We came full circle: They made polymer-guns to make them cheaper, lighter etc, the polymer-gun evolved and now they make them in metal again - because cool. I really love the looks, S&W got a hit there IMO.
It's funny that the reviewers that have been bad mouthing Smith and Wesson are not in the official reviewers loop. They are butt hurt as Smith didn't send them a gun to review. They typically praise guns made in Turkey because they are cheap. My Shield Plus and Equalizer are awesome American made guns that function flawlessly. I also applaud Smith and Wesson's CEO for standing up to the liberal gun banners in congress. I'll probably never purchase a race gun but enjoy Jerry and Smith and Wesson.
@@HammondArmory All I'm saying is that my Smith and Wesson products, as well as those of my friends, work great, look good, are reliable and American made which is a big deal to me. Whether shills or butt hurt wannabe schills, the proof is the performance and whether the buyer is satisfied. Of course my opinion and yours are just that, opinions.
@@chriscarnes87 like Jerry said, there's a lawyer behind every blade of grass. You know what you're doing but maybe Bubba and Cletus would put the parts in wrong and blow their pointy little heads off.
I’m so glad to see your review. I just bought that same pistol last Saturday and I haven’t been able to fire it yet now I’m glad I did buy it. Thank you for your review.
Always amazed at wall behind Jerry with all of the bullets and ammo boxes behind him from all the years of shooting. Would be cool to see a video of some of the more unique or rare items back there.
Wow, you don't like that chamber indicator too. Since we use optics now, I've never understood why they keep putting those in guns. There are other methods of chamber indicators that don't blow carbon on the optic lens. Just pick one and use it.
To be a professional exhibition shooter you have to be able to know enough about what you are shooting in order to get the gun to run like you want it to. I'm in no way up to Jerry's calibration but I am calibrated too only on a different level. I wish I could shoot as often as Jerry but I don't have access anymore to our old family property. Sold! Hopefully I can find another piece somewhere, and I will have total control over that one. Getting hard to find places to shoot any more. You can at least still go and shoot off of the bridges in the country and shoot water mocassins in the spring. Good shooting Jerry, I like that S&W. Wonder if it comes in .30 carbine?
Are those actually useable front serrations 😊 Also agree…the “chamber” indicator is a waste-difficult to see in good light, forget it in the dark; press check (or better yet, look at Taurus tactile chamber indicator on the side)
Beautiful review and some mighty fine shootio. I got mine home today. Anxious to get it to the range. The trigger is different than my Walther PDP. Dry fire the Walther feels better but you can't obviously go y that. It will be interesting to see the S&W vs the Canik Rival SFX S. Two all metal guns with exactly the same price. Keep them g#ns coming.
Sir! You shoot for them they should give you anything you ask for ! Besides that you are one of the greats in the firearms industry! Thank you for all you do to make the industry great. 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was super proud of myself with a 2.06 at the bill drill.sode match last year at CO nats. Mr. Jerry pops a 2.18 and says its a slow controlled 6 shots. Got to love this guy. Also i just picked up my first S&W and it is the metal 4.25. This thing is awesome. Feels very close to a 1911, amd trigger is really good for a stryker fired gun.
My son and I have the honored to meet Jerry two times in one year, he shook my hands both times, what a great role model. And were just hillbillies in Montana
Gorgeous pistol! I like that you can disassemble it without pulling the trigger. S&W semi-auto's have come a long way over the years. Now, if I could only afford one!
I have always liked a Metal frame guns. I own some Beretta's and a few other full metal frame guns and I like them all. Might just have to give this one a try.
hello! I have a question. I hope you could answer for me. I have two Smith and Wesson M2.0 one full size 4.25 17 round magazine and one compact 3.6 15 round magazine, can I use the 15 round magazine in my 17 round pistol? Thank you! In advance
Still shooting a polymer 5" M2.0 CORE. Shot the X5 Legion for a year, which I found easy compared to the M&P, but I prefer the smith ergos. Any justification for owning a Competitor instead of a polymer CORE if I don't need a magwell of extended mag release?
Look, I love the M&P, but the ability to take the gun down without pulling the trigger is BS. I NEVER use the lever to break the gun down. I’m responsible enough to pull the trigger to break it down. Love S&W, but pls stop with this BS as if it’s a legitimate design function. IT IS NOT!!!
I'm just gonna have to go put in an order for one of these babies. I have a version one M&P that is 7 or 8 years old....don't remember. It has fired nothing but reloads from my bench and it has never let me down in the local pistol comps and 3-gun matches. Just a beast. I think the M&P is behind my XDM 5.25 by 8,000 rounds because I bought the M&P a year after the XDM.
Hope u see this comment Jerry. U have inspired me to train harder and so I am looking for a durable affordable platform. Whould u still recommend this after shooting it for a year?? God bless.
