I've got the 9mm, .40 and .45ACP, all FS, all 3 with APEX FSS triggers and TFO sights for consistency, and I didn't see anything in that short video that would make me want to upgrade(?), just a little fancier grip stippling. I heard a lot of noise about the 2.0's coming out, but it sort of looks like all they did was cosmetic stuff? Maybe the triggers are better? I seriously doubt that they're better than the Apex FSS, and folks who can, will probably replace a lot of those with Apex FSS triggers or at least Apex upgrades. It appears I got all excited over nothing. I wonder if the street price of $499 will stay the same. I think that was one of the best features of the M&P's, being how they kept the prices so reasonable.

I was really hoping it was going to be more than that. And with them removing the beaver tail on the full size models, I'm officially out. I was thinking i was going to need to pick one up "just because". I too already have improved triggers, stippling, serrations... So, there is nothing in this for me.
If I were already in the market for full size M&P, I'm not even sure I'd grab one of these over the old ones. Sure it has the front side serrations now but no beaver tail. Ugh.
If I were already looking for a compact or Shield, I'd probably choose a 2.0 over the old one I guess. The front serrations and trigger might save me a little money.Ground Defense 1, Blade Defense 1, Defensive Pistol 1 & 2, Aliance Shoot House, When Things Go Bad, YSINTG, Carbine 1, DART Medical, NRA Range Safety Officer

Here's a slightly longer video.
Just realized it's unlisted on their channel so it may not stay up.

Pyzik, even the front serrations look like they were botched, with one "off kilter" at the end of the serration. I think they should have left well enough alone...if the triggers are better, and someone like a cop's department won't let them modify stock triggers, I could see the upgrade, other than like I said it looks liked they screwed the front serration up, and added nothing but a bit fancier trigger.

Bold New Graphics. Meh. Nothing compelling in all of that.

My biggest problems with the M&P line was the trigger and the rather smooth surface of the pistol grip. I'm glad they addressed those issues.

I just saw a 5 inch FDE for $519. I kind of like it, if I knew for sure it took an Apex trigger and wasn't here in Idaho, I might have bought it.

Man, tough crowd! I think the updates look good. The Shield and Compact models never had a beaver tail, for what it's worth. I'm a 1911 & metal-framed gun kind of guy but I completely believe in the M&P line. The updates appear to be incremental and well thought out. All or most of the holsters & parts used with the original M&P will work with the 2.0 model. I think we should give the new models a chance and not be so quick to dismiss them. Or....what would have actually made people happy? Serious question. What are you guys looking for in an M&P revamp?
