Width Difference in M&P Compact 1.0. vs. New 2.0

From the OP:

"But what shocked me was how FAT the gun is. The grip felt huge. The slide was also much wider than on the Shield that I have. The clerk is a nice guy and a fan of the M&P. He told me he bought a Compact 1.0 first but hasn’t carried it since he got a Shield. "

That is where I picked that up!

I agree that the 1.0 and the 2.0 should be roughly the same exact thickness, but it's not a double stack vs a single stack.

I have a 1.0 and it is definitely has a double stack magazine and although I don't own one yet, the 2.0 is also a double stack.

It's odd that Smith-Wesson doesn't list more detailed specs on the dimensions of their firearms. They generally list overall length and barrel length, but not much more.

Here's a link to their spec sheets:
