M&P 2.0 Compact - S&W's G19 ?

[Bucky]

I was disappointed that the CTC Lasergrips for the M&P supposedly don't fit the 2.0 and there aren't plans to offer them. This would apply to the full size models. Hopefully they come out with one for them and the compact.

Didn't S&W buy CTC? I can't imagine them not offering them eventually.

S&W still putting the locks in the revolvers, correct ?

Correct. Of course, the lock has absolutely nothing to do with the "deal" mentioned earlier. The lock is annoying, but is not part of a larger betrayal of the American gun owner.

Don't think size is the only factor here but it doesn't hurt. I won't be much interested in the 2.0 Compact due to the fully tensioned striker and no SCD, but I do hope it is a successful pistol.

I was considering adding another glock but this has encouraged me to hold on to my funds. Once this has been out a little while it may be my next purchase.

I'm in the same boat. I was going to take a good look at the G19-5, but this makes me reconsider.

Gen 3 G19 versus original M&P FS

Grip chop to the new mag length is going to be really close to a G19 sized pistol.

Interesting idea of the grip chop. Can that be done reasonably on the M&P with the replaceable back strap securing method they use? I don't have a M&P to check it out but from memory I thought the system to secure backstraps came down to the lowest point at the rear of the grip.

I am about 3/4 of the way through doing mine, and the back strap will not be interchangeable. I will have to cut off and glue the pin in.

Thanks for clarifying. I hope you will share some pictures when you finish.

I was searching for a glue that would be somewhat color matched, and I think JB Quickweld will be black enough. Just the project stalled a little, but it will be winter soon enough
