I like the looks of it, but I don't know if I want a 5" barrel. I carry the M&P 9 full size with just the 4.25" barrel and I love it. There is a lot to like about the new version, especially the upgraded trigger.

bblhd672, did you get the thumb safety version? Mine has no external safety and I don't know if I would want one on a DAO striker fired pistol, but that's just my opinion. Let us know how it works for you, I may change my mind.

I wouldn't want a 5" either at the moment, I have been really torn between getting the M&P full, compact, or shield lately. I really like the shield, I may end up getting that for CC purposes. I carry a full size FNS-9 now

Apparently the FDE model has 5" barrel and thumb safety. I had planned to buy the M1.0 and was just waiting on the one I wanted (9mm, black, 4.25" barrel, thumb safety) to get back in stock at Grab A Gun. Got email from them this afternoon that this one was on sale for only $30 more than the M1.0 I was looking at so I "pulled the trigger" on the purchase. I read a bunch of reviews on the M2.0 this morning and really impressed with the improvements, feel like this will meet my desired purchase of a full size 9mm pistol.
Plus, now not all my firearms are scary black ones!

I would request, once you shoot this new M2.0, please write a review (on a new thread) comparing what you feel versus the M&P (standard version... not sure to call it 1.0 or what)

I have never shot a M&P M1.0 so I won't be able to compare it. There are numerous reviews already by people who have shot both versions extensively. However, I will be happy to do a range report as soon as I can get to the range with it.

I didn't like the way the trigger worked on the normal MP9mm that I had. The hinge on a hinge design was no good for me. I kept grabbing it too far up, and not being able to fire. So I don't see me giving this new one a try with the same style trigger in it. Other than that I enjoyed it.

Quick question, what are the square cut outs in the polymer frame just above the light rail?
I can't tell from the picture are they true cut outs or do they serve as a mounting platform for something?

Just curious.

My BIL is lusting after this one, but apparently they are not yet readily available on market in US:
