For those who might be unacquainted with the Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 series as a whole, there is a laundry list of improvements from the original M&P 1st Generation (if you want to call it that) as well as traits that sets the Smith & Wesson line of pistols apart from its competitors. A sampling of those characteristics can be read below:

- Tactile and audible trigger reset
