Add A Millimeter! Smith & Wesson Introduces The 10mm M&P 2.0 – First Shots
Smith & Wesson continues its evolution of the M&P lineup with the addition of 10mm M&P 2.0 polymer carry pistols. Offered in 4.6-inch and 4-inch barrel lengths and available with or without manual safeties, these new hand cannons are well suited for backwoods defense or concealed carry situations. If you are familiar with the M&P 2.0 pistols, adding a millimeter won’t change a thing – except for your ammunition budget projections. As an added benefit, the 10mm M&P 2.0 pistols are optic-ready and include mounting options for all of the most popular micro red dot sights. Raised/suppressor height sights are standard as well.

Smith & Wesson® Launches New M&P®10mm M2.0™
Smith & Wesson Re-enters the World of Semi-auto 10mm Handguns
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., (November 16, 2021) – Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, today unveiled the latest expansion in its M&P M2.0 line of handguns.The new standard 10mm comes with enhanced features like an optics cut slide with the C.O.R.E.™ system thatenables users to mount a variety of popular optics. This handgun is designed to carry an impressive 15 + 1 capacity,ships with two magazines, and, reflecting the needs of the consumer, features Smith & Wesson’s brand new M2.0 flat face trigger design, which is designed to optimize trigger finger placement to allow for more consistent and accurate shooting.
John Myles, Smith & Wesson’s Senior New Product Manager, said, “Having not made a 10mm semi-automatic hand gun since the 1990’s, it’s a pleasure to re-enter that space with the M&P10mm M2.0 pistol. The 10mm caliber has its own following, and our customers have been asking us to bring one back. We are excited to launch this product using the M&P45 M2.0 as a building block to support existing aftermarket accessories that are readily available, as well as adding new enhanced features like the optics ready slide and the new M2.0 flat face trigger.”
These new handguns are purpose-built with the end consumer in mind. They include the M2.0 features and are available with or without an ambidextrous manual thumb safety. Smith & Wesson will offer a shorter 4” configurationof the handgun to allow for quicker clearance of a holster or a slightly longer 4.6” configuration to provide for a longer sight radius to optimize the accuracy of the barrel’s 1-in-10 twist rate. The M&P10mm M2.0 comes with the familiar 18-degree grip angle, four interchangeable palmswell grip inserts, and enhanced grip texture to help manage recoil.
The MSRP on the M&P10mm pistol is $654.00 to $665.00.

James looks like he is used to handling a 4 incher
Back when 357 Sig was the preferred duty round of some LE agencies, S&W ceased manufacturing the M&P in 357 Sig because of pistols breaking and excessive premature wear & tear issues. The North Carolina Highway Patrol bought 1600+ M&P pistols in 2009 and was forced to replace them after only 4 years because of parts breaking and excessive premature wear & tear. If S&W was incapable of designing and producing a M&P pistol that could handle the punishment of the 357 Sig round without breaking, how long before we know if this new 10mm pistol is going to hold up? Given S&W’s recent engineering & quality control issues with much of their product lines, no one will be surprised if there’s a M&P 10mm recall somewhere in the not too distant future. Probably wise to wait a year or two to see if S&W is now capable of producing a M&P in 10mm that will hold up and last like the proven Glock 20.
