Kind'a amazed no one mentioned it - but there's a little lever tool at the base of the hand grip on M&P 2.0's, you can see the end of it on the video, back side of the magazine base. No need for a punch tool to push the take down lever, since you have a tool already built-in to the frame. Thanks for the video!

Same procedure I use when cleaning my pistols. US Navy veteran of 4 years and 25 years Law Enforcement plus I've had guns since I was 12. (I'm 73 now) One thing different is I use Lucas Red bearing grease that I apply with a hobby brush to parts that slide and synthetic machine oil for parts that rotate/pivot. Oil is refined and contains solvents to make it thin. solvents continue to evaporate where as synthetic lubricants do not.

I was told to NEVER put oil in the barrel. Can you confirm this? I have never put oils in my barrels and I’ve never had a problem. I was told not to because liquids cannot be compressed, when the projectile passes through the barrel (if there is oil) that can cause a bulge in the barrel and damage the gun leading to malfunctions . .

I hate to be that guy, but I cannot believe the amount of people here who are complaining about not being able to find the take down lever. Yellow, or not yellow these handguns are so damned basic there is only ONE lever inside the gun. So poke at it until something moves or hell just do what the gun is designed to do, push the lock release then pull the trigger to field strip it. This is my first handgun as well you'll be fine. Instead of complaining look up your manual...

Mine is different for some reason on the takedown/field strip. I did it exactly like you did, but the slide wouldn't come off. I went exactly how you did as well as the booklet it came with, and neither worked. Then I just squeezed the trigger while I was watching your video trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, then the whole slide slid off and hit the ground. Idk why mine needs me to squeeze the trigger first, but it does. Maybe if other people's pistols are the same way, they'd do good by seeing this comment

Tony thank you for the excellent video on field stripping & cleaning the Smith & Wesson 2.0; This is a big help & I very much appreciate the thoroughness of the video. I just purchased a S&W 9mm shield 2.0 as a carry pistol. My range pistol is a glock 19. Both different hand guns. Only drawback to the shield 2.0 is the tight recoil spring. Any suggestions as to how I can loosen the recoil spring or find a good replacement spring that will work well in the MP Shield 2.0 (any suggestions would be most appreciated)

Don't like CLP it's been known to contaminate ammo and should use it sparingly. You also forgot a drop of oil on top of the trigger bar ?

No offense, but that is way too much oil overall, including in places it shouldn't go, and you missed three important lubrication points (3, 6, and 7 in the manual). Excess oil doesn't help anything. It only collects more carbon, which results in a higher chance of malfunction.
