Honeybooboo Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Saw that. I don’t get the ported models because they aren’t legal in anything but I guess people like them for range plinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m39nut Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I think you can use the ported models in open but you would probably be at a big disadvantage compared to most of the dedicated open guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Maybe for 3 gun open pistol where you are shooting minor. I think I recall seeing Jerry M. using one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also bought a PC upper for a hot price. I swapped the barrel and run it in CO. Legal per the Production List provided that the barrel is replaced with a non-ported version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overtravel adjustment seems interesting. Interestingly enough, I noticed that my frame (old school 1.0 with no frame lock) has a small square hump on the frame that lines up with there the overstop would probably go. I suppose you could modify a non-PC frame to accept that overstop. If you can find that bar or a similar substitute. Another option that worked for me (up until my trigger looped broke, maybe it couldn't take the heat?) is to drop some weld on the tab that hits the striker block and shape it. I'm weird and have become accustomed to a forward set trigger. The downside of not running a forward set sear (i.e., I opened the loop to make it engage the sear sooner) is that there is a lot of overtravel. I opted for the weld solution a couple of years ago--before the Production rule changes. It was the internal kit, welded overstop, and a stock external trigger. It was pretty sweet up until the trigger bar loop broke. I think the 2.0's have a different mechanism for actuating the sear--no more loop. I also saw a thread in a nother forum where someone dropped-in a 2.0 housing and trigger bar into a 1.0. I might mess around with that just for fun. Another overstop solution that I've heard of is a set screw placed somewhere in or around the sear housing block--another internal solution.

SteelCityShooter Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I wonder if the 2.0 5" non-ported CORE slide will be offered as an aftermarket part. I have a 5" M&P9 2.0 and would really like the CORE option but not if I have to buy an entire gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris777 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) I am miffed as to why S&W does not offer a non PC, non-ported carry optics ready pistol? Seems crazy that they don't (let me know if i missed something). I just want to buy a regular M&P 2.0 (4.25 or 5" barrel) with the CORE setup.. can't find it on their website... S&W is forcing me to look at Glock and Sig... not sure why they are soooo slow on the carry optics front. Edited March 5, 2020 by Chris777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rez805 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Yeah, it looks like the only offer that comes close to that is the non-ported, no slide-cut, PC, Pro Series, CORE. Wow, that was a mouthful. https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/performance-center-mp-9-m20-core-pro-series-5-barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmi786 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Anyone know when the release date for the 2.0 core 5 inch will be? It looks like a good option for carry optics. Edited March 9, 2020 by jmi786 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revisiting this thread a month later but the M&P2.0 CORE pistols are now available. I just ordered a 5", non-ported one from GrabAGun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
