M&P 2.0 Compact Announcement

[Christopher67]

They're already listed on my LGS's website. They said they should receive the first batch late this week or early next week. Brownells has them on their site for pre-order

Thanks! I'll wait till Guns for Sale | Online Gun Store | Grab A Gun has them, Brownell's prices seem to higher then everyone else's.

>>Looks good. I have no need for one.<<

Same here, but that doesn't mean I won't get one!

 

[Telecaster]

To me, the Shield is the ideal carry size, but I might have to try one of these!

 

[fallhunter]

I hope you're right. I really like my 1.0 40C, so it certainly is not any kind of punishment to keep carrying and shooting it. Super accurate and dependable.

My brother works for S&W, and he said this is going to be the compact for the 2.0, no 3.5", 12 round in the works.

12 round will be 3 inches I'm sure. The sub compact with a two finger grip.

Too large for me, just like the G19.

Honestly, the Shield 9 is my ideal carry. If I want more rounds, I grab my G26. I won't carry anything much larger than the Baby Glock.

****, another gun to buy. The wife is going to lose it for certain this time.

The Shield is already a 3.1" barrel gun, and holds 7 (in the 9mm). It would a pretty wide or tall gun to squeeze in another 5 rounds.

Good to know, I guess. Might have to pick up a 1.0 9C before they're gone, for the wife.

XDS vs. XD same thing. XDs single stack and slightly thinner XD double stack 13+1.

The compact is on the S&W website now at M&P(R)9 M2.0™ Compact | Smith & Wesson . Too bad S&W does not list height since that is the biggest difference compared to the full size model. No free magazines but it lists for $30 less than the full size.

I also found the G19 too big to be a carry gun, at least on a regular basis. But this size makes a lot of sense as a home defense gun that might be carried every once in a while. The shorter grip makes it a little easier to carry. Since I can get all 3 fingers on the grip with this size gun it can use the full size magazines without having my pinky put pressure on the magazine. I have never heard of that causing a failure but it does not seem right to me.

A Shield 9 holds 7 in the (small) mag plus 1 in the chamber for 8 total, and I can get at least part of my little finger on the grip. The 8 round mag gives 9 total in the gun, plus a full grip for all fingers. It's still a pretty small gun for that much full 9mm firepower.

I can't wait. Early Xmas present to myself. My thoughts and full disclosure I'm a newer gun owner.

I've owned my 9c just over a year. Still my only handgun which I chose to be my CCW and serve as a temporary HD gun. I, like a lot of others wanted to like Glocks, but don't. I don't feel the need to carry a second magazine in my daily life (I'm aware mag failure is a reason too), but also wanted more than 6+1 or 8+1. Everyone has their preference.

When I was originally making my decision the 12+1 checked all my boxes but one. I wanted just a few more rounds in the mag. Knowing what I know now vs the first time around I probrably could have and will at some point have a FS M&P as a CCW option. I'm a little above average size guy which makes the 9c disappear and I have larger than average hands, but the gun fits me perfectly. Maybe it was beginner ignorance on grip,etc who knows, but a year into it and the 9c feels like it was made with me in mind.

The new compact will check all my boxes for my CCW. Perfect in the middle of 9c 1.0 and a FS (assuming height is in between as well).

Since it's the updated platform seems like a no brainer for people that love the 1.0 version.

I just took a screenshot off the link provided from y'all to compare differences. Overall lengths on the Compact and Regular 2.0 only make for .1 of a difference.

I'm personally not impressed with that at all. Some of you could argue .1 could make difference. I don't think it's worth losing 2 rounds over in the facet of overall length.

As stated by some already, overall height is not listed. Hopefully that difference is more substantial as the grip is the hardest for most people to conceal.

I hate to use Glock as an example, but the differences between the 19 and 17 are substantial in reference to numbers comparing overall lengths and heights. I've opted to carry the 17 over the 19 because I don't notice the difference when carrying and concealing. I feel the same will be for me between the M&P 2.0's

But it's hardly "in the middle". It's grown to almost the same specs as the FS, at least in length. And probably pretty close in height.

I get what their goal is with making it a G19 imitator. But just wish they had not abandoned their Compact customers.

I cant see a fit for me

I love my Shield and M&P40C

Both CCW in IWB, well for me

With the mag extension, I get 12 +1........ 13 in a compact in 40 is PLENTY for me

If I were a LEO, and the 2.0 was a choice, or if I HAD to OC, (Which I dont) it would make sense.

They needed a new name for this line (its not really a compact)

Just like a P229 isnt really a compact for the P226

No "C" designation on the slide in their pictures, either. I wonder if the production ones will have that or not?

 

[SATX]

The good news is that as soon as Cabelas get these in stock the compact 1.0 might go on sale. $100 discount sounds good to me.

Looked at our local store last night. 9C not on sale yet. They had a 40C with a green crimson trace on it on sale, though. $569.
