Smith & Wesson

I ordered it 7/12/19. It was shipped 7/18/19 and my FFL received it on 7/22/19. The finish is amazing, the coating on the barrel is extremely durable! I’ve put 1,000 rounds through mine and it doesn’t show any wear. It shoots super flat and if anything it makes my groupings tighter! This gun is super accurate!

 I love the way she handles and the grip is super intense but I don’t notice it while shooting. It’s an amazing fun! What else is there to say about it?! My only gripe would be it should be sold with 3 mags instead of 2 but for the price I paid for it I could use the money I saved to buy another mag. I give it 10 freedom stars!

Don't miss understand I love compacts, for a long time I have been after a Glock 19. Fired this at a range and fell in love. It's everything I was looking for in a compact, light, fantastic trigger, super fun to shoot. The grip is insanely aggressive, which I like, but it may not be the idea for all.

 Great as an EDC, but the aggressive texture can be nasty on the skin. Either suck it up like I have or find away around it, wear a tuck in shirt, OWB holster or something. In my personal opinion, the only compact I prefer to this in 9mm is the SIG P930 XCARRY. BUY BOTH!!!

I ordered this M&P2.0 from SOSS and got it from my FFL on 7/13. On Saturday 7/15 it was headed back to S&W. Why? Because I always tear down my new guns before shooting and clean and oil them. In your S&W owners manual under cleaning there is one sentence: Ammoniated solvents or other strong alkaline solvents, should not be used on any Smith & Wesson firearm. For 40 years I have been using Hoppes on every firearm I own, including quite a few S&Ws including 5 other M&Ps. I have never had an issue until I wiped down the slide on this weapon and the black literally wiped off exposing the gold/brass Armornite.

 I called S&W on 7/15, explained what happened and sent it back for warranty work. DO NOT use Hoppes on the M&P 2.0s. They replaced the slide and last Friday I got it back, almost a month turn around but S&W does do a 2 week shutdown every year the last week of July and the first week of August. I promptly ran 800 rounds through it, it is a accurate shooter out of the box but the trigger is really not that much different then the original M&P. Its got a crunchy trigger but every M&P 1.0 has a different trigger. Some are great, some are bad. After 800 rounds this one is still crunchy. There is an aftermarket fix for that but now onto problem TWO.

 The M&P 2.0 9 & 40's have a striker assembly that is different from the 1.0. There should be a stamping that says °01. Mine does not, to make this short it is the 1.0 version, there are gunsmiths who say this may cause unexpected rapid fire multi taps or FTFs and others who say there is no real difference between strikers. Basically a call to S&W was made. The correct striker 3006501 is on its way BUT S&W just got back from their annual close down so it could be on back order or they might be able to get one from manufacturing. In the mean time, I have a handgun that may or not be safe. I won't be firing it again until I install the proper striker.

 If you try and order anything from S&W you are going to find that they are in the middle of a move so any parts can take 8 weeks to get. This means that the gun I bought sits until that striker comes, I'll be hitting the range with one of my 1.0s or Berettas. Right now S&W has all sorts of issues, their QC has been meh for a while and even if you order and pay for parts they are on back order. Did you know that the 2.0 palm swells fit on the 1.0's? It is model specific compact to compact - full size to full size and you have to get the 2.0 frame tool BUT even though they say they are in stock they are really on back order. I basically bought a gun in early July that had a bad finish, the slide was replaced but has the wrong striker in it and I can't shoot it for fear of it going full auto on the range. I think I got a lemon, so while most of the reviews are glowing, mine is not.

 This does not reflect badly on Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore but S&W. I am pretty happy with every S&W I own, a couple have gone back for service throughout the years without any problem. 

Great gun for a first time gun owner. Feels very comfortable in my hand and the grip is rough enough to get good control without feeling like it's scrapping my hand. Zero issues with it so far, great quality and amazing price!

First of all, I got great service from SOSS as I ordered this on a weekend and picked it up at my FFL on Thursday. It couldn't have been better and these folks really mean it when they say they have it in stock and ready to ship.

