Beau, the M2.0 is the upgraded version. Other than the trigger: - Minor changes to slide machining, notably a more scalloped side cutout, re-contoured ejection port, and "mini serrations" near the takedown lever notch on 9mm and .40 S&W models - Beavertail reduced in size - Different grip texture - Cutouts added to dust cover above tac rail - Serial number location changed from a plate above the trigger guard to the longer cutout on the RH-side dust cover - Metal chassis extended forward into dust cover to stiffen frame - 5" barrel now offered as a standard 9mm and .40 S&W option, rather than being offered exclusively on "Pro Series" models - Tactile loaded chamber indicator added to 5" models - All-metal magazine release - Lanyard hole added to takedown tool / backstrap retainer - 4th backstrap insert introduced ("Medium Large") Slide stop redesigned to eliminate the tendency of the slide to slam shut on its own when the mag is forcibly inserted; S&W claims this was a feature, not a bug, but it seems to have been a consistent source of complaints. This is reportedly the reason for the addition of a small external tab in front of the LH-side slide stop.
