I love my S&W M&P M2.0 3.6 sub compact! This gun isn’t praised enough. Great size, great on recoil, easy to conceal and extremely versatile. You can carry standard OEM 10, 13, 15 or 17 rd magazines. (Even extended 32 or 40rd mags). Grip module can be short for concealment or add a sleeve for a full size grip. AWESOME FIREARM!

[@garykruyt7277]

Do you know who has sleeves for 17 round mags to fit the subcompact

IMHO, I think the 3.6 really is like the do it all M&P. I’m in the process of trying to make it into a budget range/fun hun at the moment.

Im looking for a one gun to do it all

[@williamyoung5001]

I have the 4 inch compact and the 3.6 sub compact, both are 2.0. I prefer these as my edc appendix carry than the micro nines. Carry what you like and go train often 🇺🇸👍🏾

[@JacksonWalter735]

If you guys are considering the Shield Plus, I highly recommend spending the extra $50 for the optics ready model. Even if you don't care about optics, it comes with night sights. The only con I can think of is if you prefer a different color night sight or have an extra M&P Shield night sight/fiber optic sight (which is still a hassle to put on compared to Glocks). Might as well future proof your Shield Plus and make it more effective

[@chrisporter7534]

Just buy Streamlight TLR6 laser / flashlight combo for your shield plus and then you do not NEED night sights! Streamlight cost the same price as night sights and you do not have to paid extra $$ for gun smith or buy equipment to install the night sights.

[@bxcongero1]

@@chrisporter7534, I just put tritium sights on all my guns, still don't personally see a point in carrying an EDC or duty Pistol with an optic, between snow, rain, dirt, mud, blood, or anything that can block your sight picture in a self-defense situation deters me from putting them on any of my EDCs and is something I teach new shooters, private security, and PD when instructing them. They are fine for targeting and competitive shooting, but the Shield Plus is for shooting 0 to 10 yards. That's my humble opinion on optics for self-defense or duty pistols.

[@abc4781]

@SigCan M&P 2.0 I definitely disagree respectfully, if you equip your gun with a mrds that has a closed emitter, none of those factors are issues, except fog on the outside of the lenses wich can be prevented, and maybe mud in wich you can wipe clean.

Wow! You held a Smith&Wesson 2.0 Shield 9mm family reunion. Great to see the entire family together again. Nice information laden video. As soon as I put the the EZ in my hand, it was love at first sight. Big gun shoot ability with comfortable concealed carry regardless if you go IWB or OWB. Appreciate the length you’ll go to help your viewers make informed decisions. Wish we lived closer brother, we’d be mates.

[@srsatlaf4730]

I have the 3.66 sub compact and I also got the Shield Plus later. I still like the sub compact very much for both IWB and OTW and carry it more especially when comfortably dressed. I tend to go to the Shield Plus when better concealability is needed more with dress clothes or extremely light clothing.

[@ajbarnes777]

I have the Shield Plus Performance Center 3.1 for my EDC. LOVE it! Great all around (size, weight, comfort, accuracy, reliability, etc.).

[@CaveWyatt]

To me, the M&P .380 EZ is a terrific combo size for carry and shootabilty. I just wish they’d come out with a double stack “pro model” and that would jump into the rotation with my P365XL. I’m getting old enough that the lack of recoil in the EZ would/could be very helpful to me very soon. I have one but that “10+1” sounds much better to me than “8+1”. And it would be an excuse to buy a new gun. 😉

[@CoastieVet1984]

My OWB is my 2.0 Compact (15 or 17 with the spacer) and my IWB is a Shield Plus both in 9mm.

[@mattg9098]

I have a mp 2.0 subcompact in 40 cal. You can carry it with 10 round flush. 13 round mag for compact size or 15 rounds full size. I think subcompacts still serve a purpose especially for calibers bigger than 9mm to keep the recoil down.

[@ballsack8937]

I'm hoping to buy one soon. Might settle for 9 but Id like mnp40c

[@anthonyjarrad141]

What I like about the Subcompact is the same reason when I moved States I went out and got a Glock 26 - uses all the mags of the larger pistols in the series... So the subcompact give you a lot more ammo/carry/backup mags/home defence scenarios

[@rodfuller2418]

Have to agree with you, I have or do own all of the guns you have just talked about without the 10mm and that is my next gun to get. I believe that you are spot on with your comparison. Shootem straight and reload. Thanks for your videos.

