+1 after visiting a local gun store today. The 2.0 specific changes appear to be beneficial from what I could gather. Trigger was better, texture was nice and grippy and the reduction of the beaver tail didn't detract from the way the gun sat in my hand (i.e. I likely wouldn't get bit by the slide). The added L/XL backstrap is perfect for my hands.Originally Posted by Sasage
Time will tell as to whether or not the gun is good to go. If it proves out I may buy one.
I got drug to gun shop by a friend today and they had a 2.0. I have to admit, if they fixed the barrel/accuracy issue, they have a winner on their hands.
I put a couple hundred rounds through a VP9 the other day and I couldn't see myself being happy with it. To big, chunky, and flippy. The 2.0 seems much more size efficient.
I keep forgetting to update this post for folks considering the 2.0. The #2 gun from post #249 that would't group well at all is back from S&W. The repair slip says they replaced the barrel then the gun "passed range testing". I took it to the range and it is indeed much better. It reliably turned in groups like the one below with 124gr +p Gold dot and budget 124gr JHP Monarch. 115gr ball was a little worse, but not much. I didn't try any 147gr ammo, but my experience with three other 2.0's makes me fairly confident that it will group heavier ammo a little worse and a little higher.
Just because I'm a glutton for punishment, I picked up another 2.0 from a guy locally who decided he wanted a 5" model instead. I wanted to see how this one shot. It's a solid shooter out of the box.
Not too shabby!

Very encouraging, those are perfectly acceptable service pistol groups at 25.I keep forgetting to update this post for folks considering the 2.0.

I shot 93 points in 10 shots slow fire from the 25 with my 2.0. Sorry about the image being sideways. Im not sure how that happened. I felt pretty encouraged given that this was with sights have not been zeroed. I am usually in the high 80s to low 90s with a Glock. Subjectively, it felt like it took a lot less effort to score this high with the M&P.
