SPRINGFIELD ECHELON BETTER THAN SIG?

This review of the all-metal Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 highlights its shootable balance and controllable movement, largely attributed to its weight.

The handgun is optics-ready with a versatile plate system allowing for low-profile red dot mounting and boasts a 17+1 round capacity. The primary cons identified are its significant weight and larger size, making it less ideal for concealed carry, and a slightly higher cost.

He emphasizes that co-witnessing is for backup purposes, not simultaneous aiming, and that red dots are parallax-free. Tony advises against aligning the red dot with irons for every shot, suggesting it's a misuse of the optic's capabilities and potentially a waste of money if not utilized correctly.
