How about a M&p shield plus vs m&p supcompact more or less a WHY??
Is this gun difficult to rack? What about recoil?
M&Ps are tops in my book. Can’t beat em all around. Not a must, but for 100$ an Apex trigger makes this among the best triggers on the market as well. The answer to the title is…Yes.
Hate glocks. Will always choose SW. screw Austria. USA made or bust
Adding to the nomenclature confusion, if you go to your gunshop to buy a spare magazine for your M2.0 Compact, the magazine package labeling says "Mid-Size" 15rd 9 mm. No past or current M&P pistol is designated "Mid-Size". So the Mid-Size mag fits the 2.0 Compact, the 2.0 SubCompact (with sleeve), and the 1.0 Compact (sticks out, but makes an excellent 15rd back up mag). Also the slimmer M&P Shield series is more compact than the 2.0 SubCompact (without magazine compatibility). So is the Shield series SubSubCompact or Micro?
I’m surprised his shield rusted because i thought m&p’s were stainless slides?
I already own a p365 and a Ruger LCP. I cc both depending on what I’m wearing, where I’m going, and the weather outside. I’ve really wanted one of these M&P 2.0sc’s as a more shootable cc option for a while now. Especially for use in the colder months when I’m wearing more layers of clothing. Is it strange to rotate 3 different guns for cc? Well, we have more than 3 options on what clothing we choose to wear…
Just a thought…
Find the pistol that: 1) fits your hand well, 2) fits your needs, and 3) is very shootable for YOU (caliber / controlability / accuracy).
If it doesnt fit, you can’t be confident in your shooting. If you cant keep rounds on target in a defensive situation the gun isnt going to protect you.
So here it is 2 years later, and our valiant YouTuber who loves Glock so much… and buys his Mom an S&W Shield EZ for Mother’s Day lol.
Made in the USA that’s good enough for me.
I wanna know if the 2.0 SubCompact 9mm grippier backstrap will fit the 1.0 Compact 9mm. Only thing my 1.0 Compact needs is a grippier texture. I don’t like the ghetto cheap look of grip tape.
Your right it is confusing. The names makes more sense with the 2.0. I do like the idea behind the 365 and the Hellcat however tiny guns don’t fit my hand well.
I had the gen1 mp compact 40sw with 9mm conversion barrel and that thing failed constantly with everything. one of my worse guns ever!
Either S&W is hiding something or they’re advertising morons. I cannot find out if the M&P 9’s are +P compatible!!!!! Everywhere it says 9mm luger in the specs sheet. My assumption would be if they’re advertising it as military and police THEN they should advertise that its +P as well. No?
Two years later and I still want one. Seems the world forgot about it but still looks great.
4:52 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
⬆️⬆️⬆️ thanks to the name above my Gmail who helps me with my handgun…
How does the M&P 2.0 compact compare to the Ruger security 9 sub compact?
Do the 2.0 pistols now come with that new end plate on the back of the slide?
The Hellcat and P365 don’t come in 40ca.
I’m tired of all these new "compact" and "subcompact" mouse guns that hold 6 rounds or 8 rounds and barely has any barrel. I want to see new long slide guns. I want a 10" barrel glock that can hold 33 rounds in the grip. Just extend that grip an extra 4-5"… hell, give us 12" of grip… I want a gun that you can see on a belt and say "Godammit, that’s freedom…"
Ive carried a 9c since 2010or 11. I like the pistol but the trigger is horrible. I need to go apex foward set sear or see if there is another kit. Sadly overwatch doesn’t make one for the 1.0. It’s also really heavy for its size.
I have 2 M&P9c and a M&P9 Compact 2.0 all three have Apex Duty triggers. The two M&P9c are set with crimson trace grips due to my 55 year old eyes. I really have enjoyed them for many years. At times I carry my main M&P9c with my 15rd mag from the M&P Compact 2.0 with a +6 Floyd’s Custom’s mag extension giving a wonderful small M&P9c that has a very nice Apex trigger, a red laser, trijicon low light sights and 21 rounds of 9mm. In WA. I have a coat on more times then not so I’m good. I enjoyed your review. And this video has me thinking about getting the new subcompact 2.0. Maybe I will try the new Timney M&P Competition trigger on it. But it may end up being to light for carry. Thank you again for the work you do.
