Now that they have sold three bazillion Shields that I didn't like in the first place, they are going to fix it. Maybe I will buy one this time after I have a chance to take a look at it.
Kind of hard to do on a striker fired gun.
They coulda/shoulda done so much more for a 2.0 shield, but they opted not to........I'll keep my Shield 45 and pass on the 2.0 9mm......
Will try to be positive about the new BG......fingers crossed.......

Ok. Looks fine. However....
I'm sticking with my current 9mm and .45 Shields.

So what are improvements? Website link didn't say much. I have a 9mm that I have had for almost 4 years. No problems!

We have over 400 shields that we need to sell through at my store. The 2.0 is a good improvement though. I am willing to bet the bodyguard gets the 2.0 treatment next.
1. Aggressive grip texture - like the 45 Shield.
2. Revised trigger stop on frame.
3. Front of slide scallops - like 45 Shield.
4. Supposed trigger improvement - like the 45 Shield.
5. $30 Higher retail price.
If you already have a nice Shield, why "upgrade"?
By the way, most newer production Shields already have an "improved" lighter trigger.
If they offer a $100 cash rebate, I'd buy a few.
Otherwise, I'll wait for the Springfield XDE 45 with external hammer...
Well if they go & just make a small version of the shield in 380 & call it the BG 2.0 then they will be going after Glock again & Ruger will continue to hold most of the 380 pocket pistol market.
Ruger went outside the box with their LCP II & I think hit a home run. I would like to see S&W come up with something to really compete with them.
1. Hate the aggressive grip on Shield 2.0 (love it on my M&P 9 2.0) but on Shield grip touches my skin 100% of time, since I carry IWB tuckable holster and don't wear t-shirts!
2. Mine was made 06/07/17 so it has new trigger stop?
3. Front scallops (useless but look cool/evil).
4. From all I read mine has the new "Improved trigger".
5. More $$, mine was $299. so with rebate value of $125. actual cost was $175.
So I love my 1.0 Shield!.
One thing though I don't quite understand is the white S&W label on side of box.
Says.
M&P 9 Shield NTS STD Trigger
06/07/17
I guess the NTS means No Trigger Safety?
I guess the STD means Standard Trigger? There never was an optional available!
The gun store label list same as in line 1, M&P Shield 9 NMS.
Guess that means no manual safety.
So why does box list STD Trigger?
I'm not sure that the 'STD' actually means Standard, but if it does, Standard would mean 'NOT the heavier MA/CA compliant trigger'.
Thank You! That is exactly what it means! (I think)
So I Guess, mine has all the 2.0 features except the Scallops, Grips and higher price?
would have been nice to have a model with grip activated lazer, and rails, and upgraded sights.......just saying.............
Yeah wonder what there going to do with shield 45. It already has improved trigger and grip like the 2.0 anyway I really like the aggressive grip and improved trigger over my old shield 9. I also have the m&P 2.0 full size which I really like a lot.

Wonder if they have the same type of trigger bar the M2.0 FS & C have?

Grumble grumble why would S&W make a 66-1 when my no-dash was just fine!!! 
Like it, buy it; don't like it, keep whatcha got!

As mentioned in an earlier posted I have had my Shield since January of 2014. I have always thought the trigger was fine maybe even a little light compared to the Glock 23 I carried before I retired.
As for the grip - something with a little bit of a palm swell would help. I put a Pachmeyer Grip Grove on mine as I was used to shooting / qualifying with the double stack Glock and needed something more in my hand.
