The M&P Shield M2.0 with Thumb Safety builds upon the success of the best-selling M&P Shield pistol line through notable enhancements, including the M&P M2.0 crisp trigger with lighter trigger pull, a tactile and audible trigger reset, and aggressive grip texture for enhanced control. Those familiar with the M&P Shield product line will recognize the familiar, slim profile and 18-degree grip angle for a natural point of aim. The M&P Shield M2.0 pistol series features a 3.1” barrel, and ships with one standard and one extended grip magazine.
Been shooting a Glock 43. Didn't like the feel in my hand and especially didn't like the trigger pull. Decided to try this Smith & Wesson model. From the very first shot I could tell a major difference. It felt so much better. I love this pistol.
All the gun reviews and the S&W web site highlight the improvements of the M2.0 and I had high expectations that this gun would be noticeably better than my first generation Shield. It was not. It is reliable and accurate but the trigger felt no better than the older Shield. To me the real star of the Shield pistols is the Shield 45. The trigger and reset on that gun is much, much better than my first generation 9mm or this M2.0 .40. My 45 outperforms my 9mm and the M2.0 .40 - go with the 45.
