S&W M&P 2.0 5" Performance Center Ported First Shots: Do It All 9mm For $700?

[Applause] foreign [Applause] what's up guys this is Chris here and today we're going to be doing another first shots lately on the channel we've been having a lot of race guns and I thought it would be kind of nice to have a race gun that maybe everybody could afford so I thought long and hard on what race gun I would want to get for let's say home defense or maybe competition that might be light enough to concealed carry might give you kind of a base model that you could upgrade a little bit might have a track record of durability and reliability they come with a lot of features out of the box that are kind of hard to get on a lot of other guns that is quite a math problem to solve and a lot of people would immediately go to Glock but Glock generally doesn't have all the race features that you want out of the box so I went with the next best thing m p I was actually at my local gun shop there Mr guns and I saw this and I was like man I gotta have one of these I've had a five inch M P before but I've never had the performance center and recently I had extremely good luck with the performance center uh Shield plus which I'm now carrying because I love it so much and I thought man it'd be nice to have a really big brother of that for my home defense gun so performance center m p 2.0 5 inch now what this gun offers you is it offers you a polymer frame striker-fired gun with a full five inch barrel but it also is ported right out of the factory it also has slide Cuts right out of the factory the light and slide a little bit to increase the velocity of the slide which I like a lot comes with an Optics Mount and the plates right out of the box that's very cool we have this awesome steel barrel it has a light rail to put my Surefire X300 which is an absolute must for me for home defense and for a competition now they allow weapon lights so why not have it on there a little added weight there below one of the things that I don't like about it is that for some reason all of a sudden it just got windy has been windy out all day and then it's like [ __ ] you one of the things I don't love about it is it doesn't have the new m p 2.0 trigger uh the brand new one that's coming in the the newer guys the one that doesn't have the hinge anymore it has the trigger safety like a Glock but you can obviously get those now the m p 2.0 performance centers actually have better texture than even on plea 2.0 I believe at least my shield does and this one feels very aggressive also it did come with suppressor height sights made perfect for co-witnessing an optic so even if your optic goes down like the SRO you still have the back of iron sights uh very cool also but my favorite thing about this gun is going to be uh the MSRP of around 700 and if it performs like almost every other m p I've had on the channel That should be quite a steal for the features that you get and the capability that you get now one of the reasons why I like to use five inch guns for my home defense gun is because you do get added velocity with that extra inch inch and a half a barrel over your standard Compact and it does help you a little bit with impact a little bit more poundage and you do get a generally a better expansion on the hollow point rounds that you use for my home defense rounds we are currently using Sig lead performance and they fare very well out of a five inch barrel so I would be pretty happy with this if we go through a thousand round review and it functions reliably obviously we're going to have to do that testing and you'll be able to see that because we're going to do some of it today but I will have to get lot more rounds down through this gun before I trust it but since I already carry a shield this is kind of a no-brainer now the capacity on this side of the box is 17 rounds the weight is only 30 ounces making it light enough to carry used for home defense but heavy enough to control the recoil now the performance center Edition does have a tuned action and has a better trigger reset it does come with better sights as I mentioned before it comes with a little better cocking serrations as well so it's nice to come over the top and uh use that to rack the slide as opposed to hitting your dot which is very cool comes with a little more aggressive texture and we do have a better finish with the armor knight durable corrosion resistant finish or at least it says so on the website two magazines included although I have 100 m p mags and you should too and with that said let's go down and shoot this guy and see how it performs before we do that though we do want to thank our Patron supporters because we did buy this gun with the patron money we really appreciate that we try to make content for you and not the industry so we appreciate all the support we can get if you want to sign up for patreon all you gotta do is go to the link in the description of this video and every video and obviously also in the description is a link to a local shelter it's the yss it's used shelter so please click that link and donate to those kids now let's go do some shooting so so far slide feels nice and smooth you can see here these are the ports right here it's gonna help a lot with recoil so we'll uh zero the gun we'll zero the SRO this is a 2.5 MOA SRO we're going to zero it at seven yards then go back to 15 and then we'll show you some accuracy shoot at a distance shoot it up close see how it performs well there's no recoil on that we're shooting Blazer brass 115 and this is going to be a fun time thanks Manning thank you Manning and Sons also babe what's on your arm just because everyone's gonna ask uh the uh dirty old Under Armor sleeve or