*10mm* Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0

[88E30M50]

I’ve been looking at that plate online and it does look pretty darn nice. Not only is it aluminum, but it looks like it fills the gaps at the front and back better

Yes, they do a good job of filling in the unsightly gaps around your optic.

Not at all. I’ll withhold judgment until more use.

Judgement has been made.

The factory plastic plate hits the trash can and a new plate is on order (thanks for quick link, Mr. 88).

The optic came loose in today's range session which gave me ALL kinds of fits along with wasted time until I figured it out. Tightened the screws WELL beyond suggested torque (yes, I have torque driver in my range bag) and after a handful of rounds, it came loose again and again....

Probably wasted more ammo than the new plate cost.

The C&H plate came in today and it really feels like a solid fit

 

[drillsgt]

Mine's the 9mm but I use CH plates on all my red dot guns, really happy with them. My new 2.0 did have some of that annoying grittiness in the trigger but tonight I finally installed the Apex plunger and spring and it's totally smooth now.

 

[88E30M50]

After shooting the 10mm using the plastic plate on Saturday, I found that the red dot no longer co-witnessed the irons. It was off by a large degree too. Once I installed the C&H plate, the co-witness is spot on again.

Why would S&W use such a poorly thought out plastic plate system that seems designed to frustrate shooters?

One word: Cheap

I would have just as soon they left the plates out and saved me the trouble of thinking they might work.

I can't believe we still haven't gotten a 10mm in locally yet. Where are they at? S&W only make a few thousand and go to something else?

I finally had to resort to buying my 4.6" one off a dealer in Illinois off of Gunbroker after making it a part time job looking for one locally for a few months and getting nowhere.

Now to find extra magazines for it.

I got mine at premier arms and I have seen them get at least a few more since and yes, magazines are elusive.

I tried Premier for awhile, but all I got was "we had one but sold it" a few times.
"Well could you order ME one in?".
"No".
So I realized they really didn't care to even lift a finger to help me find one.
So I moved on from them.

Well, one day last week I got home and had an email from Palmetto State Armory telling me CZ P-10 15 rd. mags were back in stock. Went to their site to order a couple; they were already out of stock again. lol Talked to someone there, he said they sell immediately when they come back in stock & you have to be lightning quick. Jeez.

Same deal with canik mags. Those email alerts are worthless. By the time you get it, they're gone.

Wholesalers are seeing more inventory but for high demand firearms, it is still a first come-first serve basis for the retailer. The makes it a challenge for a retail to "take an order" for a short supply item. They are chasing inventory just like we are.

It is getting better though and IMHO, inventory should continue to be more available in coming months as supply increases and demand wanes.

That's what I think as well. It's all good.

I don't plan to carry the M&P 10mm but I'd still like to pick up a couple of spare mags some day

There's no reason a retailer can't sell a firearm to the first person who inquired about ordering one when it does come in.
Which is a TRUER form of "first come first served", rather than luck of the draw of who walks in the store that day.

I'm loyal to businesses that are loyal to me as a customer and at least have the attitude they want my business.
A business that can't be bothered with ordering me in an M&P 10mm and acting like they aren't available isn't a place that wants my business.

Proof of this is when I was able to go on Gunbroker and in a few minutes find a dealer who was happy to sell me a new one at a fair price under suggested retail and it was in my hands delivered to a gunshop down the road in 2-3 days who was more than happy to do it for me.

The 4.6" M&P 10mm is a good pistol for the money and I'm happy I bought one, and sold my Glock 20.

I see your point exactly! That retailer could have been a bit more transparent and willing to write your name down on a list.

My LGS told me I would get the first one he had but it could be a day or a year. I stumbled into one at Sportsman's Warehouse and my LGS really didn't mind.

I remember when the P365 first came out. The place I bought from was selling at MSRP but you had to be on waiting list. The deal was when they got a shipment in, they called you and you could either take it or not. If you didn't return their call same business day - you were out. Seemed fair to me. I think I was #40 on the list....
