Reviewed: Fueled by Ed Brown Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 w/Trijicon SRO
Quick Answer
This build pairs a Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 9mm — a full-size, optics-ready striker-fired pistol with a 4.25-inch barrel and 17+1 capacity — with a Trijicon SRO red dot. The SRO uses a large round window and a 2.5-MOA dot for fast target acquisition, making it a popular choice for duty and competition M&P setups.
S&W M&P M2.0 with Trijicon SRO: quick facts
What is the capacity of the S&W M&P M2.0 9mm?
17+1 in the full-size 9mm; the compact holds 15+1 and the subcompact 12+1.
Is the M&P M2.0 optics-ready?
Yes — the optics-ready (C.O.R.E.) models accept red dots like the Trijicon SRO, typically via an adapter plate for the RMR footprint.
What is the Trijicon SRO?
A reflex red-dot sight with an unusually large round window and a 2.5-MOA dot, designed for fast, both-eyes-open aiming, with roughly a 3-year battery life.
Why put an SRO on an M&P?
The SRO wide window makes finding the dot quick under speed, which suits the full-size M&P M2.0 for competition and range use.
