Just picked one of these up an hr ago. My first firearm and this seemed like a great all around gun for home defense, target practice or to carry in the future if needed. It was between this and the glock 19 which you included in the video. This feels better in my hand which is what ultimately made my decision. Thanks for the review!
Jessie Castro I’m not too sure but they may not make a California compliant version of this gun. I live in Ohio and have the M2.0 compact 9mm that holds 15+1. In California I believe you guys are limited to ten rounds in a magazine?
@@ohiobassangler8781 thanks bud! I did my research and it turns out there is a very little amount of handguns that are California compliant, and you're right. Limited to 10+1 in Cali... Need to move ASAP!
Great review. I just recently switched from the Glock 22 to the S&W M&P .40 M2.0 for duty use and shoot the M&P way better than I ever shot my Glock. Even just screwing around, I shoot better on an IPSC target than I have ever done on my best qualification run with the G22. The only pistol I shoot better with is the 1911. I'd certainly have no reservations getting a compact M&P in 9mm for concealed carry. Just a note for those who care. The slide stop really shouldn't be used to release the slide on a mag change and isn't even designed to do so. The proper, more efficient and reliable method, is to bring the support hand down on top of the slide at the rear to mid-point grasping it with all four fingers and the heel of the hand, rack it violently to the rear and release it so the slide travels forward at full velocity. This is so it can reliably strip the first round from a full, tightly loaded magazine and feed it into the chamber without hanging up. Trying to use fine motor skills while your bacon is about to drop into the fire could cause you to lose precious time making you Runner-up, which is no place to be in a self-defense event.
The bloopers at the end are always a favorite part of your videos, not just because they're funny but because they show how much effort put in to produce and edit the main video. Appreciate it buddy!
Literally the best gun reviewer on RUclips. Evevry video is solid and consistent. "The(insert gun name) lets check it out", shows loading mags...then shows shooting at great camera angles. Excellent work
Love this gun! I've been begging S&W to make this gun since 2005. I never could figure out why they chose not to even compete with the world's most popular handgun -- the Glock 19 -- for more than a decade. It just didn't make sense! Thankfully they've finally decided to do so, and I got mine!
I purchased my full size M&P9 M2.0 with a 4.25 in barrel ,and 2 17 round magazines for $409. Full size but it's not some giant gun. Fairly compact for a full size pistol. Only slightly bigger than the compact version. Maybe not as concealable but a super comfortable shooting gun.
Best review of this model I've seen. Camera work on the break down was sharp and clear. I ordered this gun about 2 hours before watching this video. I think I made a good choice. Thanks for your time and effort in the review. It really helps.
I think it's better if the grip is too aggressive from the factory. It's easier to sand down the grip if you don't like it, than to have someone stipple it if you need something more aggressive.
Been seen plenty of review and comparisons on this gun and every time I am more convinced that this will be my 1st gun purchase. You really made your review easy with the output of information you provided. So Thank you. Great job.
2.0 compact is the perfect sized handgun in my opinion. 4 inch barrel for accuracy at the range and home defense. Excellent features for the price point. I'm just an average shooter, my groups are tight at 7 - 15 yards. 20-25 yards I can still hit center mass. 500 rounds of different ammo through mine and zero malfunctions. Hard to beat at the 310 I paid for mine new. They're much more expensive now.
What a great video. I purchased my S&W M&P 2.0 for $369 a few years ago and it's my favorite handgun to shoot and I carry it in my car everywhere I go.
It’s a 10 for me. I always wear a T shirt and a shirt so no issues on the grip. Love the tactile grip and the accuracy of the gun. Lastly, those palm swells make a huge difference on your grip, unlike Glocks. Great gun, and I would add that you get more of a gun with Smith and Wesson than Glock with those cheap sights, which most everyone swaps out for an extra $100.
I guess I've never had a problem with S&W m&p triggers. They aren't the best I've ever used, but not even close to the worst. Reliability is what I'm interested in. So far the m&p line has never made me question it. They feel great, shoot great, built great, and are reliable.. not to mention made right here in my favorite place, the good ol' USA! I chose to put food on American tables when I can... It's getting harder and harder to do.
I have a first generation Shield and some say the trigger stinks on it, but I manage to put good groupings together without much fuss. Very serious about getting one of these as I love the Shield and it's a S&W so I'm confident that it will last. The one time I ever needed to use their warranty service I was impressed with what they did to correct my 622 that was having issues going into battery, stove piping, and failing to always eject. They put a master gunsmith on it and he signed off that the gun was fixed. That was 25 years ago and I've shot thousands of rounds through it since without a hiccup which is very good considering 22 ammo isn't always the most robust or consistent in quality. A company that truly backs up their products is hard to find these days.
And if you train the trigger becomes irrelevant. Shot some really sloppy triggers back in the day, but the more I trained with it the trigger became irrelevant as long as I stayed with the fundamentals... GOD Bless and good shooting..
I purchased the M&P M2.0 9mm Compact with the 3.6" barrel and just absolutely love her. She replaced my Gen1 S&W Model 59 9mm from 1971 as my EDC... Sonya at CrossBreed Holsters took care of my IWB needs with their "Reckoning" model and a new belt while I was at it. I'm running concealed with the spacers on my 17rd magazine and there's still no printing but certainly there's a fuller hand. Enjoyed the video Good Sir and keep up the great work.
