New Smith & Wesson M&P9 Shield 2.0 On The Way

Joe_Pike · October 16, 2017, 10:29 AM

This is from Brownell's 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."

Time to start selling those $250 Shields you bought to pick up the new one.

The fullsize 2.0's have been out for a while. The compact was just released (ive got one on now). The compact is no where near the size of a Shield. It splits the difference between the old compact and the fullsize. EXACTLY the size of a Glock 19.

Opps!!!... just read your post again. The 2.0 SHIELD!!!

Meh, I like the texture on the original and if I want a better trigger I'll pick up an Apex trigger.

No way! It's totally new and 500% improved! A company wouldn't market something as new if it weren't completely new!!!

I'm sure it'll be a nice gun, though.

I believe OhioGuy was throwing out a little sarcasm.

I think quite a few of the 1.0's got the 2.0 trigger, mine included. Won't know for certain until the 2.0's come out though.

The 2.0 trigger is a complete redesign. Not just a better feeling 1.0

racedawg · October 16, 2017, 04:40 PM

Ok...see if they have 2.0....45

How do you know you have the 2.0 trigger in the 1.0 Shield?

From what I understand it is a bit different design.

And the 2.0 9 and 40 are the same as the 1.0 45???

brian33x51 · October 16, 2017, 10:38 PM

Okay so can't be if a diff design. The trigger in my shield has a very crisp break and a very clean and auduble reset. I know video reviews of older shields showed a false reset at best. I've seen someone also claim that his new 9mm shield's trigger felt the same as his 45 shield. So only taking wild guesses about how the new manuf shiel trigger seems so different from the older ones.

O4L · October 17, 2017, 12:01 AM

Looks like there are a few different options including an integrated laser.

Mine was $215 new from PSA (after rebate).

I don't think the new version will offer anything that will offset the difference in price from my rebate gun.

vba · October 17, 2017, 02:14 PM

I'll wait for the 3.0 .

shafter · October 17, 2017, 02:17 PM

Price had a lot to do with why I bought my Shield. For the money they're a great little gun. If I want bigger I'll stick with a Glock 19 or 23.

racedawg · October 17, 2017, 03:52 PM

Good time to pick up a 1.0 shield...always like my trigger to little heavy...that way no accident s

Sounds like a good CCW pistol.

racedawg · October 19, 2017, 11:07 AM

I do have to agree with this, at least the first part. As much as I like the aggressive grip texture on my new 2.0 Compact, I think it's a little too rough and "sticky" for a gun meant for deep concealment under a t-shirt and possibly against bare skin. It literally feels like 80-grit sandpaper.

I also noticed the Springfield XDM's coming down in price. I'm sure there will be a XDM 2.0 to compete with the new Smiths and Gen 5 Glocks.

otasan · October 23, 2017, 10:04 AM

I wonder what are the factors involved that determine pistol prices?
