Smith & Wesson CA M&P... In metal

The weight is incorrect on their site.

.46x16 =7.36oz vs .61x16=9.76oz so ~2.4 oz. I may have looked at the one with the safety which is probably an oz more. I think it just comes down to personal preference vs performance. I haven't tried it, how do you like the metal frame?
 
Was the metal version ever added to the roster? I don't remember seeing it.
 
Yea was hoping for the longer barrel. And I'm curious about the LCI too. M&P normally has that obnoxiously long one on roster models that aren't OR.
 
Oops I guess I double posted about this subject.

Hoping they changed to extractor LCI since the optic plate doesn’t leave a whole lot of space, at least on their free state models.
 
It weird because I swear a bunch of guns got rejected from the roster review because their LCI wasn't on the top and then the staccato comes out with it on the extractor....

The VP9s are like that too
 
Well none of those have actually made it to stores haha. There were a few vp9s but they disappeared quick
 
I’m thinking they are putting more into getting the CA VP9a1s to us.
for sure, I just never got to see one up close they were gone before I had a chance

Prefer the metal, have 2 metals and 2 polymer each with 5” slides. I think the whole “flex of polymer makes it have less recoil” is just not felt at all when shooting. The grip shape isn’t exactly the same and the front panel of the metal has more of a curve than the polymer which has more of a flat spot at the front and it just feels better in my hand. Also now they have the grip weight inserts now and brass magwell so you can get it to a pretty solid weight.

I advise anyone who hasn’t shot a vp9 and are looking to to shot one first. I like them but I never get kickback, even on the new versions hoping they fixed it and nope. That huge slide lock is just always held down with my grip.

Did you have any trouble fitting this magwell? Just checked it out on Floyd's site and it said wouldn't fit the metal frame. Thanks!

I have a VP9 Match but I’m planning on picking up a S&W M&P 2.0 Metal just to see how it would perform in Carry Optics. Still searching for a Competitor

Hopefully the new M&P Metal doesn’t have an fugly LCI
