New 9mm 2.0 rubbing me wrong

Agreed--a good belt is a must for this gun. I'm 5'10" and didn't feel conspicuous with it IWB at all. Open Carry went into effect here as of the first of the year, so I have that option, too. Probably only when I go to an outdoor range, though--don't really like to advertise. ;-)


My new 2.0 is a big gun to carry but I am a big guy at 6'4" and >250. Just wore it to town to drop off paper work and pick up a few things and other then being much larger then the 9c no problems. A really good belt helps I have always used leather double stitched. But went with a Indestructibelt and it works much better then a heavy leather belt with a heavy gun.
 
Mine ruined a couple shirts. Said forget this piece of garbage and said sword it off. I have no use for something like that. If I can't use it as a carry piece, then why have it someone is going to get an M&P 2.0 for next to nothing.

I picked up a 9mm 2.0 and it fits in several of my 9c holsters so I am wearing it around the house. In waist band at 5 o'clock and it is rubbing my skin raw after only three hours had to take it off.

Its a full size but geez if the new c models are this rough I would need a different holster.

The holster I tried to use is a Galco King Tuck. I also have a combat master but its a OWB holster so it shouldn't be a problem.

Am I doing something wrong or missing something?

Apparently, the folks at S&W don't keep up with the competition. Glock tried its RTF2 and it was so bad that, apart from the Vickers Special Editions, it was discontinued. The troopers in Missouri were having holes rubbed in the sleeves of their uniform shirts just from their sleeves making contact with the RTF2 grip frame during walking.

A grip frame that is like fine sandpaper just doesn't do it for me.

After the excessively long wait for the 2.0, I was a bit underwhelmed when the new 2.0 pistol had the awful grip texture, and the PC sear, which could have been put in as a "rolling change" during ordinary production at any point in production. Likewise for the new grip shell. Since S&W now owns the molding company, a new texturing pattern could have been put on at any time.

What I really wanted was the type of modularity that the SIG P320 has with its fire control unit.

The Beretta APX ups the ante on SIG by selling one grip shell which has interchangeable back straps so the user does not have to buy additional grip shells in order to fit the weapon to the user's hand.

As the song goes, "you can't always get what you want."

Try Talon rubber grip tape. It's got just the right texture IMHO. Grippy but smooth on skin. It's only $18 and you can take it off if you don't love it.