 The 380 EZ feels and shoots like a real gun and I shot 175+ rounds and it was very accurate with little recoil and very shootable, unlike your average mouse gun where you probably would never attempt shooting this much at a time. It was a pleasure to shoot and I had no problem with the grip safety as anyone reporting they do probably aren't holding it tight enough to safely fire any gun, as it didn't take a death grip to keep it depressed while firing.

 I wanted to see if it was fussy about ammo so I shot Federal, Sig, Fiocchi, Aguila, Perfecta, LAX, and some 25 year old Winchester soft point and there were 2 stovepipes within the first 4 clips, and then there weren't any after that. Unlike some 380s this M&P 380 EZ isn't fussy about what you feed it as these rounds varied from FMJ round nose to FMJ blunt nose, Fiocchi HP, and the old Winchesters were soft point lead. It was a lot of fun at the range and much like shooting your average 9 mm but with less felt recoil, something you could shoot all day without tiring.

 The only downside is that 380 ammo is more expensive than 9 mm, but after a few high volume trips to the range I will settle down to firing it enough to stay sharp, but relegate my higher volume shooting to more affordable 9 mm and 22s. I had debated buying something less expensive, but I am glad I didn't as this is my third S&W and they are all smooth shooters, reliable, and are well built for the long term. Rent one at your local range to make sure you like it, and there is a good chance you will want one after that.

This was a steal for the price. I also bought a .357 sig barrel, so 2 calibers in one gun. Perfect after thousands of rounds. Comfortable grip and balance, and very accurate. Trijicon night sights added, now it's a perfect gun to join my EDC rotation. Fabulous handgun!

I have owned dozens and dozens of handguns over the years, but this .357 S&W 27 takes the cake! Once I wiped off the powder and grime from test firing, she cleaned up beautifully. Action crisp and smooth. Balance is perfect with a 4" barrel on an N frame, at least for me. I have owned various 28s in the past, but this 27 is the true Flagship of the S&W lineup... always has been.
 I hate the lock, but it isn't that noticeable anyhow. Once I got the sights adjusted, she shoots straight, loves 158 grain Magnum loads. I was easily nailing softball sized targets offhand at 25 yards, and I'm not that good! .38s recoil about like a .22 out of this fistful of steel. Yup, I carry her concealed in an AZULA OWB leather holster... with a sturdy belt and an over-sized shirt, actually pretty easy to hide.
 This model 27, a direct descendant of the original Registered Magnum beats the Colt Python and Mark 3 Trooper I use to own, hands down. Stronger action, better sights, better trigger. Hey, if the S&W 27 was the gun of choice for General Patton, Col Askins and FBI Agent Walsh, who am I to argue?! While this gun may not appease the plastic / Tacticool crowd, for lovers of vintage blue steel revolvers with walnut grips, THIS is the cream of the crop.

Ordered my firearm at a great price and received it within a 5 to 6 day period. Item was received as described. I am pleasantly pleased with my firearm and with the great price at Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore.

Bought this in 2016. Have only shot 500 rounds, but there have been no FTF or FTE. I have only shot cheap Federal and Winchester 308/7.62x51 149/150 grain brass ammo. I haven't shot for accuracy on paper, but I hit my 3 inch steel target every time I shoot at it. The only 2 issues I've had are that the ambi bolt release on the right side broke when I pressed it today. I'd call that a MIM problem, but most guns have MIM parts these days. The other issue, which I probably caused, is that the dust cover pin walks forward which allowed the short end of the spring to spin so that I lost my spring action. When I put the pin back and close the cover, it opens like its supposed to.
 I think the problem is from me changing to a Midwest industries handguard. It works great, but I'm guessing that it doesn't have something that the delta ring had to hold the pin in place. I think a longer pin will solve it. In addition to the handguard, I've added a Magpul ACS stock, BCM grip, Superlative Arms adjustable gas block and Radian Raptor SD charging handle for suppressors. Everything fit perfectly without any issues. I haven't adjusted the gas block. So far, its been wide open. My son has a Helix suppressor that we tried. The gun shot perfectly and had zero blast in my face. I love this gun and so far am 100% happy that I bought it.
