Smith & Wesson's M&P M2.0 is a significant revision of the storied firm's striker-fired polymer service pistol and defensive juggernaut. Preserving the original's ideal grip shape, the new gun incorporates a host of enhancements including a crisper, lighter trigger and from slide serrations. 



    

American Rifleman's Brian Sheetz was one of the first in line at SHOT Show 2017 to put a few rounds downrange with the new model. Watch the video here and for more, visit smith-wesson.com.
