Well, that's unfortunate. I've never had any negative issues with mine. Maybe in 100 years it'll be a collector's item....

Someone is betting the farm on the Gun of the Year.

Sorta like the Truck of the Year.....Gotta pass it around....can't give it to the same company every year.....

i did not like the original BG. Bought and sold it maybe a month later. We have a few at the shop and sales are slow. The 2.0 BG sells very well and is a HUGE difference from the original.

 

[hyena]

That's a shame. Very happy with mine. If I ever need another I'm sure there will be used ones out there.

I carry mine frequently, the size and discretion are huge benefits and I like the long, DAO trigger and concealed hammer.

 

[Bourget117]

I would never buy the 2.0 because the 1.0 was exactly what I was looking for when I purchased it 10 years ago. I feel the same way today.

I like my original once I adapted to it

 

[joeb427]

S&W must feel it's obsolete. Judging by the sales of the 2.0, it just may be.

 

[LVSteve]

I shan't miss it. I tried to dry fire one once. With my skinny hands and long fingers, it moved all over the place before the hammer dropped. The trigger pull covered a couple of zip codes.

Not surprising that they are sacrificing safety for tacticoolness.

Safety between the two models is the responsibility of the owner.

 

[CajunBass]

I guess they don't see much sense in competing with themselves. Two guns. Same niche market.

If Smith hadn't produced the 2.0, I could have been entirely content with the original. Wanted something LCP sized, but much more shootable, with decent sights. The double action was no big deal for a DA revolver shooter, and TruGlos made the decent sights into great sights. Have two good ones, and one that wasn't reliable. . Between the long trigger, hammer full down at rest, and firing pin block...safest small pistol, ever.
And then they came out with the 2.0....which holds more,and is easier to shoot, better ergos. Jury is still out on changing the sights; have the BG1.0 rears on both of mine.
