Rural King: S/W M/P 2.0 Compact: $385 ???

[doddg]

I work at an indoor range, I get to shoot a lot of different guns, the 2.0 is an absolute joy to shoot.

1. As compared to everything else of the same genre: Why?
2. Perhaps it cannot be told, but experienced: if so, I understand (based on my car experience )

I haven't shot any of the 2.0 M&Ps, but every M&P I have owned I have had to give the Apex FSS treatment to to be happy with. I had one Dan Burwell went through for me that I thought was better than Apex. Ended up selling all but two of them. Haven't shot those two in a long time.

I called the RK in Greenwood. They give the rebate in the form of a gift card, so it's useful if you need something there. I'd rather use the money for a nice holster for it. I inquired about the .45, and for the price, I'd rather get the Sig 320 Carry w/night sights offered to me for $560 (New).

If you want to try the 2.0, Point Blank was offering a free 5 shot test fire. That doesn't give much time to decide, but you could always rent one if you were close to a decision, or maybe a fellow INGOer has one and could meet you there, split the range time and you could try theirs out?

Well, I can't compare it to everything else in the same genre, but compared to the Glock 19, the ergonomics are just better in my opinion (grip angle, etc). I had loved my Glocks for years (and still do for the simplicity, and function, etc) but the M&P just feels more natural, which is a subjective thing. I will also say that I tried the original M&P 9C several years ago and it was not for me. I sold it off even after putting in an APEX RAM kit to make the trigger reset more tactile, and it still did not do it for me. I just could not adjust to it coming from my Glocks.

Then the 2.0 Compact came out (which is a much different sized gun than the original M&P 9C as well) and I loved it.

But I will reiterate this, since you brought up the Shield comparison multiple times, this is not a Shield sized gun.

You can compare the specs here:

1. I will rent one at Point Blank, along with other 9mms I haven't shot yet: I just didn't have time to mess with it Sat.
2. I would not have any problem paying for range time to be able to spend time with another INGO member and take advantage with his gun.
3. Anytime someone has suggested that I've always been open to it, but it has never happened: everyone is busy with life, I know I am.
4. I am not "close" to a decision by any means since I am busy working through other gun issues.
5. I have sold 2 guns, but turned around and bought 2 guns: hard to make progress on this "thinning" business.

That is the most illogical and impractical goal I have EVER seen!!! Lol

1. If my wife only knew the half of it! She thinks I'm totally out of control.
2. But, all my guns still into 1 bag (barely, now), excluding the Henry rifle, of course.
3. that has most of you beat my a long shot, from the sounds of it.
