I find it bizarre that nobody talks about how cool it looks.
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
Damn! Sootch00 you have sold me so many guns with your reviews, my wife said in order to get this one I should trade something in for it, So I said farewell to my wife and traded her in for it, and man was that the best thing I have ever done.
Brewski478 #winning!
Rain sounds
😂😂🤣🤣
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣crazy 🤣🤣🤣
Just purchased this for $420 as my first pistol. First generation gun owner here in WA. Recovering from years of anti gun propaganda growing up in CA. Thanks for your solid review and enthusiasm about this pistol. I can't wait to take it to the range!
My first gun too. I think I've had mine for four years?
Also here in WA, this was my first gun too. I bought it for around $500 a little over 2 years ago. I knew nothing about it and the seller was impressed by my choice. I just liked the way it looked 😆
Just bought this gun and its great. Fits exactly what I wanted.
Compact, easy conceal carry, reliable, and good handling.
I'm purchasing this firearm.
@@hurricane4500 I want a smith and Wesson M&P but not sure which model yet.
And made in the USA!😎🇺🇸
I get it. You tell the pros and cons without needlessly bashing products.. that's appreciated, also your videos are family friendly with none of the yelling and constant F-bombs.. it's why I subscribe and watch. Thanks!
Dana V Because Sootch is the Godfather of firearm reviews imo. He reviews them in a classy, meticulous, and organized fashion. When I want an opinion on weapons, he's the first channel I go to.
Dana V sooooo you're a fragile vagina, got it.
He gives terrible reviews because he's not critical. He gives overviews, not reviews. He's never disliked anything.
Maximus Joseppi Did you not listen to his video? Where he says he gives pros and cons? Go to hell man. Seriously if you don't like him don't bash him and ruin it for the people that do like him. Why are you watching his videos if he gives "terrible reviews"? You're still apparently subbed to him. One does not need to curse and yell and rave to get a point across. I so happen to use bad language, but if he doesn't, more power to him. I've been watching his videos for about 3 years and at least I know if I'm buying a firearm, if he has reviewed it, it's going to be good.
Ultimatecoincrazed haha I didn't bash him? I said he doesn't give reviews, he gives overviews. That didn't mean I don't like his videos, they just are not truly critical. A review implies a critical analysis with the possibility of it being negative.
Go find a video where he said something sucked and not to buy it. I won't hold my breath, ready set go.
He reviewed the Gen 5 glock 19 as being a good gun ROFL. Thing is the shittiest pistol you could possibly buy today. Real reviewers will say that, not sootch that gets given everything for free.
Maximus Joseppi You need to listen and watch his videos before commenting. He said he won't review it if it sucks. So everything on his channel has passed his stamp of approval as far as quality. And saying he gives terrible reviews and insulting a fellow subscriber just makes you look like a jackass, and does, if I'm not mistaken, fit the definition of "bashing". One does not get well over half a million subscribers by not creating quality content. How many subs does he have? Let me check, oh half a million. How many do YOU have? 421. And since you are so quick to jump all over the dude, where are your "reviews"? I see one or two at most on your channel.
$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
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!
That S&W makes that Glock look even uglier than they normally do hahaha
The SD9 was the prettier Glock.
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.
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
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.
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!
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!
Glocks are overrated. S&W has been making guns 150 years before Glock
MEDIC MIKE yes and best of all, made in the USA 🇺🇸
How and where did you buy it? I live in xLos Angeles CA. Gun shop told me its illegal for some reason
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!
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.
Another thorough review. Will also watch this video on the other place. :)
Picked mine up for $439 a few weeks ago. Been carrying it every day. Great review Sootch!
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.
the thing i like about this channel is that he shows exactly how the gun functions! thanks
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..
Holy smokes what a neat offering from S&W. Great review as always, Sootch!
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.
The shooting montage in the beginning was priceless 😂😂. I enjoyed this review
Probably the most thorough review I have ever seen excellent 👍
Best , by far COMPLETE review... Awesome jobs !!!
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?
Great job on the video, loved the close up shots of the gun and the detailed info. Keep up the good work!
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.
Very cool I've been waiting for this one, thanks for the preview for us patreon members
It's a sweet shooting pistol. Thanks for stopping by my friend.
I have both the 9mm and .40cal 2.0 compacts and a 9mm 2.0 shield. Love these fantastic pistols.
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.
Excellent review, articulate, comprehensive, smooth flow and, I felt, honest. I enjoyed the take down and explanation of the different parts and the use of the tool. I subscribed to your channel. Loel
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.
@@matthewgood7665 Awesome
Matthew Good Online? That’s a steal
Smoky Mountain Knife and Ammo has them for $349.
Jeff Carter just picked 1 up, $309 on sale w night sights
You really should be doing voice overs for Home Depot or Ace hardware. You'd make a shit load of money.
Lol! Thanks Sean.
Just got one of these. Your reviews were a major part of my decision making process. Thanks for doing what you do sir.
I dig your reviews man. Honest and fair reviews are hard to find. Thank you sootch!
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!
Best presentation I’ve seen so far on the S&W Shield 2-0 !!
shield??????????????? sorry not shield but compact.
Thank you Sootch! I can always count on you for a solid review. I am looking forward to purchasing this firearm in the near future.
A well thought out and informed review. Very useful. TY Sootch!
$339 at Cabela's. I saw that price on their website and had to order it.
I got the same gun it an excellent and beautiful M&P 9mm compact ...
Thank you so much. Very detailed and informative video. Definitely getting this for my first gun.
When I bought mine it came with a variety of grips that was real nice to get a personalized feel!
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 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.
great review and thanks for adding the fails at the end, that was a nice touch
Excellent information. Great job as always. I got my 2.0 last week. Love it.
