I was just curious how many people own the M&P M2.0 Subcompact and how they like it.
So far I am really happy with it. I think it's concealable enough OWB with a flush mag and the size/weight allows me to shoot it faster than smaller pistols.
I did drop an Apex Fully Machined Sear that brought the trigger pull weight down to about 4 lbs. It also made the reset more audible and perhaps more tactile (not that it needed it in my opinion, but some like that). I think it's an excellent inexpensive upgrade unless you plan on replacing the trigger (because it will come with the improved sear).
I really like the orange Ameriglo square front sight. I have the same front sight on my Shield but it's round. The square shows up better for my eyes because there is more surface area for the paint (though I still love the Shield sight). I like the serrated blacked out rear sight as it eliminates glare to provide excellent contrast.
I think the plain old DeSantis OWB pancake holster works very well keeping it tight to the body. It makes it very concealable with the aggressive cant that you often see for larger guns.
I did notice something weird, not about the gun per se, but sometimes the super aggressive grip texture bothers my skin though most of the time it doesn't. I'm not sure why, but once in awhile it does, so I ordered a original M&P9c backstrap to see if it fits with its smoother texture. I guess I could just sand this one down, but I thought I'd see how it worked since it's only $6. I'll provide update once I receive it. It won't eliminate the contact of the entire side portion of the grip texture, but the backstrap is what protrudes from the frame and makes the most contact.
Anyway, let me know how you're enjoying your Subcompact if you have one.
