Maybe there's something we're missing based on how the picture in the advertisement scales.
I dont like jumping to conclusions but it sure does look like an updated Shield. If that's what it is, I don't understand why they wouldn't just name it the Shield 3.0 so as to minimize market confusion.
Hopefully S&W has some YouTubers under NDA who've been quietly testing and evaluating the BG 2.0 and will give us the pitch as to what this thing is very soon.
There may be a larger plan for a product line revamp that'll unfold over the next year as S&W ramps up manufacturing in the new Tennessee HQ. We'll soon see I guess.
Whatever it is, I like the stippling toward front of the frame and I like the front slide serrations.