Because of this video I purchased the m9 9mm yesterday. I've carried a colt 1911 45 all my life however since turning 70 years of age I just wasn't comfortable shooting 45 cal because of recoil I love this mp 9mm and it is fitted with a laser green dot from the factory. Big thumbs up
sootch00 Hey Sootch! Hey Everybody!!! The new M&P 2.0 compact looks almost as sweet as My delicious instant banana bread muffin mix made fresh from the oven! Who whoooo whoo whoooo!
I've had the full size m&P 9 for about 4 or 5 years now. I was always a Beretta carrier but since getting this gun I am really happy with it. My brother has the compact and the only problem I saw with that is the pinky finger pressure is sometimes enough to foul a load with the extended magazine. Definitely a good gun for everyday use. Thank you for the review and your thoughts.
I have always thought the M&P series are great looking guns and I always handle them when I go to a gun shop, but I cannot add another platform to what I own. But if I did it would be some M&Ps. Great video as always. John
I have the M&P 2.0 compact in 9mm and .40SW and I absolutely love em both!!! Both are in my EDC rotation. The only upgrade they have is the Apex Carry/Duty Enhancement Kit. My 9 has over 2000 rounds of range and self defense ammo thru her with ZERO problems. I recently got the 40 and she has about 500 rounds of range and self defense ammo thru her with, again, ZERO problems. I sold my Glock 23 Gen3 to get the 2.0 40 lol. I highly recommend this platform for EDC.
I own this gun already and it has some Hang-Ups I don't know if it was because it wasn't well-greased but dry as it came with dry ammo every time I tried to cock the gun slowly or at a medium speed it would hang up the 9 mm
I love this gun. I was contemplating between a Glock 19 gen 5 and this gun and you’re damn right I went with this M&P. It looks far way better than the Glock. I have the canik tp9sf elite and love just as much, but the all black on this M&P, the looks, and the gun itself makes it my favorite.
Sootch is dead on with this one! Just got back from the range with mine. Love it! The rough finish is no problem shooting as I had thought it might be....he is dead on with wanting to wear an undershirt between you and the gun if you are going IWB.
I bought one about 2 months ago, and yes, it is a fine handgun! But I keep going back to the CZ P-07 for EDC. I own Glocks, M&P's, and only one CZ, the P-07. The P-07 is just magic, and safe.
I've had my M&P 2.0 9mm for 2 years now. Not one malfunction. I love it. Got a glock 21 gen 3 for about 3 years with only a couple of malfunction but i like glocks to. Great review
This the only striker fired gun I own. The Grip is perfect, and I changed out the sights for Tru Glo night sights. I like the trigger and the gun is accurate. This is a great gun and a great value with a life time warranty.
Just picked one up and I absolutely LOVE it!!! Yes I am a glock fan and usually carry my 19 but now my glock is going to sit in my safe for well....a while. This gun in my opinion rocks!! I had the money and choice between this gun and the gen 5 glock 19 and I am glad I got this one for sure!!! Could not justify spending more money on the new glock when its not really different then my gen 3 glock 19. again just my opinion.
This is the one guy without a long filthy beard, inked all over, wearing a Shemagh (Arab scarf), 5.11 clothing (to look "tactical") that presents outstanding firearms reviews and assessments worthy of watching. For that, he doesn't even use foul language! What a man! Keep on rolling, sir! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for this great review Sootch ! I was back and forth between guns and this review helped me make my decision and I just purchased my Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact!! Thanks again!!
Nice review man.I am a Glock guy and carried a Glock 19 for years.Bought this M&P Compact 2.0 and now I carry it instead of the Glock 19.I instantly shot better with it and felt so much better in the hand.I guess I'm a S&W M&P guy now as well
I really like this Smith & Wesson. I have had it for about 6 months and runs flawless. Sootch00 really helped me on this decision. Could not be happier. I was able to buy mine for $400.00 on a hot deal from Academy Sports.
I bought mine used and came with 3 back straps. I would have never known that the back straps were marked with size as you pointed out. I ordered black rubber Talon grips for my gun to stop those needles from poking my hand and I carry. Great video. Thanks
Been considering my first pistol purchase and have compared the M&P Compact to the G19 and the Walther PDP Compact on the range. I loved the look and feel of the M&P, and I was really impressed with the recoil control. I appreciate your detailed review. Solidifies my decision. 👍
Well done. You said "Watch other videos". This is my 3rd video about this gun and by far the best and most informative. I appreciate the thorough review, everything from what's in the case, to gun features, disassembly, reassembly, and firing. I like the links to sites to buy ammo and targets too. Thanks
I'm a fella with big hands, and my prior EDC pistol was a glock 22 with a polyer80 lower (genuine austrian glock upper, i had the p80 lower as a test and because i liked the aggressive grip stippling compared to OEM glock.) i switched to the M&P40 M2.0 compact and use the Medium Large backstrap, and i couldn't be happier.
I would also like to add. Smith & Wesson was the first ever pistol i've ever actually EDC'd, it was a S&W 5906, and i gotta say, Smith & Wesson makes WONDERFUL firearms.
