Hello everyone! I am looking to replace the stock spring on the Response. I tried replacing it with an Armaspec SRS recoil spring for 9mm but it did not work out the way I thought it would. There was a gap between the buffer spring and retainer (minimal). and the bolt would not go back. So it was deemed useless and returned. The issue I am having is a loud spring BOINGGG! and if I have the magazine in and set the rifle in the safe it chambers the round by itself due to the spring springing...lol. Any suggestions on a new tighter spring would be appreciated.

Hi all been looking for a magwell for my EDC which is a M&P 2.0 FS 9mm and I’ve heard amazing things about the SLR Magazine Well plus it can use stock baseplates but my question is will my baseplate fit? Please advise before purchase! (It’s on sale rn) - Baseplate pictured!

Hi guys, i was just wondering if anyone has heard if s&w was going to release a competitor to the ruger lc charger in 5.7 that takes the s&w 5.7 mags? If they do id be very quick to pick one up.

New S&W pistol grip on a new build I'm doing.

This is the Presidential Edition M&P Competitor. The frame is polished and the slide is coated in 24k gold thanks to Ronin Armory in Texas.

I am roughly 2,500 rounds into the gun post coating. Holding up decent but some patina is starting to show.

Has anybody actually gotten 12 rounds into a Bodyguard 2.0 12 round magazine? Even with a good loader, I have only been able to load eleven rounds into a Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 twelve,round magazine. The closest I have gotten, I dented the case of the eleventh round trying to load round number twelve. I still did not get it in there.

I put about 100 rounds through it today to get a feel for it and try to break it in some. I ran some cheap Monarch ball, Blazer ball, and Hornady critical defense JHP that will be what I carry. It all ran perfect.

Out of the box, the slide spring was super stiff, and the mechanisms looked a bit dry too so I gave it a little Clenzoil treatment before hitting the range. The slide loosened up a little after some use. The slide lock and safety also loosened up slightly but are still pretty sticky and need more work.

Shooting impressions: I've shot the EZ 380, which is super smooth, and an LCP which was so snappy that it was unpleasant, but the BG2 was somewhere in between. It snaps but not uncomfortably so, similar to my P365 9mm. Given how small and light it is, I was surprised at how easy it is to shoot.

Groupings were not tight. The range I was on had an 8 yard minimum distance, and slow deliberate shots were around 8 to 10 inches apart. The biggest problem I had was all shots pulled to the left. Maybe that was me but given how consistent it was, I think the sights need adjusting (or probably it was just me).

The grip texture is pretty aggressive. This short session started wearing some raw spots into my palm. I would say it's not an all day range toy, but if you need to use it in a situation, that aggressive texture should do you well.

I hate the safety, it's so small and hard to actuate. Maybe the stiffness will ease up with use but I expect I'll have to carry it holstered with the safety off of I'm going to ensure that I can get the shot off when I need to.

Overall I'm happy with it. It should be a great pocket pistol for those times when I can't carry something larger.

I have a regular optic ready shield plus w/ thumb safety and I was thinking of “upgrading” to a shield plus carry comp.

I really like having a manual safety but I know the carry comp isn’t available with one.

-Is it possible to transfer the slide from the carry comp shield plus to the frame of the regular shield plus so I can use the manual safety?

-Can the enhanced trigger from the carry comp version also be transferred over to the regular shield plus frame?

-Does the shield plus carry comp fit into a tenicor certum holster? I know the holster can accommodate a 4 inch barrel, but I wasn’t specifically sure about the shield plus comp carry.

My first time rattle canning a gun.

As the title states. I've joined this family. Bought it today at a gun show. Seller was also telling me that the 17 round mag will work with this. If so, where would I find the mags? Couldn't find it on S&W website. So just curious.

None of these are anything special but the Model 10 at the bottom right was owned by Denny Crum. I bought it off his daughter earlier this year. The 686 and 586 are both no dash. Thanks for looking!

Has anyone come across a leather OWB for the BG 2.0? I'd consider kydex too but I prefer leather for owb. I've been looking everywhere.

Mint condition, $320 out the door. How did I do?

