    M&P 2.0 Compact - practical accuracy upgrade

    This approach may be different from what I see on the internet. I always see the benched accuracy which is fine but it doesn't let me analyze what factor I play in marksmanship.

    Gun had about 1k through it and I used it in a Frank Proctor pistol class as well.

    Two strings of 5 rounds into a 6x6 head box at 28 yards standing freestyle. You can see the 2nd string is faster and more accurate. My focus is not on a perfect sight picture, but more of an acceptable one with excellent trigger control.

    M&P 2.0 Compact with Apex -

    Barrel - Flat trigger with sear - duty springs
    Trijicon HD XR sights
    Used 124gr 9x19 NATO

    Prior to switching the barrel I used the stock barrel and I was able to get 50% of the shots into the head box. Overall, I'm very pleased. **VIDEO LINK**

    Semi drop in, or gunsmith fit?

      Oops! Semi-fit. I used the Apex barrel fitting jig. Thanks for embedding the video too.

        How do you like the sights? Do they shoot POA? Looking to get the exact sights for my m2.0c

            Thanks, this was only to demonstrate the practical application at distance. The super test is a maximum of 15 yards. I was shooting this at almost double that distance to bring the technical marksmanship back to focus.

              They zero really well. They actually hit at the top of the front blade at 25 yards. Great sights and combine a lot of great aspects. I really like them.

                M&P 2.0 is Cally Legal? When did this happen?

                  Legal to own, just as any off-roster pistol; need to buy it as a LEO, move here with it, receive it as a family gift from out of state, or buy it ppt from one of the above.

                    nice, I really want a m&p 2.0c. I have a 5" 2.0 and the 2.0c would be the perfect addition to my collection. I need to do an apex barrel upgrade too.

                      I have the HD sights with orange front but this photo makes thr yellow really pop! Trying to figure out what to put on my new shield. Nice upgrades.

                            OP,

                            Did you fit the semi drop in barrel yourself or had a gun smith do it?

                            Had you done a similar practical accuracy test on a Glock 19?

                            Thank you