I always figured you were just like me; you genuinely love firearms and shooting. I'd be hard pressed to find anything that I absolutely hate. Everything has pros and cons for sure, and this is all very subjective; what I love, others may not, etc.
This was my first gun... purchased last June. Will never leave my collection. May not get carried much due to my Sig p365, Hellcat and S & W Shield but it's my home defense weapon
They're making the 2.0 Compact with a flat face trigger now too. It's really nice. The grip is perfect for those of us in the south where we are sweating heavily at the range. That grip I imagine is great in case an attacker is trying to get the gun from you.
I bought the 40 cal because 40 S&W ammo is easier to get. Now I have 2 more. I have the 9c in both compact 4" and subcompact. It's SWEET! Nice to see another female gun lover.
Your review of the S&W M&P9c M2.0 is spot on in my opinion! Its mighty hard to find negative things to say about something when there just aren't many, if any, about which ever gun you're testing. This gun is a gem to me! I'd eventually like to upgrade my trigger to an Apex trigger and even toyed with the thought of getting one of their match grade barrels just for fun, because I definately do not think its required by any means. I bought mine the 1st day of the new year 2018 because it had all of the improvements I wanted over their original 9c. 4" barrel, 15 round magazines (love those!) for carry and use 17 round mags for back up and range using the 2 spacers which I like so much I ordered more from S&W to use on additional mags when practicing at the range! Its very accurate for me. I actually got rid of my Shield 9 sfter several years. I never liked the accuracy that *I* experienced with it, although It was good enough to get me through several levels of training at the sherriffs office gun range during classes I took, but at 9 rounds max i wanted more on the street, and I really had to work hard during the training classes i took with it because the number of shots required to be fired for each level meant a reload and resume firing in the same time everyone else had with full sized guns and 17 rounds lol but I made it, and wanted to make it with my carry gun. But while my shield was easier to carry, I Love my MP9C M2.0 in every way, it inspires much more confidence with its additional round capacity, and I hit much better with less effort than I could with my Shield. Great review! You know, for some reason i thought you went by "Scootch" on youtube, but at 61 maybe I'm starting to slip...smh
Carried for two days and pulled the Dremel tool out and sanded down the back strap. Not only does it rub on your skin but it grabs your shirts. It’s hard to conceal if your garments all grab and stick on the grip. I took about half the stippling off and it’s still a good grip but doesn’t give you a rash and hang up all the material that comes in contact with it.
I'm thinking this will be the Glock GEN 3 killer because everyone already has one or two. Time for something new or begone with the roster all together
My wife and I went to the range today with her 9 Shield EZ and my 2.0 Compact. She was not shooting as well as usual so I handed her the Compact and said, "Shoot this for a while". Being a different trigger she was unfamiliar with, she shot very well again... couldn't anticipate the break on the trigger... however, after 3 magazines she was complaining about the grip texture being too rough (I don't notice it so I didn't think about that). @Sootch00 -- You reviewed both guns and everything you said about the two pistols was spot on. Subscribed. Nice work.
I agree the Apex kit is superior to the stock trigger, but the 2.0 trigger is perfectly adequate, and actually very good after about 500rds. Which is the minimum I put a new handgun through before even considering it for carry.
Irish Rover a good carry gun doesn’t need a break in period to function flawlessly. Stop buying tight-toleranced gun safe queens like 1911s and nothing needs to be broken in.
I’ve had the exact same gun but in the full-size for about a year now. Loving it! Took a little time to get used to the trigger, but stacking rounds now.
I've carried a first gen M&P45 since 2009 on duty. When the slide is locked back, it auto-forwards every time I insert a magazine. It's a flaw, but it does it every time, so it makes for a nice, fast mag change because I don't have to manipulate the slide or slide stop. I purchased my own 2.0 9mm compact a few years ago and despite the "extended chassis" and spring loaded detent on the slide stop, it still auto-forwards, but it does so less reliably than my duty pistol. I called Smith and they agreed that this shouldn't happen. I sent it in for work, they kept it a month, said nothing was wrong with it and sent it back. When I called to ask why they didn't address the issue, the rep basically told me that this can happen with a polymer pistol and that I'm causing the problem by inserting the magazine too aggressively. Seriously, that's what they said. The only pistols that do this are my duty pistol and my 2.0. My Shield 2.0 doesn't do it and neither does my Bodyguard .380. I like the pistol and the way it shoots, but I will not carry a pistol for defense that I can't trust. I used to be hard core pro-Smith, but now I'm done with them. Just a friendly heads up to anyone that's considering this pistol.
I found the trigger on the 2.0 compact to be pretty good, Id say it's comparable to the glock, It's just that the hinged shoe design makes it feel odd. I also shot my p10c side by side with the 2.0c and found that though the trigger is definitely better on the p10, The m&p 2.0 compact is the flatter shooting pistol. Just my opinion.
Thanks for sharing this observation. Would you say, then, that a 2.0c with an upgraded trigger that was comparable to P-10c's would then be an overall better shooting gun than the P-10c? At least for yourself?
