2.0 shares the same basic external dimensions and profile as the original M&P45, and many holsters designed for the first generation will fit the M2.0. That said, it's always worth confirming with the holster manufacturer, as small dimensional differences or rail height can occasionally affect fitment.
For a polymer-frame .45, the M&P45 M2.0 is widely regarded as soft-shooting. The low bore axis keeps muzzle flip in check, and the 18-degree grip angle directs recoil straight back into the hand rather than rotating upward. Most people who put rounds through it comment on how quickly they can get back on target for follow-up shots.
