The Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 Full Size in 45 ACP delivers enhanced stopping power in a platform engineered for professional and civilian shooters who demand reliability. This full-size pistol combines the proven M&P design with modern upgrades including a threaded barrel and optics-ready slide configuration.
What Makes This Different
The M2.0 generation introduces an improved trigger with a lighter pull and crisper reset compared to the original M&P series. The enhanced grip texture provides superior control without requiring aggressive stippling, while the low barrel bore axis reduces muzzle flip during rapid fire. Smith & Wesson's Armornite finish offers corrosion resistance that exceeds traditional Melonite treatments by 68% in salt spray testing.
