( 5 out of 5) Great pistol that comes with a great price!

by John from lindenhurst, IL on May 5, 2019

I ordered this pistol last week from this site. It came with a great price tag, $300. It was almost too hard to pass up. So I purchased the pistol in the early morning, and to my surprise, it shipped later that afternoon! My FFL was already in their database, which made things go quick and easy. When I went to pick up my pistol, I was pleased that it came in a hard, lockable, case. Most firearms companies are dialing back on this practice, I'm glad Smith and Wesson is not. This pistol came with 2 13 round magazines. It also came with 4 different sized grips, to customize your hand size. It came with your standard firearm lock and barrel flag, as well as 2 magazine extenders, my guess is to fit the older M&P mags, if you have any laying around.



The pistol itself is, what I would classify as, a medium-sized pistol. The term compact is relative. I knew this going in, so I knew what I was getting in to. You might be able to conceal this pistol, though it would definitely be on the large size for that. I have large hands, so I found the large grip to be a perfect size for me. This is my first Smith and Wesson pistol purchase, so I can't comment on the differences from the older M&P to the 2.0. I will say that I like the trigger a lot. It is not spongy at all. I like the magazine eject, which is strong and will clear the magazine easily. Ive read some people gripe about the aggressive grip, but I like it. Especially after 30 minutes into a range session and your palms start sweating. The fish-scale slide grip is also nice, for the reasons I stated above. Field stripping the pistol is easy. They do have a safety switch you can click to remove the slide, without depressing the trigger, which I guess is a nice feature, though I doubt I will use that much.



As far as firing the pistol, I've found no issues at all, though I've only fired 165 grain ammo through it thus far. I plan to try out a few different grain loads mixed in with some different hollow point ammo, just to see how ammo feeds through it. The only real gripe I have is the sights are all white. I prefer the center be a different color, for faster target acquisition. Other than that this pistol is a real value at a great price. Highly Recommend it.
