I shot the 2.0 compact last week in 9 and .40, as well at the full size 2.0 in .45...
Initial impressions? I owned a 1.0 in .40, just never did like it. added apex parts and the trigger was still mush. The 2.0 is MUCH better in the trigger department. the compacts are no exception. The 9 was a dream to shoot and very accurate. Granted, we shot at 7 yards. But offhand one hole groups were very doable at that range. The size is just a perfect sweet spot for my hand. I currently carry a 26 concealed or a 17 for exposed duty. I never was a huge 19 fan... But the 2.0 compact is just right for my hands. Too bad its not on our approved duty carry list.
The .40 was accurate, but much more of a handful. I have carried .40 as a duty gun in the past, and have never been bothered by recoil. While the .40 I certainly shootable, when shot side by side with the 9mm, it just was not as much fun for sure. Same with the full size .45... I can shoot it and control it just fine. But I kept thinking to myself, "so much more size, weight and recoil for only 10 rounds"... they were OK, but I was not ready to buy one.
After shooting the 2.0 compact in 9, I want one.
I can only hope they improved the finish. My old 1.0 and my wife's Shield and both prone to rusting is you look at them wrong. Other than that, the compact will sell in great numbers.

Might snap one up for the wife for Christmas.

Boy, I said I wasn't going to be a beta tester, but this is really calling my name... Add to the fact that S&W has a $50 military rebate, and the mags and ammo rebate going right now, and I'd be getting these for $369 each with 5 mags per gun. mighty tempting...
Thanks for the heads up! Snagged one this morning.
Any thoughts on this vs. the G19 Gen 5 if you've shot one? I'm torn between that and this.My sentiments are the same, except about the 19 sized pistols, they are my preferred weapon of choice both on and off duty.

Thanks a lot! Now I've got another gun inbound that I didn't know I needed.

Does the 4 1/4" barrel of the full-size M&P9 2.0 fit and function in the compact M&P9 2.0?
