Just talked with Ivory Holsters on the M&P 2.0 10MM and he said he plans to put out a holster to fit this particular model and make it compatible with the RMR optic. So this is great news. Now i doubt my pre-order will ship anytime soon, so i think ill just sit and stew for a while. for my needs the M&P will suit my needs, however i will continue to be on the hunt for a Dan Wesson Specialist because.......ive always wanted one. I think i need to remove the kimber from my mind all together, just too much negative associated with it especially for the cost.

now......... what would yall have chosen in this platform the 4" or the 4.6"

i had pre-ordered the 4.6" for the reason of a little better sight radius, a little more weight which should lead to more control, and i have no intent of concealing it, and it more closely matched most guys pick of the glock 20 in barrel length.
Who has pre-order option?

I primarily shoot Glocks…but my 2 SW M&Ps have been 100% reliable. If you are a guy that likes to stay with one platform, I would not be afraid to buy the M&P in 10 mm.

My G20 is one of my favorite pistols…I really need to pick up a G21, many say those are the best model they make.

Lots of guys complain about the blockiness of Glocks, who cares about winning beauty pageants?

The triggers do take some getting used to…but once you can shoot a Glock well, you can shoot anything.

Yeah my big thing is keeping a familiar grip between platforms. That's why I typically cc a shield 40 in the summer and a commander length 1911 in the winter. It is very easy to transition back and forth with the same 18deg grip angle. The m&p is basically the same thing but a double stack

I've had probably a dozen M&Ps over the years, hands down my favorite semi-auto pistol platform. Never had one malfunction on me. I just bought a new 9mm full size with a RMR but really wish I had waited a few months... haha.

Id look at this in the 4.6". It would be a outside the belt carry gun for me in 99% of my applications so the extra slide/ barrel length would be worth the weight and size penalty to me.

That was my thought when I put it on pre-order. Glad to know I'm not alone. I'm also kind of a ballistics nut when it comes to my reloading I like to be able to get the most potential from the cartridge in the platform of choice.

Have you carried with those type of optics? Not in town, or out to dinner, but with a backpack and covering rough country?

Not really, just around town a bit. Not sure im ready to trust em or not... there is a steep learning curve in my opinion. Im still faster and more accurate with good iron sights. Im sure trigger time will help, but thats my initial impression.

I bought my g40 last year and wish these were out then. I always preferred the m&p grip. I don't have small hands at all but I just can't seem to be 100%comfortable with the g40 grip. If they offered the m&p with a little the same barrel length my g40 would already be for sale

Gotcha. At the USPSA matches they get a lot of use, I'm just not sure they can handle what we do while hunting.

I’d be interested in a M&P 10mm, but will wait a couple years to see how they work out. I too prefer how the M&P’s fit in my hand compared to a Glock.

I'm interested in the M&P 10mm. It uses the same size frame as the .45 so holsters for the .45 version should fit. I'm not a fan of glock. I can shoot them fine but I just can't bring myself to like them haha.

I got to put my hands on my M&P 10MM tonight for the first time! It feels so much better than my glock 40 in the hand. I can't wait to get some rounds through it. To bad Washington has mandatory wait times. Soon enough though.

Who had them in stock by chance. I keep waiting to hear when my pre-order will ship.

I did the pre-order as well and when I called my ffl to let him know I had something coming he said he would reach out to his distributors and see if he could find one. He had it by last Friday. There quite a few on gunbroker now to.
