We came full circle: They made polymer-guns to make them cheaper, lighter etc, the polymer-gun evolved and now they make them in metal again - because cool. I really love the looks, S&W got a hit there IMO.
Always amazed at wall behind Jerry with all of the bullets and ammo boxes behind him from all the years of shooting. Would be cool to see a video of some of the more unique or rare items back there.
Sir! You shoot for them they should give you anything you ask for ! Besides that you are one of the greats in the firearms industry! Thank you for all you do to make the industry great. 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My son and I have the honored to meet Jerry two times in one year, he shook my hands both times, what a great role model. And were just hillbillies in Montana
It's funny that the reviewers that have been bad mouthing Smith and Wesson are not in the official reviewers loop. They are butt hurt as Smith didn't send them a gun to review. They typically praise guns made in Turkey because they are cheap. My Shield Plus and Equalizer are awesome American made guns that function flawlessly. I also applaud Smith and Wesson's CEO for standing up to the liberal gun banners in congress. I'll probably never purchase a race gun but enjoy Jerry and Smith and Wesson.
@@HammondArmory All I'm saying is that my Smith and Wesson products, as well as those of my friends, work great, look good, are reliable and American made which is a big deal to me. Whether shills or butt hurt wannabe schills, the proof is the performance and whether the buyer is satisfied. Of course my opinion and yours are just that, opinions.
@@chriscarnes87 like Jerry said, there's a lawyer behind every blade of grass. You know what you're doing but maybe Bubba and Cletus would put the parts in wrong and blow their pointy little heads off.
I was super proud of myself with a 2.06 at the bill drill.sode match last year at CO nats. Mr. Jerry pops a 2.18 and says its a slow controlled 6 shots. Got to love this guy. Also i just picked up my first S&W and it is the metal 4.25. This thing is awesome. Feels very close to a 1911, amd trigger is really good for a stryker fired gun.
I’m so glad to see your review. I just bought that same pistol last Saturday and I haven’t been able to fire it yet now I’m glad I did buy it. Thank you for your review.
Gorgeous pistol! I like that you can disassemble it without pulling the trigger. S&W semi-auto's have come a long way over the years. Now, if I could only afford one!
I have been saying the same thing about S&W empty chamber indicators for years!!! They cause debris to get on the window of your optic. Which is why I always tell people to get it milled so you can put that rear sight in front to solve that problem. Thanks you for being truthful about their products Jerry.
I REALLY love these two last new 2.0 metal pistols from Smith&Wesson. I know I'll be purchasing the 1st 2.0 metal next Saturday. Then the Competitor 2.0 metal in January. I've been doing the review on the 1st 2.0 metal for the last month. Leraning the whole breakdown of the pistol. I even ordered up a dry fire kit from G-site to practice with the pistol when I get it and to train my eyes to focus before I get the pistol I ordered up Chris sajnog shooters string. Love this product. Since I've had it a week now. My focus is GREATLY improved
I'm just gonna have to go put in an order for one of these babies. I have a version one M&P that is 7 or 8 years old....don't remember. It has fired nothing but reloads from my bench and it has never let me down in the local pistol comps and 3-gun matches. Just a beast. I think the M&P is behind my XDM 5.25 by 8,000 rounds because I bought the M&P a year after the XDM.
I enjoyed the details of how this MP is different than the polymer models that preceded it. I did not get those details from some of the other channels that released videos on day 1 of its release.
Beautiful review and some mighty fine shootio. I got mine home today. Anxious to get it to the range. The trigger is different than my Walther PDP. Dry fire the Walther feels better but you can't obviously go y that. It will be interesting to see the S&W vs the Canik Rival SFX S. Two all metal guns with exactly the same price. Keep them g#ns coming.
