M&P 2.0 Compact Announcement

So 7.3 length compared to the 7.4 FS length and a slightly shorter grip = compact? okay

I agree, it's too large. Lopping 1/4 inch barrel length from the full size is meaningless. I can't believe they even bother. I guess we will wait a bit to get official numbers but, if the above is correct, they only shortened the overall pistol by 1/10 inch. My M&Pc 1.0 is a lot easier for me to conceal on my hip than my wife's G19 so I guess I am one who doesn't think the G19 is so wonderful size wise.
 
Given the size, you have to wonder if they'll be coming out with a subcompact to match up with what almost everyone else is doing.

Unless they figure there isnt a market for one and jumping all the way down to a shield is where they think people will buy.

Id vote for a double stack sub compact that competes with everyone else like springfield, etc.

But this is eactly what Sig, Glock, springfield, and almost everyone else does. They go 5, 4, 3(3.3 for 45) and then they drop down to single stack.
 
For me, the FS gun is just too limiting on not just the larger size, but the weight too when carrying concealed. Let me have a range gun, that I can lighten and shorten for occasional carry. Both my Shields are great EDC, but out in the woods hunting, plinking, carrying in the car are all more flexible and lend themselves to a bigger gun. Perfect size in my world ��
 
I love my M&P 40 Compact with its 3.5" barrel and 10+1 capacity. It has been the perfect carry pistol for me for the last 2 1/2 years. Unfortunately, it developed some light strike problems at 8500 rounds, and is currently back at S&W for repair. If they can't get it to function the way it has in the past, I'll have to look elsewhere for a replacement, because the 2.0 Compact is simply too large for me to carry. Let's hope S&W will eventually produce a 3.5" short-grip 10+1 .40 cal. version.

The new pistol allows sales in states like Colorado where 15 round magazines are the largest allowed. The reduction in overall size is not significant.
 
Still amazes me that Colorado of all places has restrictions like that.

My full size 2.0 came with fifteen round magazines from the factory. I didn't even know S&W offered them. I thought it would either be ten rounds or seventeen. I was surprised to see that offer ten, fifteen, or seventeen round magazines.
 
It looks good. I have the first MP9C and love it. Idk if it would be worth the upgrade. Thanks for posting though, I love the M&P line of firearms.

I've got the 9c and 45c. Like the size and feel of the 45c and carry it most of the time. With the new 9c fitting right between the old 9c and the 9fs, and being the same size of the 45c, I might just have to add one to my M&P collection. :cool:

A little closer look in a vid from Brownell's.

Spoiler alert: It's the same size as a G19.

Looks good. I have no need for one. Id want a full size since I already have a XD Mod.2 SC .

And even then id want to weigh the full size versus the 5 inch XD Mod.2

Yeah, they get sick of Cali and move, and then try to remake their new home into the one they left.
Sorry about the drift.........
 
I would really consider selling my Gen4 G19 and getting one of these new M2.0 Compacts. I do have a new 5" FDE M2.0 in .40 and a 1.0 40c. Got quite a few goodies for both.

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to use the "New" M2.0 compact magazines on the older 1.0 compacts. I could see my 40c go from a 10 round mag to a 13 round mag. I do use the full size 15 round magazines when I CCW my 40c from time to time.

Nice Job S&W!
 
I agree with others, not really a compact anymore. Might as well just buy the FS 2.0. I EDC the 40C and would not be able to carry the way I do if it were any wider or longer, which this gun seems to be both of.

I'm sure it's a fine pistol, but it's no longer a compact, IMO.