what's underneath it why are you wearing it because I like Allen Iverson a lot no it feels I got a new tattoo and I can't be out in the sun because of Ginger skin let's take a look at that four four round group there real quick seven yards 21 feet foreign so this was my first group here quick second group here took a little time with this after I had it zeroed there's three right there and one right there so we're getting nice and zeroed all right so we're at 50 yards here and we'll just see if we can put a group down on that Target down there [Applause] turn my DOT up so I can see it [Music] all right [Music] too easy oh boy [Music] foreign [Music] oh no [Applause] [Music] [Music] this is hard this is a hard one [Music] all right foreign [Applause] I got tired just watching you do all those positions so a lot of times when I'm missing when I'm going rollover prone and stuff like that it's not the fact that I'm missing the shot it's the fact that I don't know the hold because like if you are a little bit to the right and you notice you're shooting to the right it's easy to go to the right when you're standing up straight or easy to adjust for elevation but when you're going sideways it's kind of hard to adjust for the four offset the elevation the windage and a little maybe Kentucky windage all at the same time and it gives you this kind of giant math problem while you're in a bad position all right let's try that again so much fun it's hard not to do it again [Applause] [Music] foreign [Applause] 95. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] we'll go back yeah you could do that all day okay we're good right here yep all right 120 yep [Music] oh oh that's what I like to call an SRO failure it is we've seen that before haven't we yeah the hood of the SRO runs over the chamber and sometimes you get these weird failures like that yep okay let's try that again yeah take two with [Music] here we go Loop works wonders all right let's see how it defends some barrels all right [Music] foreign [Applause] [Music] they are in fact safe one of the things I've noticed is very accurate gun very freaking low recoil but it sprung real tight so it's got to be warmed up a little bit what I mean by that is if you're trying to use lightweight ammunition some really like low weight uh or sorry some really low power 115 it's not going to run in this gun and that's because it's got a ported uh uh Barrel there it also has a five inch slide so it's got a lot of Mass to bring back and forth and for some reason a lot of times on five inch guns companies they put tight recoil springs in there and it's really good for a heavy powered ammo like it's going to shoot defensive ammo super soft super reliably but for the light 115 stuff sometimes you have some problems so for me personally I like to error on reliability I'm probably going to put a lighter spring in it at some point the other thing is with uh with the newer triggers you do get just a better trigger pull overall and with this version the trigger pull hampers my rate of fire a great deal very low recoil very accurate gone super easy to get a hold of everything works but the trigger resets can kind of spongy and it's kind of not there as far as the reset goes so it does hamper my repeat shots a lot so kind of try to show you that here we'll do some two two drills and stuff like that all right still fast don't get me wrong but I think with a lighter uh crisper reset on the trigger you're going to get a faster gun so that's one eight four [Applause] that was 164. so I'm getting the hang of it mister I didn't do very well one five five you ready yeah [Music] was that you out I think I Short Stroke the trigger nope pull the slide back drop the mag pull the slide back oh no lock back no lock back okay all right so we did have some issues we actually had one failure could have been a result of the SRO because sometimes the SRO does cause uh failure to extract because the round will go up and it will hit the base of the SRO there's actually a little Mark here where the round hit I like the new M PS a lot I have the 3.5 with the new trigger I have the steel frame with the new trigger I've got a four inch with the new trigger I've got my m p Shield pluses with the new trigger and I had to go back to the old style trigger for this gun because I wanted the ported barrel right out of the box and what happened with the old triggers that I had old trigger problems and what I mean by that is the brake is great but there's very little audible reset and the reset as you experienced as well is very long right it was very spongy coming out of the gun and it did slow the Cadence of the gun up more than it should I felt like because you can grip the gun well very very little recoil because the spring is tight and on top of that you do have the compound on top of that you have the full five inch gun on top of that you do also have the light coming out of the bottom so there shouldn't be much recoil and there wasn't and I like that but what I didn't get out of it was 100 reliability and what I didn't get out of it was a solid reset I could shoot very quickly it does have Ambi controls which we mentioned earlier which we didn't mention earlier and it also has probably the best takedown lever in the business uh grip is great Magwell was good serrations were awesome the gun looks great I like the co-witness sights so I'll be interested to figure out maybe if that keeps going or not and I'll also be interested to kind of compare this to some other models that might be 700 or less so let me know what you think if you like this video please like And subscribe please provide your Oklahoma shelters and remember to recycle I'll check you later [Applause] foreign
