Picked Up a M&P Shield 9mm 2.0

[HEADKNOCKER]

I came across a deal on a M&P Shield 9mm 2.0
$200 with two boxes of ammo
I'll be needing a nice holster for this little beast..

Will probably end up selling my Glock 26 Gen 4
Need a J Frame Snub

Love the grip texture & factory supplied extended magazine + front cocking serrations.. NICE Little Pistol..

Will get a few pictures next post..

After looking around for a smaller auto I decided on the S&W M&P Shield 2.0 or SIG Sauer P365
Smith wins with the price.. I could buy two Shields for what the SIG Sauer P365 costs + ammo..

Excellent buy.

I've been carrying a Shield (pre Mod2) for years off duty, it has never let me down. Good choice ! ….. but I'd still hand on to my G26 too.

 

[HEADKNOCKER]

It was without a doubt one of the best buys I've come across in a while..
The two boxes of ammo cost $30 + $12 by themselves..
I really love the texture the 2.0 Shield has & the improved trigger..
Needs to find myself a appendix/IWB Kydex holster for the Shield.
Here's what She looks like..

You got a killer deal on that Shield. I love my 1.0 Over 1k rounds and never a issue !
I have the Shield 9mm 1.0 and carry IWB, If you like Kydex IWB I strongly recommend Jeltech Holsters. He makes them at his house and a great price, I have 2,my son has 2 and I picked up 4 for the guys at work, So in the 20$ range you can not beat it ! He is also on FB !

I love my Shield, and carry it a lot, IWB.

I also have a P365, and it's definitely a nice gun.

They both have their place., and both get carried.

Around here the SIG P365 costs $500 with night sights
You can find Shields around $250 most all the time
I couldn't pass on the $200 Shield 2.0, In fact did a favor buying it actually.. Guy needed some money
Who knows the S&W M&P Shield 2.0 might just give the Glock 26 Gen 4 a run for top carry position.
Need a Good Holster for the Shield..
BlackPoint, Vedder, G-Code etc. IWB or Appendix
If anybody has an extra give me a PM

I carry my Shield in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster. It's very comfortable, the holster stays put as you remove your Shield, and it doesn't print. Best of all, it costs only about $25.

 

[HEADKNOCKER]

I have one of those pocket holsters that fits pretty good to the Shield..
One of the LGSs has some in town built kydex holsters that I'm gonna give a try too.. OR just order exactly what I want..

 

[Wavygravy]

I'm sold on the Vedder LightTuck w/claw attachment.

I carry my Shield AIWB in a High Noon Mr Softy leather holster. It fits great, is very comfortable and secure and it's only $30. The Shield is my summer carry and I liked the holster so much I also bought one for my 9c which is my winter carry. Even with the bigger compact I can pretty much forget I'm even wearing it.

 

[HEADKNOCKER]

I'll give those a look too..
My #1 carry belt came from High Noon about a decade ago..
Expensive but worth every penny..
I will probably look around locally & pick up an extra magazine or just wait for Palemetto to get some stock back in & buy 5X 1.0 magazines & 250 rounds of 9mm for $100..
Needs to go buy ECC Monday & have a look at the local Kydex..

In my pocket I use an Uncle Mike's soft pocket holster(9mm). On the outside I carry my 9mm/40/45 Shields in a 1911 belt slide holster. They fit it perfectly!

That is a very nice looking leather holster for sure Jaysq

I am hoping I can go bye a few LGSs & find myself a kydex holster & maybe an extra magazine..
Bass Pro, Kentuckiana Gun Sales, Everything Concealed Carry & Kiesler's come to mind, Just a few miles away or less..

If not I'll make up an order & then decide which one?
We The People, G-Code, BlackPoint Tactical etc.

Loving the Shield..
Need to go next door & show it to Moose, He has a M1.0 40 S&W Shield

 

[HEADKNOCKER]

Hey Nice NEW Trump Hat Moose!!

Got a chance to hit the range over the weekend
The Shield will become my #1 carry once I sell my G26Gen4
Found a decent IWB made local..
