DESCRIPTION

The Shield 2.0 with an aggressive Grip texture for enhanced control, new crisp 2.0 trigger with a lighter trigger pull, and a tactile and audible trigger reset with an extremely thin profile & lightweight make it an excellent choice for carry. This gun can be disassembled without depressing the trigger using the M&P’s patented take-down lever design. Comes with 3-dot sight for fast target acquisition. Striker fired design ensures positive function and a consistent trigger pull.

I've been looking at these as replacement to my glock 19. Dump the glock grip angle with something much better and the price is nice.

The Shield or the Compact?

The recently released Compact 2.0 is supposed to be very similar in size to the G19.

Compact. When they go on sale, gonna pick one up. Don't rib me but I want the one with the safety.

To each his own.

I've been a fan of the M&P line for a while, but I can't stand the thumb safety they put on the Compact and the Full size versions.

My Shield had the safety and I kinda liked it. I always thought they should switch to the Shield type safety on the other models.

This is the first I've seen or heard of the Shield 2.0 actually existing. It's way overpriced, IMO, but maybe pricing will come down to reality after they've been out a little while.

 

[steelfingers]

I was wrong. Not the compac but the M&P M2.0. I think the price is pretty good and has a new trigger.

 

[steelfingers]

Wait. Price is a bit much. Must have been looking at the wrong price.

Apparently there is a model with an integrated CrimsonTrace laser.

A Shield with 7 rd mag is same height as a G19. It's a little less than an inch shorter. The Shield is notably thinner; its around 0.960" vs 1.140" BUT the G19 holds 2X the ammo. IMO a Shield is more of a 15 yd gun while the G19 is a 25+ yd center hit zone machine. Both have their place.

And the shield is a heavy beast for what it offers for sure...