I REALLY love these two last new 2.0 metal pistols from Smith&Wesson. I know I'll be purchasing the 1st 2.0 metal next Saturday. Then the Competitor 2.0 metal in January. I've been doing the review on the 1st 2.0 metal for the last month. Leraning the whole breakdown of the pistol. I even ordered up a dry fire kit from G-site to practice with the pistol when I get it and to train my eyes to focus before I get the pistol I ordered up Chris sajnog shooters string. Love this product. Since I've had it a week now. My focus is GREATLY improved
I have the Metal M&P 2.0,and it's the best gun that I ever have owned! Although this new one looks cool,the only thing that I would like to have on mine is that green sight on the end of the barrel! My gun is so hot and accurate that I don't need to waste my money on a red dot sight that you have to change batteries on!😊⭐Ps. I have fired a $2,000 CZ 75 and I think my Metal M&P 2.0 is a better gun for less than half the price of the CZ 75!⭐
Jerry isn’t going to keep this factory, the more he learns the more will be modified, I look forward to seeing what he does with it. I’m a CZ guy for competitive shooting but no denying Smith have done a great job.
I enjoyed the details of how this MP is different than the polymer models that preceded it. I did not get those details from some of the other channels that released videos on day 1 of its release.
My m&p metal.i bumped the plastic back strap it broke off it will kill you the mag will not go in with out the back strap. Let people no.just need to duck tape it now its better than new
I have never understood the problem with pulling the trigger of an EMPTY (safe) gun. Is it a technical issue that causes damage to striker or a psychological issue at user's end? Why would anyone have any problem with pulling the trigger of an EMPTY gun? If you say oh well it may not be completely empty, then we have a much bigger problem in our hands. If you cannot verify and be sure if any particular firearm is in safe condition, what are you doing trying to disassemble it?? I really cannot understand. My only explanation is psychological issues on user's end. If your firearms handling practices are based on feelings, fears, probabilities, chances, and other beliefs rather than evidence and reason, you should not handle firearms. I get that manufacturers have to include those features to fulfill the sales requirements, but if you are having psycgological troubles pulling the trigger of an EMPTY gun on your bench to disassemble it, it think you owe it to your self to have a hard look at your own firearm handling practices.
The reason the M&P has that disassembly feature is that some police agency’s had policies that services weapons had to be able to be disassembled without pulling the trigger. It was a requirement that was gaining popularity with police departments in the early 2000’s when the M&P was introduced. It was entirely a design choice to get more law enforcement contracts that’s carried over ever since, even though most departments have gone away from that type of requirement.
I’m wondering why S&W decided to make the frame aluminum. As the metal gun weighs just about the same as the polymer 5 inch m&p. Competition wise, I would think people would prefer all steel for the additional weight. Just a thought, not completely disregarding the gun.
This is what I've been screaming from the rooftops since this released. How does a Turkish company like Canik realize this better than an American company with the release of their Rival Steel model?
Greetings from the I20 end of LA. Questions for you, Jerry. Why isnt a ported barrel allowed in production class? Isnt a compensator allowed in production class? What are common 'upgrades' in the open class, that arent allowed in the production class, and how significant are they?
So which American manufacturer is going to make an all metal double stack 10mm we’ve all been waiting for? Sig Sauer and Smith have the mags. Who’s gonna be first? Springfield? Wilson Combat? Someone step up to the plate please.
These are really sharp looking guns. I just wish they weren't pushing $900 when it's said and done. I just got a Canik Rival for my first pistol, I am looking for a 2nd one that's a little smaller to carry
Hi Jerry I have been a fan of you for a long time sir you are the best!... I have a question for you I watched your video on the smith metal 2.0 I enjoyed it so much I went out grabbed one. My question is what is the best optic for this pistol? Any input would be appreciated...thanks in advance Jerry
I have been saying the same thing about S&W empty chamber indicators for years!!! They cause debris to get on the window of your optic. Which is why I always tell people to get it milled so you can put that rear sight in front to solve that problem. Thanks you for being truthful about their products Jerry.
I really love that Jerry works on his own guns
The Man , The Myth , The Legend !!
This scenery is wonderful! A legend of simplicity!
Congrats from Brazil! 👍🎯
Never gets old, I’ve read his shooting style since the 90s and now early late 2000 thru RUclips
We came full circle: They made polymer-guns to make them cheaper, lighter etc, the polymer-gun evolved and now they make them in metal again - because cool. I really love the looks, S&W got a hit there IMO.
Aluminum is just hard plastic. Jk. I hope it’s at least 6065 anodized.
yeah looks nice and metal is better for reliability and could possible help with recoil
Jerry is one of a few that I enjoy watching. Very honest with his assessment of firearms.
It's funny that the reviewers that have been bad mouthing Smith and Wesson are not in the official reviewers loop. They are butt hurt as Smith didn't send them a gun to review.

