SD9 2.0 vs. Shield 2.0, which one?

[cougar015]

I just won a nice SD9 2.0 on a gun raffle and there is an option to switch it for a 9mm Shield 2.0. Not being familiar with the SD9, is it a better deal than the Shield? Price is about the same.

The Shield Plus is lighter, comes with night sights and optics ready.
SD9 has 3 more capacity, a 4 inch barrel, and is not optics ready.

You have to decide what use and functionality you need.

Does anyone have any shooting range data on the SD9 for accuracy, reliability, etc.?

The SD-9 is S&W's bottom of the barrel. . Get the shield ,it would be easier to use as trade bait or sell.

I carry the Shield 9 with Apex trigger job.

I got quite a few rounds through it and nary an issue ever.

Shield 2.0

Shield all the way. SD9 is blowback, you won't like the way it shoots. Its size is also more similar to a compact M&P, the Shield 2.0 will be smaller. Note the Shield 2.0 is not the same as a Shield Plus.

It most certainly is not, its locked breach.

That said, the Shield is a significantly better gun than the SD IMO.
