Smith & Wesson released the M&P M2.0 5" in FDE w/the manual safety and a loaded chamber indicator that they do not include with the 4.25" version. No idea why that is, but I've shot the 5" 9mm version quite a bit and I like it!
Here is my review and some range and competition videos:

The trigger isn't as nice as the APEX Trigger, but it is (to me) a major improvement. I was able to remove the manual safety and plug the frame w/frame plugs provided by Smith & Wesson, and I've put well over 1,000 rounds through mine and it runs great. There were some strange extraction issues when I first shot it, but I cleaned it pretty good and ran a few hundred through it and all is well.
I just ordered a DCAEK & polymer trigger for my FS to stop myself from ordering a 2.0. Hopefully S&W got the trigger right on this one.
Is the purpose of the window on the frame to collect dirt?
Handled one today at Damage Factory (FDE 9, 5"). The texture treatment on the grip is very nice, on that feature alone I'd consider getting one IF I didn't already have my older one. The trigger is an improvement over the original but still doesn't come close to the Apex duty/carry kit (with aluminum trigger) I have in mine, nor did I expect it too.
If I was in the market for a new pistol I'd get one though in black, 4.25". I do like the M&P pistols and feel S&W did a nice job on this gun.
How is the reset on the trigger? I have an APEX trigger in my M&P and the reset is nearly unnoticeable.
