The Design
The M&P (Military and Police) series from Smith & Wesson is centered on building reliable, modern, striker-fired, polymer-framed handguns that can withstand the hardships of duty service. This M&P45 M2.0 is a full-sized duty handgun with a standard 10-round magazine capacity.
The polymer frame of the handgun features the aggressive M2.0 grip texturing, which allows for a solid grip purchase regardless of weather conditions. These handguns have seen some grip wear, and in my opinion are worn to the perfect level, as I feel the M2.0 is a little too aggressive.
This model does not feature an external safety and relies on the M&P hinged trigger safety. The handgun also features a three-dot night sight set of irons, but the tritium is pretty much spent on most of the models. This set of handguns includes two 10-round magazines and a hard case.
A Good Value
Law enforcement trade-in firearms offer a solid and reliable option at a great price. Trade-ins normally have a good bit of life left in them, as most of the wear is cosmetic. Due to riding in a holster, running drills, and being exposed to the elements, there are wear and tear marks in the finish of the slide and worn spots on the polymer.
On the flip side, trade-in firearms are rarely shot excessively. Outside of annual qualification shoots and the occasional training session, the shooting components are usually not pushed very hard.
