When will M&P 2.0 9c happen?

[pineoak]

LOVE the current 2.0 line.

But there is nothing that fits the small size package of the original 9c which takes the double stacked mags.

Want to pick up a 9c... but would rather wait for the 2.0 version of it.

Anyone heard or read anything? I generally wait 12 months after a new gun is released before purchasing.

With current M&P maturity, maybe 6 months.

They already replaced it. The 2.0 version is slightly different, but pretty close. It is .3" taller and .1" longer. The barrel is also .1" longer, 3.6 vs 3.5. But it also carries 3 more rounds.

I doubt they will go with anything smaller than the Compact 3.6 They wouldn't want to cannibalize Shield sales.

Have shot the 3.6 and love it. I just know the 9c conceals better as I've carried the 9c before for a while. Haven't carried the 3.6, but it's definitely easier to shoot for me even though they're not "that" different.

The 3.6 is like the G19 in that it is a compact design that can keep up with full size pistols. Still shoot the 4.25" M&P gen 1 better than the 3.6 2.0

Makes sense about not wanting to go into Shield territory, but the single stack is pointless for fat people as the double stack isn't much thicker when you're big.

I know a really big dude that carried a Desert Eagle under his belly that concealed completely.

As long as you buy a S&W why would they care which one? Are M&Ps less profitable than Shields? If anything they would probably rather have you buy a slightly more expensive M&P than a Shield.

Without a subcompact they are probably losing sales to people that would rather buy a M&P but end up with a Glock 26. I hope they do come out with a subcompact with the thinnest possible slide and grip that can still accept standard M&P magazines. It wouldn't be as small as a Sig 365 but it could be a lot more compact than the 2.0 compact.

I have the 9c, and a 3.6.

They are both different, as remarked above.

I like to carry compacts, and appreciate the larger standard mag of the 3.6, but still carry the 9c when I need it to be smaller. Yes, I also have a Shield, for when I need it still smaller.

I like the trigger better on the 2.0s, but the old trigger on the 9c isn't that bad! In a stressful situation, I am not going to notice a nicer trigger. MHO

Yes, I realize I can put full sized mags in both, and sometimes do! Plus, the full size mags make wonderful reloads.

I like compacts, and it's nice to have choices! Heck, sometimes I even carry compacts from other manufacturers.

Also hoping to see a 2.0 SC. They're missing out on that size. Maybe 2019 SHOT show.

I like the old 9c, too. Grandson has one and I bought one as soon as I saw the 2.0 9c was larger, because I was afraid they'd discontinue the old one. It seems they'd want to release a 2.0 that is the size of the old 9c--it's just between the sizes of the Glock 19 and 26.

Most people who have not done a side by side comparison would be surprised at how close the dimension are between the Shield and the 9C/40C.

Physics and dimensions can not be ignored. However, the ability to conceal these two is so very similar. I know I'm stating the obvious but the weight of the compact, loaded, is the biggest consideration when considering these two. The width of the compact, though real, is only very slightly wider than the Shield. The Shield, counterintuitively, is just slightly taller in the grip, which is usually the biggest factor/consideration in concealing a handgun. I own several of both.

I hope S&W does not come out with a 2.0 version of the original compact as I have several I'm going to sell. I just have too many. I know, "blasphemy"; but, I guess I'm a blasphemer then.

If I were absolutely dead set on a 2.0 version of the M&P9c and I was just too nitpicky to be satisfied with the 3.6" 2 .0, I would just find a cheap 1.0 M&P9c, stipple it and throw an Apex kit in it. A pawn shop near me has an excellent condition 1.0 9c for $330! An hour with my soldering iron for stippling and an Apex kit later and we're probably breaking even on the cost of a 2.0 9c...

I'd buy a 40c 2.0 tomorrow if it was available.

When are you going to start selling?

When are you going to start selling?

I already started.

I actuay have some very good pics of my 40c beside my 40 Shield. They are very close. The 40c is actually smaller in some dimensions.