Smith & Wesson needs to make all of their 9mm pistols have large enough ejection ports so that you can interchange different caliber barrels and magazines. That's why I bought my original Smith & Wesson M&P in 40 S&W, so I could change out the barrel and use it as a 9mm or a 357 Sig. This modularity is very useful and helpful (at this point you might as well sell all M&P's with Optics ready cuts in the slides and threaded barrels on everything in addition to installing APEX triggers). Also I noticed the new fully metal Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 no longer has the detent in the way of the slide stop/release (is about time if you ask me, that slide stop detent was nothing but trouble). Also make the trigger guard larger so there's enough room to use a heavy glove for winter. I also like how Glocks triggers stay in the rear position when they are not cocked.
So can lefty’s use the right side “slide stop” as a slide release again? That’s the hugest letdown on the 2.0s. It’s a massive engineering cop out for a modern striker fired gun to not have a functioning slide release.
Hope u see this comment Jerry. U have inspired me to train harder and so I am looking for a durable affordable platform. Whould u still recommend this after shooting it for a year?? God bless.
I’m wondering why S&W decided to make the frame aluminum. As the metal gun weighs just about the same as the polymer 5 inch m&p. Competition wise, I would think people would prefer all steel for the additional weight. Just a thought, not completely disregarding the gun.
This is what I've been screaming from the rooftops since this released. How does a Turkish company like Canik realize this better than an American company with the release of their Rival Steel model?
Jerry isn’t going to keep this factory, the more he learns the more will be modified, I look forward to seeing what he does with it. I’m a CZ guy for competitive shooting but no denying Smith have done a great job.
Still shooting a polymer 5" M2.0 CORE. Shot the X5 Legion for a year, which I found easy compared to the M&P, but I prefer the smith ergos. Any justification for owning a Competitor instead of a polymer CORE if I don't need a magwell of extended mag release?
Hey jerry love your stuff keep it up! I just got my competitor last month got a few thousand rounds through it. Awesome gun have any recommendation for a new trigger that has no safety and less slack, and any recommendations on a ported barrel?
My m&p metal.i bumped the plastic back strap it broke off it will kill you the mag will not go in with out the back strap. Let people no.just need to duck tape it now its better than new
The video I've been waiting for since I saw this pistol released. My question is how are you liking that trigger. I tried and M&P 2.0 polymer and didn't like that hinged trigger. The new trigger looks similar to an Apex. So if this is going to be your 3 gun pistol, would be cool to see a video on what mods you plan to make to it for you for competition
That's the same factory trigger in the Shield Plus and I love it. My other 3 M&Ps had the hinged triggers. I do well with all but I love the flat trigger the best.
So which American manufacturer is going to make an all metal double stack 10mm we’ve all been waiting for? Sig Sauer and Smith have the mags. Who’s gonna be first? Springfield? Wilson Combat? Someone step up to the plate please.
Hi Jerry I have been a fan of you for a long time sir you are the best!... I have a question for you I watched your video on the smith metal 2.0 I enjoyed it so much I went out grabbed one. My question is what is the best optic for this pistol? Any input would be appreciated...thanks in advance Jerry
I always appreciate your knowledge and skill. I wish smith and wesson would go back to making good looking business like guns. So many, this one included, look like toys. cuts here and there. they don't have any grace.
The Man , The Myth , The Legend !!
I really love that Jerry works on his own guns
We came full circle: They made polymer-guns to make them cheaper, lighter etc, the polymer-gun evolved and now they make them in metal again - because cool. I really love the looks, S&W got a hit there IMO.
Aluminum is just hard plastic. Jk. I hope it’s at least 6065 anodized.
yeah looks nice and metal is better for reliability and could possible help with recoil
This scenery is wonderful! A legend of simplicity!
Congrats from Brazil! 👍🎯
Never gets old, I’ve read his shooting style since the 90s and now early late 2000 thru TH-cam
Always amazed at wall behind Jerry with all of the bullets and ammo boxes behind him from all the years of shooting. Would be cool to see a video of some of the more unique or rare items back there.
I love Jerry, watching his videos feels like hanging out with a cool grandpa who also happens to be a world class shooter.
Sir! You shoot for them they should give you anything you ask for ! Besides that you are one of the greats in the firearms industry! Thank you for all you do to make the industry great. 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Jerry is one of a few that I enjoy watching. Very honest with his assessment of firearms.
It’s hard to watch JM shoot slow.