Paul Stella I would say if you put an apex in the 2.0 compact, you have a damn near perfect carry pistol. The controls are all much more smoother than the p10c right out of the box. The mag release, the slide stop, all much more easier to use. When you push the mag release the mag comes flying out of the bottom. The CZ fruitcakes are going to hate me saying this but I think the m&p 2.0c is the best new polymer pistol of 2017, not the p10. If there was such thing as the “glock killer” it’s not the p10c. Also we are starting to see in the CZ groups people are finding stress fractures inside of the frame where the main trigger pin goes through. I’ve seen multiple examples of this happening. People just don’t see it till they take their pistol down. I haven’t got around to checking my p10c yet but it has about 1200 rounds through it and I’m definitely concerned.
Personally, all I did to mine was put in a flat faced Apex trigger shoe. I did not put in the trigger bar or any of the other springs or parts. In my opinion that was all it needed, it smoothed out the little bit of grittiness it had with the factory trigger. I have a full size 2.0 with a full Apex trigger kit in it and there is little difference between the two.
I heard so many great things about the S&W M2.0 both .40 and 9MM that I bought one (.40). I already have a 9MM Sig Mk25, so I wanted to go with the S&W .40. That way, I can cross train between the two calibers, and also get to know two different brands of handguns as a beginner shooter.
Barely accurate, m&p 2.0s are not worth more than hi-point. I haven't even gotten to 200 rounds and already my m&p 2.0 is malfunctioning. Failure to extract, failure to cycle, double feed & not to mention the slide kept locking up after each shot (mind you I'm using good quality ammo & oil like I do with my Caniks, Tisas or Sars, and runs like a clock). I've heard horror stories of the m&p literally blowing up with symptoms like this so therefore I have deemed this joke of a firearm unsafe & not recommend to anyone who doesn't like hot dangerous garbage.
I haven't been able to pin-point exactly why but every time I press out my M&P, I always have a perfect sight picture. This does not happen with other guns that I own. even though I practice with them. I think it has to do with the grip angle and fit on my hand. Great guns very accurate.
M&P applied a grip angle(20°) right between the Glock(18°) and 1911/browning/CZ(22°) . Being a CZ fan and shooter as my first pistol I found it easy and comfortable to adapt to the M&P as my issues sidearm and now I own 2 M&P’s . Combine their low bore axis and grip angle make the M&P one of the best and only beaten in my opinion by CZ pistols. While I still don’t like shooting Glocks for their angle. I admit Nothing wrong with glocks and they have proven their platform but just could never get used to. All personal choice
@@tburrows357 Most new guns are very similar and very reliable, that in order for us to pick a favorite, it comes down to very small differences such as a 2° angle on the grip, or 1/16th of an inch in the trigger take-up. 😀
@@tubero37 you are right. At the same time I love my FNX 9 for completely different reasons but it’s great. Honestly it’s just like cars. Many models all the same thing. But it’s nuisances that make one love or hate em

ugh look at the huge white warning text on the right side of the slide. yuck. HK did it best by printing that crap underneath the trigger guard.
I love the looks and the brand name. It looks more aggressive than Glock. Glock is smooth and solid.
It looks better than the Glock... but not as good as the Canik
Exactly! Just ordered my .40 version, should get it tomorrow!
@636lover1 the glocks look too boxie

Glocks are overrated. S&W has been making guns 150 years before Glock

@@ohiobassangler8781 thanks bud! I did my research and it turns out there is a very little amount of handguns that are California compliant, and you're right. Limited to 10+1 in Cali... Need to move ASAP!
Great review. I just recently switched from the Glock 22 to the S&W M&P .40 M2.0 for duty use and shoot the M&P way better than I ever shot my Glock. Even just screwing around, I shoot better on an IPSC target than I have ever done on my best qualification run with the G22. The only pistol I shoot better with is the 1911. I'd certainly have no reservations getting a compact M&P in 9mm for concealed carry.
Just a note for those who care. The slide stop really shouldn't be used to release the slide on a mag change and isn't even designed to do so. The proper, more efficient and reliable method, is to bring the support hand down on top of the slide at the rear to mid-point grasping it with all four fingers and the heel of the hand, rack it violently to the rear and release it so the slide travels forward at full velocity. This is so it can reliably strip the first round from a full, tightly loaded magazine and feed it into the chamber without hanging up. Trying to use fine motor skills while your bacon is about to drop into the fire could cause you to lose precious time making you Runner-up, which is no place to be in a self-defense event.
Good point. S&W magazines do get tight as you fully load them. Even the ones that have been used for some time get that way.
The bloopers at the end are always a favorite part of your videos, not just because they're funny but because they show how much effort put in to produce and edit the main video. Appreciate it buddy!
Literally the best gun reviewer on RUclips. Evevry video is solid and consistent. "The(insert gun name) lets check it out", shows loading mags...then shows shooting at great camera angles. Excellent work
Picked mine up for $439 a few weeks ago. Been carrying it every day. Great review Sootch!
Love this gun! I've been begging S&W to make this gun since 2005. I never could figure out why they chose not to even compete with the world's most popular handgun -- the Glock 19 -- for more than a decade. It just didn't make sense! Thankfully they've finally decided to do so, and I got mine!
I purchased my full size M&P9 M2.0 with a 4.25 in barrel ,and 2 17 round magazines for $409. Full size but it's not some giant gun. Fairly compact for a full size pistol. Only slightly bigger than the compact version. Maybe not as concealable but a super comfortable shooting gun.
