Hey apex. I have a question. If you watch the video towards the end. You will notice a mark on the sear like cracking. My 2.0 5inch has the same mark. I thought it was a defect but apparently not.
Two biggest negatives are in the claim the M&P 2.0 pistol is ambidextrous. For sure it is not. The magazine release is either left or right. Not both. And it has to be stripped down to switch. But the bigger issue is the slide release. There is one there for the left thumb but it is unusable. Takes a hammer to work it. Sad for such a good gun otherwise.
it actually is ambi, they dont claim that its usable right or left handed at all times, ambidextrous on a firearm usually means its reversable with a few exceptions, as for the slide STOP, it is ambi although the slide STOP on the right side of the 2.0 takes about 2x the force to manipulate, the 2.0 is designed to be put back into battery by pulling the slide back the last few mm, it's in the manual btw. pretty much any other polymer frame handgun has a very shallow slide stop groove, the 2.0 was designed to be different clearly, the slide stop is cut 2-3x further into the slide than other pistols, and at an angle that creates obvious friction one way and none the other, its weird but it works great, tap rack bang doesnt use a slide release lever so its pretty useless anyways.
Good luck putting it back together.
Actually, it's pretty easy.
Thank you for this video!

This is the factory MIM sear. It is not one of our Fully Machined Sears for the M&P line.
I have a 40 cal version of this, but it does not have a safety switch. Can a safety be added to the versions without a safety?
Yes. I did exactly that. Cost me about 30 bucks I recall.
Good info
the spring beneath the slide release on mine is jammed any suggestions?
