NEW: Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 – Available in Canada?

Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0

Smith & Wesson just released the new M&P 2.0!  I for one am very excited about it.  I have an M&P and am looking forward to shooting the upgraded version.  I haven’t seen any retailers in Canada carrying it thus far but I am sure its on its way.  I noticed some great sale prices on the original Smith & Wesson M&P over Christmas so I figured something was coming.  I have included the info directly from SW below.

As far as I can tell there are many upgrades such as better trigger (big plus), more aggressive grip, more grip options, longer internal slide rail, more ambidextrous features…

I don’t know what price the M&P 2.0 will go for in Canada and am not sure if it will come in a range kit as the current model does.  I assume it will be around the same price and most likely will come in a range kit.  Either way I am sure I will be grabbing one when they come out.  Great part is the magazines from what I have read have been changed but the old mags will still work, thats always a plus.  I hope the new mags are easier to load as the current ones are a pain in the butt without a mag loader.

Only time will tell if it’s as reliable as the current model.  I haven’t even finished my review of the Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm Range Kit I currently own so I guess I better get on that!  But I can tell you right now its reliable as hell.  Shot it in the cold, heat and rain.  I have shot about 800 rounds threw it and not a single issue.  Not a ton of rounds but a good sample.  More on that in my up coming review.