Yes the MP 9 2.0 4.25 LE is the BEST Fire arm everyday congralutationns friend 👍🏼👏🤠🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Best review of this model I've seen. Camera work on the break down was sharp and clear. I ordered this gun about 2 hours before watching this video. I think I made a good choice. Thanks for your time and effort in the review. It really helps.
I think it's better if the grip is too aggressive from the factory. It's easier to sand down the grip if you don't like it, than to have someone stipple it if you need something more aggressive.
Andy agree completely! Give me the rough texture all day.
good point
Get a talon grip. Much better feel
Been seen plenty of review and comparisons on this gun and every time I am more convinced that this will be my 1st gun purchase. You really made your review easy with the output of information you provided. So Thank you. Great job.
2.0 compact is the perfect sized handgun in my opinion. 4 inch barrel for accuracy at the range and home defense. Excellent features for the price point. I'm just an average shooter, my groups are tight at 7 - 15 yards. 20-25 yards I can still hit center mass. 500 rounds of different ammo through mine and zero malfunctions. Hard to beat at the 310 I paid for mine new. They're much more expensive now.
I found a few for $400 . Still very good price. I was wondering if you dry fire at all? Will it damage the firing pin?
What a great video. I purchased my S&W M&P 2.0 for $369 a few years ago and it's my favorite handgun to shoot and I carry it in my car everywhere I go.
It’s a 10 for me. I always wear a T shirt and a shirt so no issues on the grip. Love the tactile grip and the accuracy of the gun. Lastly, those palm swells make a huge difference on your grip, unlike Glocks. Great gun, and I would add that you get more of a gun with Smith and Wesson than Glock with those cheap sights, which most everyone swaps out for an extra $100.
I'm not normally an S&W fan, but will give them credit. There's a lot to like about this gun, w/some neat features.
I guess I've never had a problem with S&W m&p triggers. They aren't the best I've ever used, but not even close to the worst. Reliability is what I'm interested in. So far the m&p line has never made me question it. They feel great, shoot great, built great, and are reliable.. not to mention made right here in my favorite place, the good ol' USA! I chose to put food on American tables when I can... It's getting harder and harder to do.
John W well said
Agreed. We've become little pansies when it comes to triggers. If you shoot the gun accurately then whats the problem?
Thanks
I have a first generation Shield and some say the trigger stinks on it, but I manage to put good groupings together without much fuss. Very serious about getting one of these as I love the Shield and it's a S&W so I'm confident that it will last. The one time I ever needed to use their warranty service I was impressed with what they did to correct my 622 that was having issues going into battery, stove piping, and failing to always eject. They put a master gunsmith on it and he signed off that the gun was fixed. That was 25 years ago and I've shot thousands of rounds through it since without a hiccup which is very good considering 22 ammo isn't always the most robust or consistent in quality. A company that truly backs up their products is hard to find these days.
And if you train the trigger becomes irrelevant. Shot some really sloppy triggers back in the day, but the more I trained with it the trigger became irrelevant as long as I stayed with the fundamentals... GOD Bless and good shooting..
I purchased the M&P M2.0 9mm Compact with the 3.6" barrel and just absolutely love her. She replaced my Gen1 S&W Model 59 9mm from 1971 as my EDC... Sonya at CrossBreed Holsters took care of my IWB needs with their "Reckoning" model and a new belt while I was at it. I'm running concealed with the spacers on my 17rd magazine and there's still no printing but certainly there's a fuller hand. Enjoyed the video Good Sir and keep up the great work.
I have both the 9mm and .40cal 2.0 compacts and a 9mm 2.0 shield. Love these fantastic pistols.
Because of this video I purchased the m9 9mm yesterday. I've carried a colt 1911 45 all my life however since turning 70 years of age I just wasn't comfortable shooting 45 cal because of recoil
I love this mp 9mm and it is fitted with a laser green dot from the factory. Big thumbs up
great review as always.
Thanks Mike! Always appreciated Brother
sootch00 sir.. i knocked the texture down with 800 grit automotive sandpaper. Worked awesome. Cant even tell i did anything
Mrgunsngear Channel now waiting on your review 🙄
Mrgunsngear Channel yes I agree, now waiting on mrgunsngear review!
sootch00 Hey Sootch! Hey Everybody!!! The new M&P 2.0 compact looks almost as sweet as My delicious instant banana bread muffin mix made fresh from the oven! Who whoooo whoo whoooo!
I've had the full size m&P 9 for about 4 or 5 years now. I was always a Beretta carrier but since getting this gun I am really happy with it. My brother has the compact and the only problem I saw with that is the pinky finger pressure is sometimes enough to foul a load with the extended magazine. Definitely a good gun for everyday use. Thank you for the review and your thoughts.
I have always thought the M&P series are great looking guns and I always handle them when I go to a gun shop, but I cannot add another platform to what I own. But if I did it would be some M&Ps. Great video as always. John
I have the M&P 2.0 compact in 9mm and .40SW and I absolutely love em both!!! Both are in my EDC rotation. The only upgrade they have is the Apex Carry/Duty Enhancement Kit. My 9 has over 2000 rounds of range and self defense ammo thru her with ZERO problems. I recently got the 40 and she has about 500 rounds of range and self defense ammo thru her with, again, ZERO problems. I sold my Glock 23 Gen3 to get the 2.0 40 lol. I highly recommend this platform for EDC.
