Found a great deal on a 2.0 9mm Shield on GB

[creeksidewilly]

I was on GB looking for a smaller carry pistol and found a New Old Stock 2.0 9mm Shield for $318. with two mags, one 8rd and one 7 rounder.
With shipping it came to $376. total, which I thought was a great deal.
The PC models were around $550. plus shipping and I would have liked a PC, but it just wasn't worth the extra dough to me.

Anyway there's one more at that price if anyone's interested.

* Oops, edited the shipped price because math is hard.

I just changed out the stock sights on my 2.0 to the XS R3 sights. A big improvement for me.

I've got three of them, with two being PC's. I don't really see much difference in the PC models. They do have fiber optic sights, which is an improvememt over the standard sights, but the standards aren't "bad" either. If there's a difference in the triggers, I can't tell it. Neither can my scale. One of the PC's has a ported barrel. Again, I can't tell if there is a difference or not. It is messier to clean. The other PC has a 4" barrel, not ported. Really good shooter with the longer sight radius. The non PC one has a green laser. That's about it.

I don't remember any of the three ever malfunctioning. You'll like it I'm sure.

Probably tax (GB collects full state and local these days) plus shipping plus credit card fee.

Oops, my bad, it was $376. with shipping. I seem to be math challenged these days.

I will catch a lot of flack for saying this, but I like my 2.0 Shield 9, better than my early Shield Plus.

Good purchase, congrats.

Overall, I like my Shield Plus better than my Shield 1.0, especially when the Shield 1.0 still had the stock, basic sear. However, the Shield 1.0 was vastly improved by adding the S&W PC sear. I've had people say that the trigger feel was pretty similar to how Shield 2.0s felt out of the box.

It also had a more positive trigger reset than my Shield Plus, or any of my M&P 2.0s, for that matter

I remember buying my Shield 1.0 with the Smith & Wesson rebate for $249 and I thought that was an incredible deal at the time. It had a decent trigger and I was quite happy with the gun, but everyone was saying how great the Sig 365s were and I bought one of those and liked it even more so said goodbye to the Shield. I may try it a Shield plus someday but it would be hard to dethrone the Sig 365.

I got my Shield 1.0 when there was a rebate to clear out inventory before the 2.0 came out.

I ended up also buying a P365XL, and when I shot them back to back, I found that I was more consistent with my first round out of the holster with the P365XL. I put this up to the flat trigger. However, I found the Shield to be flatter recoiling, which I think was mainly due to the grip angle.

This made me think that I'd really like the Shield Plus, so I bought one when S&W had a fall/winter rebate. I was right.
