Really hoping it does....or if its on the horizon.  

Does a 5" CORE exist in the market?  I'd really like to have a dedicated optic MP 2.0 in the lineup.  Those FSS Flatties from Apex are pretty incredible.

Thanks!

I was talking to someone I knew from S&W a couple months ago.  Said "they're coming, but don't hold your breath."

Bummer...guess I'll just have to wait.

I just recently bought a 4.25 core and love it. There's very slight differences between it and the 2.0. Not enough to hold out for except the perhaps the 2.0 will accommodate the leupold deltapoint pro. I'm running a trijicon rmr on it with a apex trigger kit and it's awesome. The core comes with stippled back straps like 2.0 and if you really need the stippling on the front part of grip you can always do it yourself