Probably the most thorough review I have ever seen excellent 👍
Love mine, great gun. Mines the optic ready version. Mine has front serrations all the way up
$100 cheaper than a Glock and a LifeTime Warrantee, that's a good selling point!
I own this gun already and it has some Hang-Ups I don't know if it was because it wasn't well-greased but dry as it came with dry ammo every time I tried to cock the gun slowly or at a medium speed it would hang up the 9 mm
U got clean factory grease out an lube it good i got the 3.6 and its fone
Fine
And way better lookin.....
And made in the USA
Just bought one! Excellent gun! Great video! Paid 499 but with 3 15 rd mags and hard case, extra grips, good deal!!
Holy smokes what a neat offering from S&W. Great review as always, Sootch!
I love this gun. I was contemplating between a Glock 19 gen 5 and this gun and you’re damn right I went with this M&P. It looks far way better than the Glock. I have the canik tp9sf elite and love just as much, but the all black on this M&P, the looks, and the gun itself makes it my favorite.
Sootch is dead on with this one! Just got back from the range with mine. Love it! The rough finish is no problem shooting as I had thought it might be....he is dead on with wanting to wear an undershirt between you and the gun if you are going IWB.
the thing i like about this channel is that he shows exactly how the gun functions! thanks
Best presentation I’ve seen so far on the S&W Shield 2-0 !!
shield??????????????? sorry not shield but compact.
Just picked up the M2.0 in .40. This is a very informative video for someone who is a new SW MP owner. Thank you.
You really should be doing voice overs for Home Depot or Ace hardware. You'd make a shit load of money.
Lol! Thanks Sean.
I bought one about 2 months ago, and yes, it is a fine handgun! But I keep going back to the CZ P-07 for EDC. I own Glocks, M&P's, and only one CZ, the P-07. The P-07 is just magic, and safe.
Got mine at Academy today for $399/ with a $75 gift card. That made it $325' sweet. Tennessee
Jeff Carter I got mine last week for $399 plus 500 rounds included. Looks like we hit the jackpot.

I've had my M&P 2.0 9mm for 2 years now. Not one malfunction. I love it. Got a glock 21 gen 3 for about 3 years with only a couple of malfunction but i like glocks to. Great review
How do you like the trigger ? It’s the only negative I’ve read in this piece
Best , by far COMPLETE review... Awesome jobs !!!
This the only striker fired gun I own. The Grip is perfect, and I changed out the sights for Tru Glo night sights. I like the trigger and the gun is accurate. This is a great gun and a great value with a life time warranty.
Just picked one up and I absolutely LOVE it!!! Yes I am a glock fan and usually carry my 19 but now my glock is going to sit in my safe for well....a while. This gun in my opinion rocks!! I had the money and choice between this gun and the gen 5 glock 19 and I am glad I got this one for sure!!! Could not justify spending more money on the new glock when its not really different then my gen 3 glock 19. again just my opinion.
@Nikola Tesla would you recommend for a first gun?
If you hadn't already had a glock 19, would you have gone with the M&P over the Gen 5 G19?

@@hectorortiz8633 Tell us all about your experience...
Thanks for this great review Sootch ! I was back and forth between guns and this review helped me make my decision and I just purchased my Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact!! Thanks again!!
I got one when they were first released. Carry every day and like it a lot better than my 19.
S&W is definitely coming into it's own in the Semi Auto Pistol category. Thanks Jason!
Same
blasphemy
Anything specific for you that makes it better then the 19? I carry a 19, so I'm interested.
Or is it just personal likability/shootability for you?
Joe Morrell I carry a 27 and honestly I don't like it because it only has the trigger safety.
Nice review man.I am a Glock guy and carried a Glock 19 for years.Bought this M&P Compact 2.0 and now I carry it instead of the Glock 19.I instantly shot better with it and felt so much better in the hand.I guess I'm a S&W M&P guy now as well
I really like this Smith & Wesson. I have had it for about 6 months and runs flawless. Sootch00 really helped me on this decision. Could not be happier. I was able to buy mine for $400.00 on a hot deal from Academy Sports.
My EDC is the 1st gen M&P.40c ❤ I love it, been carrying it every day for about 15yrs. S&W got it right!
Sootch, you should do a video on proper pistol grip......you shoot rapid fire like a boss.
I bought mine used and came with 3 back straps. I would have never known that the back straps were marked with size as you pointed out. I ordered black rubber Talon grips for my gun to stop those needles from poking my hand and I carry. Great video. Thanks
That S&W makes that Glock look even uglier than they normally do hahaha
The SD9 was the prettier Glock.
Been considering my first pistol purchase and have compared the M&P Compact to the G19 and the Walther PDP Compact on the range. I loved the look and feel of the M&P, and I was really impressed with the recoil control. I appreciate your detailed review. Solidifies my decision. 👍
Great review brother. M&P has always been a great platform. This will be my next purchase.
Well done. You said "Watch other videos". This is my 3rd video about this gun and by far the best and most informative. I appreciate the thorough review, everything from what's in the case, to gun features, disassembly, reassembly, and firing. I like the links to sites to buy ammo and targets too. Thanks
I got the same gun it an excellent and beautiful M&P 9mm compact ...
just ordered one from buds for about 330 dollars,,in 40 cal,,,and this great video,, is one reason why,,,
buds?
