So what is it?
I dunno. I'm with TunnelRat on the trigger, and IMHO it's arguable whether the grip texture and the shortened beavertail are improvements.disseminator said:The 2.0 is the one to buy.
marine6680 said:They added a new part that moves the sear. It basically works like a lever. The trigger bar pushes against the part, and it rotates to drop the sear. The original trigger had the trigger bar interface with the sear directly.
I have asked S&W about the "auto load feature" on my 45C, and in every case they told me it was not supposed to be there as a feature. They said it was merely a characteristic of many poly guns. I would buy a 2.0 for that improvement alone.Other than the trigger:
- Minor changes to slide machining, notably a more scalloped side cutout, re-contoured ejection port, and "mini serrations" near the takedown lever notch on 9mm and .40 S&W models
- Beavertail reduced in size
- Different grip texture
- Cutouts added to dust cover above tac rail
- Serial number location changed from a plate above the trigger guard to the longer cutout on the RH-side dust cover
- Metal chassis extended forward into dust cover to stiffen frame
- 5" barrel now offered as a standard 9mm and .40 S&W option, rather than being offered exclusively on "Pro Series" models
- Tactile loaded chamber indicator added to 5" models
- All-metal magazine release
- Lanyard hole added to takedown tool / backstrap retainer
- 4th backstrap insert introduced ("Medium Large")
- Slide stop redesigned to eliminate the tendency of the slide to slam shut on its own when the mag is forcibly inserted; S&W claims this was a feature, not a bug, but it seems to have been a consistent source of complaints. This is reportedly the reason for the addition of a small external tab in front of the LH-side slide stop.