Or maybe the ones in "the official loop" are there because they are shills?? It's hard to believe most of the reviews because of bias either way...
The only problem with S&W is they won’t sell you parts directly, you have to send their guns in.

Because SW sponsored shooters reviewing SW are gonna be 100% objective about the company product that pays them for a living.
It’s hard to watch JM shoot slow.
Looks like a really nice firearm.
So true! So use to him saying" this will only take a second "
YES!!! I've been asking and waiting for a metal framed M&P and especially a competition version after the first metal frame came out.
Such a great shooter. And gotta be the best pistol review I've ever viewed. Thank you Jerry.
Looks like a winner. Thanks Jerry. Have a great day! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Woohoo ! A modern METAL ,striker fired pistol .I can't wait to get one
I’m so glad to see your review. I just bought that same pistol last Saturday and I haven’t been able to fire it yet now I’m glad I did buy it. Thank you for your review.
Purchased it today just need wait a week for background here in jersey 😅 . Have you gotten around to shooting yours yet?

I love my metal 2.0. Great shoot, so accurate & fun.
Wish I knew about the competitor before though. Love long guns.
The only competitive shooter that can say what he Doesn't like about the gun... And Still NOT lose His sponsorship... Don't Overthink It...

I wholeheartedly approve of more firearms being made from metal! I am way beyond bored with plastic guns. 🔫
Are those actually useable front serrations 😊
Also agree…the “chamber” indicator is a waste-difficult to see in good light, forget it in the dark; press check (or better yet, look at Taurus tactile chamber indicator on the side)
I have no problems pulling the trigger for disassembly.
Now they just need a steel frame version and I'll be interested.
I love Jerry, watching his videos feels like hanging out with a cool grandpa who also happens to be a world class shooter.
Would love a tour of Jerry’s gun room
Yesss!! Would need to be a mini series lol

Now I definitely want one… High-end though tough. Yeah 🤘🏼
Smith & Wesson should have never got away from their 3rd Gen line of pistols. These represented the peak of their products.
They represented the time period they existed in. The world has moved beyond the steel frames and hammer fired actions.
Still love my 3913.
It would be interesting to see that pistol in 10mm!
I was super proud of myself with a 2.06 at the bill drill.sode match last year at CO nats. Mr. Jerry pops a 2.18 and says its a slow controlled 6 shots. Got to love this guy.

Your the best Jerry! GOAT
question, can you buy the mag pads for the new mags and put them on the old magazines? I have plenty M2.0 mags.
Already own the 2.0 Metal 4.25 inch. All I would need is for S&W to just sell the Competitor slide assembly and barrel.
Nice video, Jerry. Nice look pistol.. I wish Smith&Wesson will send you a CSX pistol
Do they make it in .45acp?

Now, how do we get a ported barrel for it? Smith and Wesson won’t sell one, I’ve already called them and asked.
Would have been perfect to copy the safety ..Would have made this gun perfect..I sill bought one tho
Thats still a great group for us mere mortals...
I'm just gonna have to go put in an order for one of these babies. I have a version one M&P that is 7 or 8 years old....don't remember. It has fired nothing but reloads from my bench and it has never let me down in the local pistol comps and 3-gun matches. Just a beast.

LoL. That's a long way of saying I want to go order a Metal 2.0.
I like the finish on that pistol.
That is a beautiful pistol! I want one.
A good horse is well saddled
It’s a great gun. I haven’t been able to find a proper holster for it though. Great shooting!
Have you found a good holster yet?
Hope u see this comment Jerry.
U have inspired me to train harder and so I am looking for a durable affordable platform.
Whould u still recommend this after shooting it for a year??
God bless.
gun technology advances. some remain happy "old school" the background musick in your videos limits my viewership.
I have been waiting for this video. Thanks Jerry
He just amazes me.
Thanks Jerry, but it would really help if you would test accuracy with both eyes closed. I think it would be closer to my ability.

I just bought the non-Competitor version and I wish I had spent the extra $100 for this version. 🙄
Hey Mr Miculek, is the competitor sear different than the 2.0? I am trying to compare between my PC editions
not a MP fan, but this is big improvement
Jerry isn’t going to keep this factory, the more he learns the more will be modified, I look forward to seeing what he does with it. I’m a CZ guy for competitive shooting but no denying Smith have done a great job.
Haven’t gotten to shoot the metal yet, but I did handle it at the store and the the trigger was like butter. Would love to try it at the range.
When are you reviewing the smith and wesson mp 5.7 x 28. Its a lot different than the other 57 gun models on the market..
What else is going to break next.on my m&p 2.0 metal.a person will be killed in a gun fight.whin the back strap breaks .the mag will not go in.
I enjoyed the details of how this MP is different than the polymer models that preceded it. I did not get those details from some of the other channels that released videos on day 1 of its release.
Purchased mine 11 days ago. I'm 450 rounds in and love this thing.
Just wish S&W had continued with the Beavertail from the older M&P Models.

Any striker fire should be fine to shoot empty. At most maybe some striker pins are a softer metal and my deform. I dont know of any with this issue.

wouldn't a steel frame be better suited for target/tournament?
I bet He has those boring lit up China cabinets in His house with knickknacks in them, the one with the glass doors that never open or shut correctly.
the speed of the previously recorded video before downloading it to youtube is 1.25 or a little less, but they fool us🙄

Less flex of the frame would be my guess = better accuracy.

I'm just guessing but possibly for weight. IDPA and USPSA have weight limits and being lighter allows it to fit into more classes.