Another thorough review. Will also watch this video on the other place. :)
I'm a fella with big hands, and my prior EDC pistol was a glock 22 with a polyer80 lower (genuine austrian glock upper, i had the p80 lower as a test and because i liked the aggressive grip stippling compared to OEM glock.) i switched to the M&P40 M2.0 compact and use the Medium Large backstrap, and i couldn't be happier.
I would also like to add. Smith & Wesson was the first ever pistol i've ever actually EDC'd, it was a S&W 5906, and i gotta say, Smith & Wesson makes WONDERFUL firearms.
Ah, yes...the good old days when we were actually able to buy ammo without taking out a second mortgage.
Been getting 1k rnds 9mm for around $300-350 nowadays. Still not as cheap as before but at least they are now readily available locally and online.
No one is forcing you to buy
@@briandaniel931 No one is forcing me to breath either, but shooting comes as natural to me as does breathing. Thanks for the advice.
I always figured you were just like me; you genuinely love firearms and shooting. I'd be hard pressed to find anything that I absolutely hate. Everything has pros and cons for sure, and this is all very subjective; what I love, others may not, etc.
You could serve dinner on the slide of the 320
Haha I know right !
Hahahahhahahah

This was my first gun... purchased last June. Will never leave my collection. May not get carried much due to my Sig p365, Hellcat and S & W Shield but it's my home defense weapon
Just picked one up for myself- it was between this and the glock 43. Glad I went with the m&p 2.0 for sure! Great review!
They're making the 2.0 Compact with a flat face trigger now too. It's really nice. The grip is perfect for those of us in the south where we are sweating heavily at the range. That grip I imagine is great in case an attacker is trying to get the gun from you.
Just bought me this sweet little piece today!
How do you like it so far Shawna? Do you iwb conceal carry it?
@@signsofthetimes886 she loves it. It's her favorite toy. Still trying to convince my wife to learn how to shoot. This be my next pistol.

Your review of the S&W M&P9c M2.0 is spot on in my opinion!
Its mighty hard to find negative things to say about something when there just aren't many, if any, about which ever gun you're testing. This gun is a gem to me! I'd eventually like to upgrade my trigger to an Apex trigger and even toyed with the thought of getting one of their match grade barrels just for fun, because I definately do not think its required by any means.
I bought mine the 1st day of the new year 2018 because it had all of the improvements I wanted over their original 9c. 4" barrel, 15 round magazines (love those!) for carry and use 17 round mags for back up and range using the 2 spacers which I like so much I ordered more from S&W to use on additional mags when practicing at the range!
Its very accurate for me. I actually got rid of my Shield 9 sfter several years. I never liked the accuracy that *I* experienced with it, although It was good enough to get me through several levels of training at the sherriffs office gun range during classes I took, but at 9 rounds max i wanted more on the street, and I really had to work hard during the training classes i took with it because the number of shots required to be fired for each level meant a reload and resume firing in the same time everyone else had with full sized guns and 17 rounds lol but I made it, and wanted to make it with my carry gun.
But while my shield was easier to carry, I Love my MP9C M2.0 in every way, it inspires much more confidence with its additional round capacity, and I hit much better with less effort than I could with my Shield.
Great review! You know, for some reason i thought you went by "Scootch" on youtube, but at 61 maybe I'm starting to slip...smh
S&W all day everyday
Excellent video! At the gun show today in Winston-Salem , a dealer was selling these for $379. Glock 19 gen 4 $499. This makes my decision very easy.
S&W really stepped up their game lately.
Carried for two days and pulled the Dremel tool out and sanded down the back strap. Not only does it rub on your skin but it grabs your shirts. It’s hard to conceal if your garments all grab and stick on the grip. I took about half the stippling off and it’s still a good grip but doesn’t give you a rash and hang up all the material that comes in contact with it.
Who's here because California just got this pistol on the roster?
I'm thinking this will be the Glock GEN 3 killer because everyone already has one or two. Time for something new or begone with the roster all together
My wife and I went to the range today with her 9 Shield EZ and my 2.0 Compact. She was not shooting as well as usual so I handed her the Compact and said, "Shoot this for a while". Being a different trigger she was unfamiliar with, she shot very well again... couldn't anticipate the break on the trigger... however, after 3 magazines she was complaining about the grip texture being too rough (I don't notice it so I didn't think about that).
@Sootch00 -- You reviewed both guns and everything you said about the two pistols was spot on. Subscribed. Nice work.
They should come with an Apex trigger from the factory though 😅👍
CONSTITUTIONALLY CORRECT yes!
I agree the Apex kit is superior to the stock trigger, but the 2.0 trigger is perfectly adequate, and actually very good after about 500rds. Which is the minimum I put a new handgun through before even considering it for carry.
Irish Rover a good carry gun doesn’t need a break in period to function flawlessly. Stop buying tight-toleranced gun safe queens like 1911s and nothing needs to be broken in.
BluewaterBoof You didn’t really read what he wrote, did you?
I wish lol
I’ve had the exact same gun but in the full-size for about a year now. Loving it! Took a little time to get used to the trigger, but stacking rounds now.
I just came here for the music and the mustache.
