Frequently Asked Questions

What modifications make the M&P 2.0 shoot flatter?

This M&P 2.0 achieves flatter shooting through a combination of barrel porting (one large front port and three smaller ones) and slide cuts. These features vent gases upward during firing, significantly reducing muzzle rise and improving control for faster follow-up shots.

Who performed the custom work on this M&P 2.0?

The custom work, including the Cerakote finish, barrel porting, and optics cuts, was performed by Angel City Armory, a custom gunsmithing shop located in Southern California (SoCal).

What is a 'gas pedal' and how does it help?

A 'gas pedal' is an aftermarket thumb rest, like the one from Black Steel shown here. It provides an enhanced grip point, offering better leverage and control, which aids significantly in managing recoil and maintaining a stable shooting platform.

What are the benefits of barrel porting on a handgun?

Barrel porting vents propellant gases upwards as they exit the muzzle. This action counteracts the natural tendency of the muzzle to rise under recoil, resulting in a 'flatter' shooting experience, allowing for quicker sight acquisition and more accurate follow-up shots.
