I bought some Glocks over the years and though modestly priced, reliable, and utilitarian, I never took to them mostly because of ergonomics.-snip- Was there anything wrong with the original m&p pistols that needed corrected and thats why there is 2.0? -snip-
When I checked out S&W M&P pistols, I instantly liked them better because they fit my hand and had a better natural point of aim.
Over the years I've sold off most of my Glocks.
IN the early production M&P's if memory serves, there were reported issues with striker breakage and the the smaller sear spring (1/16"? later changed to 1/8"?).
Several years back I bought a couple of EARLY production M&P 40 full size police trade-ins for a cheap price.
They functioned fine and I personally had no trouble with them.
But when I read of the reported striker and sear spring issues, I replaced the Sear Housing Block in both of them with the larger 1/8" spring version, and replaced the Striker Assemblies.
BUT, when I replaced the .40SW barrels with OEM .357 Sig barrels, I suddenly had problems with the extractors on both of them.
They would often not grab the empty brass, and the pistol jammed.
I did some research and found that some police departments who had been issued the .357 Sig versions reported this same problem.
So I replaced the extractors in both pistols with Apex Tactical Failure Resistant Extractors.
I STILL ended up money ahead though because I got the pistols so cheap in the first place.
And I now have two reliable sweet shooting M&P .357 Sigs that I don't have a ton of money invested in.
