LEAK | NEW Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Metal Long Slide

Earlier today we learned of a new pistol from Smith & Wesson. This is an update to their M&P 2.0 Metal line, bringing us their 5-inch long slide variation into the Metal series of pistols. It looks as if some texture and shaping has been updated, the slide is optics ready. From the photograph we can see that the front sight has either a white dot, or possibly a gold bead as well. Overall the gun looks solid, and we’ll be excited to get our hands on them in the future.

Thanks to Reddit user ST0RMP00P3R for initially posting this! You can check out the thread >>HERE<< to see for yourself. Unfortunately details are slim for now, but we’ll provide updates as they arrive. Let us know what you think of this new piece from S&W down below.