Looks like a really nice firearm.
So true! So use to him saying" this will only take a second "

Or maybe the ones in "the official loop" are there because they are shills?? It's hard to believe most of the reviews because of bias either way...
The only problem with S&W is they won’t sell you parts directly, you have to send their guns in.

Because SW sponsored shooters reviewing SW are gonna be 100% objective about the company product that pays them for a living.

Looks like a winner. Thanks Jerry. Have a great day! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I’m so glad to see your review. I just bought that same pistol last Saturday and I haven’t been able to fire it yet now I’m glad I did buy it. Thank you for your review.
Purchased it today just need wait a week for background here in jersey 😅 . Have you gotten around to shooting yours yet?
When Jerry says let’s do fast shooting… prepare for GOAT
Gorgeous pistol! I like that you can disassemble it without pulling the trigger. S&W semi-auto's have come a long way over the years. Now, if I could only afford one!
I have been saying the same thing about S&W empty chamber indicators for years!!! They cause debris to get on the window of your optic. Which is why I always tell people to get it milled so you can put that rear sight in front to solve that problem. Thanks you for being truthful about their products Jerry.
Your are still a legend.
Greetings from South Africa
I have been waiting for this video. Thanks Jerry
I love my metal 2.0. Great shoot, so accurate & fun.
Wish I knew about the competitor before though. Love long guns.
just bought that same gun , love it , having trouble with that red dot still may just open sight that gun , but glad to see you like it , thanks again
I have one chambered in .40 S&W and I LOVE it. I added Odin Works mag extensions so I can do 17 rds. It's a beautiful thing

LoL. That's a long way of saying I want to go order a Metal 2.0.
Jerry could make any gun appear amazing.
I enjoyed the details of how this MP is different than the polymer models that preceded it. I did not get those details from some of the other channels that released videos on day 1 of its release.
He just amazes me.
Such a great shooter. And gotta be the best pistol review I've ever viewed. Thank you Jerry.
Purchased mine 11 days ago. I'm 450 rounds in and love this thing.
Your the best Jerry! GOAT
Haven’t gotten to shoot the metal yet, but I did handle it at the store and the the trigger was like butter. Would love to try it at the range.
Smith & Wesson should have never got away from their 3rd Gen line of pistols. These represented the peak of their products.
They represented the time period they existed in. The world has moved beyond the steel frames and hammer fired actions.
Still love my 3913.
The only competitive shooter that can say what he Doesn't like about the gun... And Still NOT lose His sponsorship... Don't Overthink It...
Thats still a great group for us mere mortals...
Beautiful review and some mighty fine shootio. I got mine home today. Anxious to get it to the range. The trigger is different than my Walther PDP.

Its good to hear from you Jerry.
I wholeheartedly approve of more firearms being made from metal! I am way beyond bored with plastic guns. 🔫

Love that gun!!
Would love a tour of Jerry’s gun room
Yesss!! Would need to be a mini series lol
Love to see a comparison between this and a Canik SFT or SFX.
Thanks Jerry, beautiful gun.
Just wish S&W had continued with the Beavertail from the older M&P Models.
I have an M&P and will check this gun out thanks Jerry.
you helped me to make my final decision. Goin get it!
You can use the old polymer magazines you just have to slide the plastic part off for the mag wheel
Not plastic, titanium
That's a darn fine looking gun
Jerry for president!
Young man just wanted to say hey from Alaska 🇺🇸
Thanks Jerry. I'm looking forward to checking one out at SHOT show next month.
Thanks Jerry!
Plates didn't stand a chance. Mr. Miculek has still got it.
I am happy for the resurgence of metal guns! 😁😁
Who doesn’t love Jerry? Get some!
I am going to put one of those rubber hand grips to cover the duck tape
not a MP fan, but this is big improvement
Thanks much. Get some!
I think S&W is finding a nice niche in the all metal guns 😎🇺🇸
This will be my Bday gift
Nice video, Jerry. Nice look pistol.. I wish Smith&Wesson will send you a CSX pistol
Hope u see this comment Jerry.