I've carried a first gen M&P45 since 2009 on duty. When the slide is locked back, it auto-forwards every time I insert a magazine. It's a flaw, but it does it every time, so it makes for a nice, fast mag change because I don't have to manipulate the slide or slide stop. I purchased my own 2.0 9mm compact a few years ago and despite the "extended chassis" and spring loaded detent on the slide stop, it still auto-forwards, but it does so less reliably than my duty pistol.
I called Smith and they agreed that this shouldn't happen. I sent it in for work, they kept it a month, said nothing was wrong with it and sent it back. When I called to ask why they didn't address the issue, the rep basically told me that this can happen with a polymer pistol and that I'm causing the problem by inserting the magazine too aggressively. Seriously, that's what they said. The only pistols that do this are my duty pistol and my 2.0. My Shield 2.0 doesn't do it and neither does my Bodyguard .380.
I like the pistol and the way it shoots, but I will not carry a pistol for defense that I can't trust. I used to be hard core pro-Smith, but now I'm done with them. Just a friendly heads up to anyone that's considering this pistol.
That Smith sure looks better than that Glock.
jared lee looks better but its not....
Danny Day that's debatable....alot of people think it is
They’re both great guns...just a matter of what the shooter is comfortable with, but you can’t go wrong either way
jared lee...James Yeager has this as his carry weapon...In his own words "Well it is a Smith&Wesson Glock 19"😂
@@The-Homecook-0000 ...someone needs reassuring huh?
Just bought one yesterday can't wait to go shoot it thanks for the review by the way I got mine brand new for $418 out the door
I found the trigger on the 2.0 compact to be pretty good, Id say it's comparable to the glock, It's just that the hinged shoe design makes it feel odd. I also shot my p10c side by side with the 2.0c and found that though the trigger is definitely better on the p10, The m&p 2.0 compact is the flatter shooting pistol. Just my opinion.
Thanks for sharing this observation. Would you say, then, that a 2.0c with an upgraded trigger that was comparable to P-10c's would then be an overall better shooting gun than the P-10c? At least for yourself?
Paul Stella I would say if you put an apex in the 2.0 compact, you have a damn near perfect carry pistol. The controls are all much more smoother than the p10c right out of the box. The mag release, the slide stop, all much more easier to use. When you push the mag release the mag comes flying out of the bottom. The CZ fruitcakes are going to hate me saying this but I think the m&p 2.0c is the best new polymer pistol of 2017, not the p10. If there was such thing as the “glock killer” it’s not the p10c. Also we are starting to see in the CZ groups people are finding stress fractures inside of the frame where the main trigger pin goes through. I’ve seen multiple examples of this happening. People just don’t see it till they take their pistol down. I haven’t got around to checking my p10c yet but it has about 1200 rounds through it and I’m definitely concerned.
Really a great grip and trigger is improved, not VP9 land but better. I really like this compact pistol and i will get this soon! Thanks!
Xbridgeman1975x thank you for the detailed reply. Thinking I might have to check out a 2.0 Compact
Personally, all I did to mine was put in a flat faced Apex trigger shoe. I did not put in the trigger bar or any of the other springs or parts. In my opinion that was all it needed, it smoothed out the little bit of grittiness it had with the factory trigger. I have a full size 2.0 with a full Apex trigger kit in it and there is little difference between the two.
I heard so many great things about the S&W M2.0 both .40 and 9MM that I bought one (.40). I already have a 9MM Sig Mk25, so I wanted to go with the S&W .40. That way, I can cross train between the two calibers, and also get to know two different brands of handguns as a beginner shooter.
M&P pistols are very accurate.
Yes thanks
Barely accurate, m&p 2.0s are not worth more than hi-point. I haven't even gotten to 200 rounds and already my m&p 2.0 is malfunctioning. Failure to extract, failure to cycle, double feed & not to mention the slide kept locking up after each shot (mind you I'm using good quality ammo & oil like I do with my Caniks, Tisas or Sars, and runs like a clock). I've heard horror stories of the m&p literally blowing up with symptoms like this so therefore I have deemed this joke of a firearm unsafe & not recommend to anyone who doesn't like hot dangerous garbage.
@@deanyilmaz8090 Well considering no one else is having those problems either you got a dud or you're full of shit.
OpNovice can confirm hes full of shit
Im a new owner for this gun and been very accurate after getting a few dozens rounds practice
dean yilmaz speak for yourself.
I haven't been able to pin-point exactly why but every time I press out my M&P, I always have a perfect sight picture. This does not happen with other guns that I own. even though I practice with them. I think it has to do with the grip angle and fit on my hand. Great guns very accurate.
M&P applied a grip angle(20°) right between the Glock(18°) and 1911/browning/CZ(22°) . Being a CZ fan and shooter as my first pistol I found it easy and comfortable to adapt to the M&P as my issues sidearm and now I own 2 M&P’s . Combine their low bore axis and grip angle make the M&P one of the best and only beaten in my opinion by CZ pistols.
While I still don’t like shooting Glocks for their angle. I admit Nothing wrong with glocks and they have proven their platform but just could never get used to. All personal choice
@@tburrows357 Most new guns are very similar and very reliable, that in order for us to pick a favorite, it comes down to very small differences such as a 2° angle on the grip, or 1/16th of an inch in the trigger take-up. 😀