I wanted the standard polymer OR full size but my LGS only had this carry comp and there was a decent black friday deal, and I really want to shoot it this weekend so I broke down. The only downside to me right now is it comes with low iron sights so I'm looking into tall sights to cowitness with a dot (not sure which dot yet). And these OEM carry comp sights have a set screw which the normal OR full size don't, so can someone clarify are they interchangeable?

Looking at C.O.R.E. sights from Trijicon, Dawson, XS Sights (R3D), and Night Fision. So far only Trijicon and XS make it explicit that their sights fit the M2.0 Metal Series.

I would just get an SCS dot and keep the low OEM sights but they only come in green and green dots don't seem to work with my eyes. Based on a green EPS I bought in the past.

Hello,

I have an M&P15 sport 2 and have a chambering Issue. The gun will fire off a few rounds just fine then randomly not chamber a round from the magazine (bang, bang, click). It will also fail to discharge a spent cartridge and ill have to manually pull the charge handle to get the brass out.

I've put a little over 1,000 rounds through the gun with absolutely zero issues. Now this Issue is suddenly popping up. I thoroughly cleaned the gun and lubricated it and that did not solve the issue. I also used different ammo with a different magazine and that didn't solve the issue either.

I have no clue whats wrong. Is this a gas issue or an issue with the buffer spring? The only other thing I could think of thats possibly causing the issue is the weather. I'm shooting outside and it's in the teens.

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a holster? I placed an order with Mckinatec but someone recently said they didn't her back after several weeks/months and had to charge back.

TLDR: What are all the M&P full size lineups and which do you guys recommend for duty/HD

Smith has so many pistols and I'm a bit confused. Went to my ffl today but the ones he put on the counter, I'm sure were compacts. Only full size I saw was the comp one. We both seemed confused.

I've shot the older 2.0 full size 4.25 with the hinged trigger and it shot flat and accurate for me but I chose the CZ p10f over it because the CZ was just as flat just as accurate but way better trigger.

It was a fun battle between those two plus the walther pdp and Springfield echelon. Echelon and pdp had the best ergos. Just felt great in the hand but I didn't think they shot as smooth as the other two. Echelon also has the best serrations. Seriously a great feeling gun.

However the smith and CZ were very smooth. In the end the CZs trigger was the difference maker. It felt like I was shooting a race gun like my shadow 2 or Dan Wesson DWX. That p10f was deadly accurate.

I still want the smith cuz it to was a very nice shooter. You guys say the new flat faced trigger is better but what the heck is the full size version of the 2.0? All the full size I see seem to be tricked out. Regular duty looking ones are compacts. The grips are small. From what I understand it's full size 4.25 or 5" barrel. Then you have full size comped. Is this correct?

The total count is up to 20 now but I basically just buy 2-3 new guns every USPSA season and go from there. 5 years on the M&P9 platform with 300,000+ rounds. I like em.

I bought the BG 2.0 back in August. First time I took it to the range, it jammed so badly that neither I nor the range master could fix it. I had to take it to a local gunsmith with a live round jammed in it and pay to fix it. I sent it right back to S&W. Six weeks later I got it back, took it to the range and it shot to the left. Took it another time and it shot to the left again, so I asked the range master to shoot it and it did the same for him and then it jammed again on me, but this time he was able to clear it. I now know it's the spring that wasn't machined correctly. It has to be inserted just so in order to reassemble the gun and the end of the spring catches when you shoot it. Also the 12 rd mag has the follower problem.

So back it goes again to S&W. I got it back Monday and they sent me the same mag and spring back, but they did fix the rear sight. So I called and the CS person said they would send a new mag and spring right out and not to bother sending the old ones back. I get the package today and the new mag is fine. I can see where they have changed that little bit of the follower from catching in the opening, but they didn't send the spring! Now I have to wait till Monday to call.

I have had this gun for over 3 months, and S&W have had it longer than me. I don't appreciate them beta testing a gun on their customers. I can't trust my life with this gun if I can't even shoot it. I just wanted something light to put in a purse, but I guess I'm going to have to use my P365 or buy a Ruger LCP.

Thank you for letting me vent!