U have inspired me to train harder and so I am looking for a durable affordable platform.
Whould u still recommend this after shooting it for a year??
God bless.
He’s a national treasure. And he raised a bad a$$ daughter to boot.
I’m wondering why S&W decided to make the frame aluminum. As the metal gun weighs just about the same as the polymer 5 inch m&p.
Competition wise, I would think people would prefer all steel for the additional weight.
Just a thought, not completely disregarding the gun.
Agreed!
Cost
Less flex of the frame would be my guess = better accuracy.
This is what I've been screaming from the rooftops since this released. How does a Turkish company like Canik realize this better than an American company with the release of their Rival Steel model?
Thanks Jerry, but it would really help if you would test accuracy with both eyes closed. I think it would be closer to my ability.
Just found out about this gun . I like it .
Man I’d give anything to be a fraction as good as that man
Great Job Jerry!! Where's Lena, oh it's not a sig....Wish you and your family Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's !!!
It’s a great gun. I haven’t been able to find a proper holster for it though. Great shooting!
Have you found a good holster yet?
A beautiful pistol in my eyes.
Your Awesome Man God Bless you 🙏🏻. I just ordered one for my G19 Gen 5 looking to see how one fits on a Shield Plus 9mm.
After watching this, I'm gonna get one!
i want it!!!!
Jerry isn’t going to keep this factory, the more he learns the more will be modified, I look forward to seeing what he does with it. I’m a CZ guy for competitive shooting but no denying Smith have done a great job.
Nice gun...i love it...!!!
Still shooting a polymer 5" M2.0 CORE. Shot the X5 Legion for a year, which I found easy compared to the M&P, but I prefer the smith ergos. Any justification for owning a Competitor instead of a polymer CORE if I don't need a magwell of extended mag release?
wouldn't a steel frame be better suited for target/tournament?
Wow what a beauty.
When are you reviewing the smith and wesson mp 5.7 x 28. Its a lot different than the other 57 gun models on the market..
Hey jerry love your stuff keep it up! I just got my competitor last month got a few thousand rounds through it. Awesome gun have any recommendation for a new trigger that has no safety and less slack, and any recommendations on a ported barrel?
My m&p metal.i bumped the plastic back strap it broke off it will kill you the mag will not go in with out the back strap. Let people no.just need to duck tape it now its better than new
Just think folks this is only goes on in America.....Thanks Jerry.......
Shoe🇺🇸
Gotta love it!!!
Hello Jerry !
question, can you buy the mag pads for the new mags and put them on the old magazines? I have plenty M2.0 mags.
Don't need a automatic just need a finger like Jerry
The video I've been waiting for since I saw this pistol released. My question is how are you liking that trigger. I tried and M&P 2.0 polymer and didn't like that hinged trigger. The new trigger looks similar to an Apex. So if this is going to be your 3 gun pistol, would be cool to see a video on what mods you plan to make to it for you for competition
That's the same factory trigger in the Shield Plus and I love it. My other 3 M&Ps had the hinged triggers. I do well with all but I love the flat trigger the best.
Your still the man!
Hey Mr Miculek, is the competitor sear different than the 2.0? I am trying to compare between my PC editions
7:20 I know that gun was thinking there's no way this is Jerry Miculek. He cant shoot this slow.
So which American manufacturer is going to make an all metal double stack 10mm we’ve all been waiting for? Sig Sauer and Smith have the mags. Who’s gonna be first? Springfield? Wilson Combat? Someone step up to the plate please.
Lawyers....oh boy. Hey I know some who are good folk.
Where do you get that 23 rounder from s&w? All i see is the one with the grip sleeve
Would have been perfect to copy the safety ..Would have made this gun perfect..I sill bought one tho
Now, how do we get a ported barrel for it? Smith and Wesson won’t sell one, I’ve already called them and asked.
Do they make it in .45acp?
Great 🇺🇸 👍 stuff
Hi Jerry I have been a fan of you for a long time sir you are the best!... I have a question for you I watched your video on the smith metal 2.0 I enjoyed it so much I went out grabbed one.
