You are correct ...

I do use Hornady Critical Defense ammo is some of my other handguns (38spl, .357mag, and .45 colt) for self defense but in this "time of shortages", you get what you can find.

My 2.0 has a four inch barrel ... I bought the Winchester white box ammo because I didn't have brass at the time. I have over 2300 pieces of brass now.

I almost never buy factory ammo but make an exception when I buy self defense ammo. I recently bought a M&P 2.0 9mm Compact and found this box of Remington Ultimate Defense "Full Size Handgun" with 20 rounds. Since the shelves have been empty since I bought this pistol, I felt fortunate to find...

I wanted share my holster experience for my M&P 2.0 9mm Compact.Thanks to Shorthand, I will now use a 5378 Safariland holster. This model comes with both a belt loop and a paddle. I have been trying out both and both work well for me. I will probably favor the paddle for now but both provide a...

Thanks guys for the replies. As an update, I ordered my 2 magazines from Greg Cote. When I was checking out Primary Arms, the site told me it was a regulated item and that I would just need to do two orders of one mag each time. That didn't sound right (shipping $10.50 for each order) so I sent...

Thanks ... I'll check them out.

I just bought a M&P 2.0 9mm Compact SKU 11686 that came with two 15+1 magazines. I would like to buy two more but am not having any success. I believe the part number is SW3008590. Does anyone know where I might find any? I know :( ... another "wanting to buy magazines" post but I have looked...

My camp gun is a 4 5/8" Blackhawk. My bear load (never hunted bear with it) came from slowly working up to this load ... bullet ... 300gr Hornady XTP powder ... 21.2 gr H 110 brass ... Starline primer ... WLP It is stout and of course a "Ruger only" load. I also have some Beartooth bullets for...

No problem at all ... that is what I thought you meant. My reply of "comfortably accurate" meant most of my pistol loads are middle of the road or slightly higher with few exceptions.

I bought a Shield 9mm 1.0 in 2015 ... a Shield 45 acp 1.0 in 2018 ... a Shield 380 EZ in 2018 ... a Shield 380 EZ Performance Center in 2020 ... and a M&P 2.0 9mm Compact in 2021. I have never had any issue with any of them but I have yet to shoot the 9mm Compact. I have been fortunate to not...

I just could never get used to an IWB holster. I certainly see the advantages. I have had a couple and have one left. I've always preferred leather for the right side and several cross draw including my 45 colt Blackhawk camp gun. But even at this late stage, I am much more open to trying kydex.

That's what I will do except for the "hot" part as I have been at the "comfortably accurate" load stage for many years. I have around 300 of the sorted range brass primed and ready to load. I think they will be plenty good for shooting plates and clays.

So after sorting and then sorting again, sizing/depriming, clean primer pockets, and belling 1500 (the number I started out with) pieces of 9mm range brass and 500 pieces of .45 acp range brass, I somehow received 1000 9mm Starline brass and 500 .380 Starline brass today delivered by UPS. I put...

For an update ... I have ordered an Urban Carry for my 2.0 Compact. For insurance, my brother will use it if I do not like it as he has a couple of Shields and another new 2.0 9mm. I appreciate the replies as they were helpful. I have always leaned toward leather but still might try a kydex...
