Is Smith & Wesson going to make a 2.0 red. It's not from Performance Center

[Gridlock]

Does anyone know if Smith Wesson is going to make me M&P 2.0 compact or full size red Dot ready

I assume you are talking the 2.0 core model. I have seen pictures and some of the LEOs have already have them but they have not been announced for public consumption yet . Supposedly they're on the way.

Contacted customer service a couple of weeks ago asking about the full size core 2.0.   Below is the reply.  Pretty much the same reply I got

when I asked the same question shortly after the Shot Show.

Cool i will be looking forword to it . looking to get one like the glock 19 mos i dont want any slide cut holes just the rmr cut

I'm shocked that S&W is dragging their feet getting this to market.....everyone else is racing to show off a red dot ready model and they just left the old ones out....very odd.  I'm guessing they don't have anything else to show off at SHOT next year, so they're saving it for that???

I'm also confused by S&W's delay in producing a 2.0 CORE. I think the CORE system is pretty decent as the optics still thread directly to the slide instead of threading into the plate like the MOS. I loved my 1.0 CORE once I Apex'd it

I feel like S&W is like Apple.. creates the "innovative" Shield and owns that market. Instead of innovating, they just come out with different variants.. like the iPhone Cs and Ss. 

 

After a big hit, they're just stagnant in the market while everyone else comes out with optic cuts from the get go and p365s and Hellcats...

Instead of answering the P365, S&W just releases a subcompact(which is just a compact 1.0 with 2.0 upgrades)... that's like when Apple released the iphone #S's and #C's

Finally picked up my non-Performance Center M&P 2.0 C.O.R.E.  They are out there but not always readily available.  I’m told Smith should be pushing more of them out.
