Smith & Wesson 2.0 Compact 9mm
The more I shoot my Smith, the more I like it. I am a Glock 19/23/32 guy, but the 2.0 Compact is neck and neck.
Here’s a pic, so it happened. 50 rounds at 10 yards.

Very nice. Giving a lot of consideration to getting one of these myself.

It wasn't really the gun, give the shooter a little more credit.

Thanks. Some pistols make it easier, though.

Nice shooting!
I have the 2.0 9mm Compact on my 'short list'.
Waiting on purchase permits.
My problem is that I prefer the 3.6", and here in NJ with our 10-round magazine limit, there are only 15-round models available from S&W.
S&W does NOT offer the 3.6" Compact with the 10-round magazines!
This means I would have to buy it with 15-round magazines that the FFL alters by drilling/pinning the magazines.
So the magazines could not be disassembled for cleaning. I would probably end up throwing them away after they got really dirty.
I would have to replace them with 10-rounders WHEN S&W finally starts selling them (they are not available yet unless you buy them with the 4" Compact model).
If NJ ever goes back to a 15-round limit (like California, we also have lawsuits pending in the system), I would have to buy new 15-rounders.
I called S&W last week and asked the customer service rep to 'pass along' my request for them to release a 10-round model of the 3.6".
I have 10-round full-size M&P mags for my Sub-2000, so I have a way to 'get around' this issue until the 10-round Compact magazines hit the market, but the whole thing stinks when I think about the extra cost for magazines because of S&W's wishy-washy arbitrary catalog choices.
Yes, I'm sure I would be happy with the 4" model, but I think I would PREFER the 3.6" model, and I'm only going to be buying one of these Compacts.
This will be one of the last pistols I buy this time around (1 per month to keep our Governor happy) to give S&W some time to add the 10-round option to their catalog - I hope!

I've lived in NJ since 1969. At that time, things were 'better' here. Now, the bureaucratic 'hoops' we have to jump thru are a real pita for gun owners. Buying (and selling) a handgun is more of a big deal because the permit process really limits you. So when I do it, I have to choose carefully, to avoid regrets. So far I haven't been disappointed with any of my purchases.
I intend to leave this State after my youngest finishes high school/college - 5 or 6 years to go!

It is a cumbersome process to purchase a hand gun in NJ, however, once you have gone through with it and your purchase is in your hands,the pain goes away. The 10 round mag limit really had me p****d because my 9C 2.0 came with 15 rounders (was legal at the time). I did have them modified to accept only 10 by an FFL. I find that my mags do not really get too dirty so the inability to totally disassemble them has not been an issue thus far. BTW - you only need to cross the Delaware River to be in a much more gun friendly state (PA).

Picked up my permits today (and a used Model 63), so the pain is starting to fade!
On other note, S&W now has the 10-Round 2.0 Compact mags available on their website. Natchez has them too at a better price. As of this morning, Midway and GunMagWarehouse did not have them yet.
