M&P 2.0 Compact Announcement

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 should have clarified better. In the middle of capacity and height. I now see it is 5" in height. The M&P 9c (1.0) is 4.3" and the FS M&P 2.0 is 5.5".

Barrel length being 4" is a bonus to accuracy (hopefully). At .7" taller than the 9c 1.0 and .5" shorter than the M&P FS 9 2.0 it's a winner for me.

Feels irrelevant to mention but for aesthetics I hate the way the 9c looks with a FS magazine and the 2.0 compact seems to fix that for me.

With the Shield so popular, and the 2.0 Compact I'm leaning toward they will bring something out (maybe not as quick as we all would like) that speaks to people looking for a true "compact" or double stack "subcompact" depending on what perspectives are in the terminology.

Either way I'll never give up my 1.0. And if the sales are right I won't beable to stop myself from purchasing another.

Well that confirms what I was afraid of. The 2.0c is too large for me. I have the 'Raisin" extension on my 12 rnd mag so it holds 14 + 1 in the chamber. I surely don't need to add .7 inches to the height and .55 inches in length to get one more round. For me, S&W blew this one. I too will be looking for a screaming discount on a 1.0c.
 
I got a chance to shoot about 100 rounds through a LE sample today. It is a very nice shootable platform. I liked it enough to place an order for one, and I don't like plastic weapons.

I can't decide if I want a M2.0 .40S&W, or a Gen 5 G23.
Anyone else here trying to make the same decision?

Well, the 2.0 Compact in .40 has been confirmed, a Gen 5 23 has not. Sounds like a no brainer to me...
 
HelpfulOne said:
I'm sorry. I was thinking Gen 5 G19 and typed that (G23). What an idiot for my first reply here. :D
BTW, I want a Gen 3 G23 LE trade in too. Any advice there?

Lol. No biggie, this thread was my first post on this forum and I posted it in the wrong section at first.

GT distributors usually has some I believe
 
This is the gun I have been waiting for since the introduction of the M&P series. I will probably get one in both 9& 40. I have always prefered G19 sized guns for carry. These will be great!!
 
Many outlets are taking orders already especially LE dealers, the LE pistols will come with 3 magazines.
 
Just found out that my LGS is having a S&W days monday and tuesday and the S&W rep will be bringing a generous supply of 2.0 compacts for people to try and buy. He will also have the 5 inch 9mm in FDE which ive had my eye on. They are going to be offering "big discounts" so depending on what that might be, i might be coming home with a M 2.0 in some form on tuesday.

I wonder why they only offer a 5 inch FDE, or 5 inch in any variety, in only 9mm. That's ok though.

I could have sworn they offered the 40 in the 5 inchers too. Hmph.
 
Yeah, I get 10+1 in my Shield (MagGuts). Not sure the 5 extra rounds is worth the extra size.

I noticed also, why is the 4.25" & the 5" $100 cheaper then the compact?:confused:

It's just the usual cashing (literally) in on being able to ask a higher price for a desirable new model. The retail price of the Compact is actually $30 cheaper than the 5" and 4.25" guns.
At some point in the future the Compact will become much cheaper. Or at least somewhat cheaper.
 
This caught my attention,as I was G19 centric for quite a few years. But,I havn't seen anything official from S&W yet. I am currently carrying a 45 Shield as my daily CCW while the wife carries the Shield 9.
I am always having to confront poachers, mostly during the nighttime hours on this 1000 acre farm. (Not mine,I just protect the equipment.)
Having shot a full size M2.0 and falling in love with it I will probably be going for that, since I have several other pistols mostly for CCW. I usually have two and sometimes three of these miscreants to deal with,so round count becomes important. Nice looking pistol and the right size for most folks, but think the FS would serve me better in the role it's needed for.
 
$485 at Gallery of Guns. I almost clicked to buy it but kinda don't want to be a beta tester.