I have large hands and the Sig P365 is so damn tiny in my hand i have a hard time shooting good groups. So, yes….subcompacts have a place in the current market.
A lot of reviews of Micro Sub Compact guns have shooters shooting to the left. You shot this gun on center. I think that size is to small for many hands. This gun is for bigger hands.
Will a TLR7 fit on its baby rail section?
Solid. But I’ll still pick the vp9sk any day.
Goofball
You have a briefcase?
It’s nice but it would be better if Smith and Wesson made it an eighth of an inch shorter and just a little narrower.
Pearce extension said they were going to make a pinky extension for the S&W compact really the SC and never did!
What I like about the M&P M2.0 Subcompact and the Glock 26 is that they can use the magazines from their larger brothers. The ideal situation at home is to have the full-size gun (M&P 2.0 or Glock 17) as a bedside gun with a light. Then, as a backup, at another location, the subcompact model, with a full-size mag as a backup. The smaller gun is then also perfect for concealed carry. And, for total security, have another gun (same caliber) in the garage in a hidden, locked singe gun safe, in case you come home and don’t have a pistol on you. and you suspect there might be a problem (is that paranoid?).
Top Tier pick for lefties as it’s ambidextrous.
Basically toss a coin on these. Great track record of reliability, accuracy and durability for both.
Absolutely love my M&P Compact 2.0. Still my favorite gun, range gun. Didn’t know they made a subcompact. For Carry purpose, I just went with the new Shield Plus.. Sold the Hellcat which was nice, but Square grip was uncomfortable overall and a little too heavy. 365, too skinny of a grip. Guess I’m a Smith & Wesson M&P fan now because of the shield and that 2.0 compact. Just awesome feeling guns, shooting guns, even look pretty decent.
Don’t think they are obsolete at all. I have a hellcat and have shot a 365 and they are just not as shootable and confidence inspiring as the subs. Y’all can keep your micro 9’s
I find the gun to be a good balance of shootability with carry comfort. You can also improve capacity with 15 and 17 round mags.
Great review. Your simple and effective range setup gives me great hope to one day have such a nice range of my own.
I wonder if you have an opinion regarding shoot ability as compared to the 4 in compact that you mentioned at the beginning of the video
“You smell what I’m stepping in” yo this the second quote I’m taking from you to use once again. Keep it up bro
As long as Law Enforcement carries the “Full/Compact Sizes” there will always be a place for “Sub Compacts”
Bought this gun today
Actually, this is just the polymer reincarnation of the S&W Model 69. This was a 3.5" barrel, 12-round subcompact that could take Model 59 15-round mags. Same idea. Actually, Mec-Gar makes 17-round mags for the 59 series. So, we have EXACTLY the same situation.
Did I just hear a cat person making fun of 45 shooters?
That AARP joke was awesome 👌
Aaaaaaalmost close to getting that AARP, scratch that AMAC card!
The Smith & Wesson always beats the Glock Glocks don’t shoot certain ammo very good and you have to rebuild them when you buy them and their overpriced
Get some devcon on that mag sleeve, (take care to not glue mag base on), and you can do that grip extension. But yes not needed when the main grip is still good. If you can use a MAC 10 without complaining about the grip being just a box magazine, shouldnt be any complaints about gripping exposed magazine below the SC grip.
I have a Glock 43x and a hellcat pro. I also have very large hands and I realized I’m not a fan of the micro 9 movement. I’m going to check this out and a Glock 26. The width and the front to back length makes it more comfortable for my hands.
My m&p 2.0 Subcompact is the reason i havent made a transition to micro compacts. The thickness and heft really dont bother me enough to swap out the gun and all the holsters ive accumulated specific to it.
