I acquired the controversial 3.6 inch M&P 2.0 compact. I only shot 50 rounds today due to time constraints but I did not have any issues.
The 2.0 grip texture creates a healthy amount of friction. Combine that with the fast cycling slide of the 3.6 and we have a flat and quick cycling pistol. I really liked the way this gun balances and behaves during recoil and recovery.
It was every bit as accurate as any Glock I own. In which, I am happy to see S&W did something about the accuracy issues seen with the 1.0.
