SPRINGFIELD, Mass., (October 2, 2019) – Smith & Wesson Inc. announced today that it has introduced the M&P M2.0 Subcompact pistol to its M&P M2.0 pistol series. The latest addition to the M2.0 family, the M&P M2.0 Subcompact pistol features a smaller, subcompact frame that’s ideal for concealed carry. With a 12+1 round capacity in 9mm, the M&P M2.0 Subcompact pistol series includes the full array of M&P M2.0 enhancements. Available in 9mm, 40 S&W, and 45 Auto, the M&P M2.0 Subcompact joins the existing Full Size and Compact pistol options that are available in the M2.0 line.

Still have and carry the M&P Gen. 1 9C. New generation, but same gun. I don't see much news here, other than S&W trying to capitalize on the market for guns in the 10 - 12 round magazine capacity. To me, S&W missed the mark... the competition (SIG P365 and the new Springfield gun) are significantly slimmer, which clearly is a help with concealed carry. If S&W released a re-engineered Shield that allows for a real double-stack magazine and maintains the slimness, THAT would be something new.

After I posted this I saw the Gen1 9C and realized the "new" subcompact was basically the same gun.
S&W had perfect opportunity when they came out with the Performance Center 4" barrel Shield to do something more innovative like increase magazine capacity. An extended 10 round magazine wouldn't have been that much longer.

So basically, they’ve come out with a G26 with a +2 pinky-rest magazine extension......


Sorry....the devil made me do it.


Not sorry.

You are right, TAM. Just like the Glock, except the M&P is a real pistol for real men.

...real men who don't own 1911's in .45ACP. Guilty as charged....although I did see a couple of S&W Performance Center 1911's at the NRA Expo that called out to me.

Triggered?

I'm so confused. I have Glocks and a Colt 1911 and carry either of them depending on circumstances.
