Good post by the OP.
Re the new M&P 2.0s, I have a 5" barreled M&P9 2.0 that is all of 2 days old. Love the feel in the hand, very happy with the trigger, FDE color is a nice change from black or black & stainless. Was very eager to go to the range tomorrow but this morning is 30 with 25mph wind, and tomorrow may be worse. Not much of a day to enjoy a new gun.
On a more positive note, my local gunsmith sold my "one day on the range and cleaning joke" aka a Remington R51 for me. Lost about $50 but could care less. 10X harder to disassemble and reassemble than any handgun I've ever used. You need very strong hands and fingers that are work hardened and caloused to deal with that b***h. HAPPY it is GONE, particularlly since Remington seems headed to bankruptcy. Don