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
Who's here because California just got this pistol on the roster?
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.
Great review Sootch. Thanks for spending your time to get this information out to your viewers. Very informative, for pros as well as the cons! You helped me make my decision.
Great review brother. M&P has always been a great platform. This will be my next purchase.
S&W really stepped up their game lately.
Thanks for your time and review. My step father has the older version and I enjoy shooting it. I also tried this version few months ago..... EXCELLENT! I look forward to purchasing mine. Appreciate the review. Nice Job!
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
You could serve dinner on the slide of the 320
Haha I know right !
Hahahahhahahah
Haha
S&W all day everyday
Sootch Great review. very informative and you are fun to watch. Actually sold me on the gun vs. the Sig and Glock. Appreciate you.
Man, keep up the good work! Your videos are some of the best around. I also liked the review of the CZ P07. But they are all good. You cover all the essentials. Man you cover the internal features of the gun as well as the external features and how it performs. Keep on keepin' on sootch00!
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.
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?
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 just got one today and have PC 5" M&P. This is a much improved gun. Tolerances seem to be tighter. I like the longer front rails too. I like the audible trigger reset too. This is a home run I think.
Bought mine from iAMMO they gave me a voodoo tactical bag and a extra mag plus it came with night sights for 457 shipped
Say whaaaaat? Tax return can't come fast enough and or, anyone wanna buy/trade for a AK?
Waiting for mine to arrive at the gun store for pickup. Didn't get all the fancy stuff though
G19g5 Og same I cant find it for under $499.... I’m seeing comment of people getting them for $350 $400 years ago, wtf?
G19g5 Og that’s the first place I look they normally do have great prices. It’s 499 on there right plus it’s out of stock
JeffTheChef I may have looked at the wrong one but I saw one for $469
Sootch, you should do a video on proper pistol grip......you shoot rapid fire like a boss.
I really enjoy your honest and excellent reviews. Thank you!
SootchOO: fantastic video/review! It helped a lot with questions ive had or concerns in general! I'm newer too ccw only been carrying 2 yrs and I'm 24 now. But you've helped me a lot with your videos in general with guns and bug out, survival, and life hacks.. Greatly appreciate it👍🏼
Good review on a fine handgun! Not sure why everyone makes a big deal and gets all teary eyed over the trigger! This is a self defense handgun, and not a competition target pistol! As a combat veteran and retired LEO, No one, I repeat, NO ONE EVER said after a gun fight or battle, “Gee, Sarge, you know during that gun battle I noticed my trigger was a bit mushy and the reset a bit long.” NO ONE!!!!!! Get over it, people! Pull the freaking gun out if you need to use it, and get to work dealing with the threat!
I’d suggest that the perceived trigger weight is inversely proportionate to the adrenaline in your system at any point.
Great review man.. good job
Thanks Brother! Congrats on being 1st! Lol!
sootch00 oh so sorry... FIRST .. FIRST!!!! OMG I'M FIRST!!! BAHHAHAHA
You're the man!
I always enjoy your reviews Sir and I thank you. One very nice feature of M&P magazines is the lip on the base plate. It's much easier to speed load from a double mag pouch especially if you must use a pouch with snap down flaps.
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 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.
I think I’m looking at my first firearm
Did you get one?
I’m picking up mines today 😊
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
You give the best reviews on RUclips! Keep up the good work 👍🏼
I barely bought one and I love it!!
Hey there, how
do you barely buy a gun, lol that's funny yes.
Could you do a review on the taurus th9, been thinking of getting this pistol but I'm not sure!
Bro your reviews on weapons are some of the best I have seen! I had a really difficult time choosing a reliable compact pistol and I have made a decisive decision now. Thanks bro😎👊
Great review, thanks! I want one of these.
I have the original M&P 9C, which is slightly smaller and holds a few fewer rounds, and I love it.
I just came here for the music and the mustache.
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?
@@AriezGirl_78 Yes. First gun.
Thanks for the review. I've been carrying the Shield 9 for a while, but I was very interested in the 2.0 compact. Think I am going to get this.
I want to thank you for all that you do. You are very knowledgeable about certain areas on guns and you teach me alot of things thank you again
Great review and crystal clear camera view, well done!
I find the 2.0 to be a beautiful handgun, it really looks great. However, when placed next to the G19, I find the minimalist look of the Glock is really more my style.
You've sold me. I will buy this before I buy a Glock 19 (Gen 5).
That's what I did and now I'm looking to buy a glock 19
@@hectorortiz8633 Tell us all about your experience...
Probably the best review on this gun I've seen. How did I not know about this channel? Thanks!
Congrats on one million Sootch 💪👑 it's about time. Been watching you for almost a decade now. Stay safe, stay vigilant 🇺🇲
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!
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.
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.
@@DarlingEbony I bought the 40 today. The store said they have no 9 or 45 available and its like a 2-6 month wait. How do u like thr 40.
@@joesantos7196 I like it a lot. One of my favorite guns.
Nicely done sootch! I really like your approach and thanks for showing that you are human as well!! “Two thumbs way up” 👍👍
Great review! Been going back and forth between this and a Glock 21.
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.
GREAT GUN... Smith & Wesson nailed it!
Thank you for the review and video. Awesome. Bought one a couple years ago. I really enjoy shooting this gun
Was thinking about getting one this week but after your review on it I'm definitely getting one, thank you sir
95% I’ll purchase one, “just on your review 👌🏻🙏🏻.. Tks a lot for sharing your knowledge and experience. God Bless!! Just subscribed 😊
I have one with the Manual Safety, can you recommend a good case for it?
I bought a S&W case from Natchezss..com for 10.99 today 11-24-20 on sale
Really great thorough review. Best I've seen. I own this exact gun, and I love it.
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.
