Installing an Ed Brown slide on your Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 9mm is like adding an afterburner to your engine (only easier)…
Ed Brown‘s upgraded slide for the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 9mm is custom forged and machined in the Ed Brown factory to the company’s demanding specifications. With hand-tuned tolerances, the Ed Brown slide offers outstanding accuracy and unmatched reliability.

Intended for use on M&P 2.0 full-size pistols, it is custom machined from 17-4 stainless bar stock to precision tolerances, and cut for Trijicon RMR or SRO optic and includes an Ed Brown RMR coverplate.
The best part is that you won’t need a gunsmith to add an Ed Brown slide to your ho-hum M&P 2.0 … you can do it yourself in about 10 minutes! Check out this terrific step-by-step video that demonstrates how simple it is. If you’d like an Ed Brown slide of your own, you can get one right here!
