Shipping took a couple of weeks once it was in stock but finally got it.
 Attached FileLuckily mine came with the correct plates. Though it only included the standard 2.0 manual. There is nothing added to it about removing the cover and installing the plates. |

ProForce, they are a law enforcement distributor.
From what I was told, I believe as soon as the .gov agency back orders are taken care of, they should quickly appear everywhere else. I was able to put my first rounds through it today. Under less than ideal conditions and without touching the RMR adjustment I kept 50 rounds within the 4 inch circles I was using for aiming points at 25 yards while standing. I'm going to have to bench rest it to see if I even need to adjust the zero |

I finally had the chance to do some precision work with the 2.0 Core / RMR combo and was getting super frustrated because I could just not get it dialed in or even group all that well. Finally it took my buddy to notice that the screws had backed out almost completely and the RMR was rattling around on top of the slide. I will definitely be paying attention to the tightness now and may have to add something to the yellow thread-locker that came on the screws.

After my Sun. match, S&W's slow roll out w/ this may have been a blessing in disguise.
A tact. bud recently bought his Sig. X5 Legion after a recent PMO's class @ Sig. & another bud just got his optic mounted on a newly bought X5. I'm working the Houston show this wknd. w/ an FFL amigo & may be returning w/ an X5 or perhaps a CZ P10 OR, who knew. |

Saw this posted 17 Sept. @ 1424 on Pistol Forum > "I just called S&W and was told it is an archived SKU and no longer in production. CS would provide no more information if it was going to be produced again. "
This posted yesterday after the above quote by a trusted bud who earlier posted pics. of his 2nd gen. there " Yeah, not sure what’s going on with S&W currently. Mine was manufactured on 05/29/2019. " After coon fingering both Sig X5 Legions & CZ P10F OR's last Sat., I've quit waiting on S&W and going w/ the CZ, already have an SRO plate inbound for it & the pistol should be also before the end of the week. |

Bump! If they discontinued the SKU - that means one of two things: 1) It was for contract/request only where the batch was going to be so large it was worth it. Possibly an incentive program for LE agencies who already have gen 1's that wanted to upgrade to gen 2's with dots. S&W probably sweetened the deal. 2) There were reports of something being wrong and they're back to the drawing board before a mass launch. CZ didn't do the OR line until after a lot of wrinkles were ironed out, but CZ also doesn't mind doing rolling changes. |

I need to call S&W this week, my RMR is still coming loose even with threadlocker. It seems to take a single range day of about 300 rounds before the screws loosen enough for the RMR to start to move. Round count has been pretty low because I did not have a holster for it until this week, probably about 1,000 rounds so far.

For some reason my last reply did not come through. I tried calling S&W a while back and was not able to get an answer about these. With such a delay I've ditched the idea of getting the 2.0 and am just going to go back to Glock for work.
Its too bad that S&W is shitting the bed like this. No reason not to have these out already. They are definitely behind the curve |

Turns out it would have been helpful for S&W to include a manual with the gun that covers the optics mounting. I heard back about my issue with the Trijicon RMR coming loose. The 2.0 Core came with a bunch screws and several mounting plates which are not actually supposed to be used for the RMR. S&W said that I'm supposed to use the screws that came with the RMR, hopefully I will not have to worry about it anymore.

I spoke with a S&W rep over the weekend. According to him the gun is in production and is being shipped out to vendors currently.
I told him how their CS people on the phone were telling people the model number was archived and not in production. He was not to happy but said the gun is being made. |

I have to think it's because they wanted to clear out stocks of the Gen 1. Why else would they come out with a OR shield 2.0 first.
Didn't the 1.0 core have an upgraded trigger? If so really the only difference is the rough texture frame. |

All of my 1.0 pro's have had the H trigger bar but not the gen 3 slide stop, add that and the reset is very nice. All the 1.0 pro's really needed was the AEK polymer trigger and they were gtg as the hinged trigger sucks. Some 1.0's did suffer from terrible accuracy. |

I built my own for a duty gun about 18 months ago. Had WAR rework the slide and Fire for Effect out of El Paso did the optic cut. When the photo was taken, I was waiting for the Dawson custom front sight to come in. It now wears a tritium FS that is the correct weight for co-witness. Shoots really well as you can see and the DPP is holding up great.
