Shield 2.0 almost here?

[Watchdog]

Just sent my shield for a service.

Wish they send me a 2.0 in return.

Well, if Smith & Wesson's repair and customer service is as horrible as lots of people on this forum think it is, that's entirely within the realm of possibility.

Good luck.

Buy a 2.0 compact instead. that way all your m&p mags are universal for that caliber.
The added capacity could save your life as well.
Either way enjoy

I'll respectfully disagree. In a personal self-defense situation, training will save your life.

Shield 2.0 confirmed at work today. No pics or details given but we were told to expect it.

I think I will delay my purchase and see what it looks like.

Hope they come out with a Shield 380 down sized! My BG380 is unreliable!

I would jump all over a Shield 380. It wouldn't even have to be downsized that much for me. I looked at the BG380 for a long time when they came out, but too many issues.

If a Shield 380 were about the same size as the 9mm, what would be the attraction?

Lower recoil for my wife for one, and I just think it would be cool.

Just emailed my go-to dealer and asked him to put me on the list.

A 380 Shield would have substantially less recoil, it would be ridiculously easy to rack the slide, and it might have a significant reduction in weight.

I wonder how aggressively textured a 2.0 Shield will be. The first time I shot my 2.0 compact I thought I was going to have to sand it down some but it was OK the second time I shot it (Less rounds, got used to it some). I view the 2.0 compact as a home defense and range gun with an option to carry if for some reason I feel I need a larger gun than I normally carry.

But a Shield with that aggressive texture would rub against my skin. Not really what I want in a carry gun.

I ended up with a Glock 43 for a carry gun because I shot it better than the Shields I tried and it is lighter and smaller. But I really like my 2.0 compact and will give a 2.0 Shield a try if it is not too heavy and and S&W does not get carried away with the texturing.

I would love a shield 380 that competes with the glock 43.

I'm not a big fan of Taurus guns, but my wife's 738 TCP with stainless steel slide and pink plastic, is very lightweight, the trigger pull is very nice & light. She shoots it very well at short distances (7 yards). It has been very reliable. One thing I found about my wife, is that she doesn't want to carry any more weight in her already heavy purses than is absolutely necessary. I have finally learned not to pick out any gun purses for her or any other lady marketed guns or gun accessories.

Dang! Now that I've got a Shield it will be obsolete! I'll have to run out and buy a new one.

Hey at least you're not typing this from a Zune or something!

 

[Vulcannut]

I would be interested in guess but would be more interested if they have a fire sale on all the 1.0 version including the shields. Something better than a $75 rebate say like $150

I have no problem buying last year's models so........

If a 2.0 shield came out at some point I would consider it but my original shields work great and do what they are suppose to do very well.

So it looks like the .45 was already the 2.0.

WOW! $449.99 its not worth it to me, my grip is fine and so is the trigger.

I paid $299.99 for mine NIB + got the rebate, so am a very "Happy Camper"!

 

[Cheapskait]

What akdude said.

Not a lot of people who already have a Shield are going to run out and get one of these, I bet.

 

[comiskeybum]

Price will come down. I'll see if we have then at work tomorrow.

But yeah mostly this is for people who don't already have a single stack 9