[@WilliamKister]

S&W M&P9 Compact 3.6" barrel that is optic ready with flat face trigger will be the best carry gun. 15+1 capacity. Micro guns are overrated right now. Do shot times with a Micro versus a Glock 19 or M&P Compact and the shootability of the bigger frame leaves the micros in the dust. The M&P9 3.6 is like a Glock 26 slide on a Glock 19 sized frame. Easy to conceal and shoots like a duty sized pistol.

[@13BGunBunny]

When I went shopping for my first Concealed Carry (CC) firearm, I looked at several to get a feel for the grip, trigger break and other features as my hands are not large but they are thick and meaty. Do your research and compile a list of quality firearms before you go shopping. My list consisted of 17 to choose from and even though the store that I went to did not have every one of them on my list, I still had a wide variety to look at. Don't buy a SIG, Glock, Walther or Hellcat because John or Jane said so. _Find one that fits you as you will be the primary user of your next firearm._ After you have narrowed down your search from your list to just a few, only then can you choose by price, if that's what you wish, as you know that you will also have a quality firearm that fits your hands. I eventually decided upon the optics ready S&W Performance Center M&P9 Shield Plus with a 4" barrel for CC and I also purchased 2 more 13 round mags for when I'm at the range. I have not yet been to the range but I will soon enough. My only current problem is the ability to find a decent IWB holster that comfortably fits my fatness. 🤣

[@scubasteve743]

For the argument between the sub compact and compact it all comes down to your body size and clothing. I’m in a warmer are so the sub compact was my first choice. I’ve been contemplating going one up to the compact for the better ballistics and capacity albeit at the cost of being .5 inch bigger. I don’t entertain the shields because they are too snappy, I don’t mind the weight of the 2.0s.

Thank you for this video. In my opinion, these are important considerations for conceal carry. The first one is getting a. Pistol that the shooter is comfortable shooting and easy for them to control. Clothing that allows for true concealment, which means as close to zero printing as possible. Availability of the correct holster. I also strongly recommend that a new shooter find a gun store that has a range so that you can shoot the guns first before buying.

I personally carry my M2.0 4" IWB but then again I'm 220 lbs 5'10" regularly, I also carry the 2.0 Shield and now the Shield Plus, which thankfully both fit in the same holster. I also have in my rotation Sig P365 and M17, CZ P10F, and any number of 1911s I own from full size to commander size. All of these guns I carry IWB, comfortably and sometimes when I carry the larger models I will also carry left handed IWB holsters for my Shields and P365 behind by back as backups, and since I live in Northeast Ohio, I wear a heavy Northface most days, none of my opinions print. That's my personal thoughts, and even in the summer on days when I just don't care I carry those larger higher capacity guns and I usually wear any of my baseball jerseys, again the don't print or if they do it's still hardly noticeable and I carry on my hip. I won't carry appendix, one I gave a gut, and two, even after all these years I've carried, next year will make 30 years, I'm afraid of shooting myself in the legs or my crouch, and believe I have excellent trigger control, but no thank you, lol. In my humble opinion if you are carrying a striker-fire handgun and you want to carry appendix, that's the only time you should have a safety on one. Thanks for your opinions on M&Ps since that's what I happen to carry most. Oh and BTW I was able to purchase 15 thirteen round mags over the 4+ months I've owned the Shield Plus, that's for range time, lol but I do carry 3 thirteen rounders at all times, the ten rounder that came with the gun is in the safe, I don't see a point in carrying it, and I still say 40 rounds isn't enough, lol.

The only caliber you need is 9mm regardless if you’re in town or the woods. The only time 10mm would be an advantage would be if you’re in the areas of Alaska, Idaho, Washington, Wyoming, and Montana where you’re possibly going to encounter a brown bear. If your dealing with mountain lions, black bear, or other animals, 9mm vs 10mm really doesn’t make a difference. A good 9mm round, which will be easier and faster to put on target will actually give you an advantage over 10mm.

MP 2.0 in 40. Tier 1 concealed holster apex tact flat face night sights sidecar for extra mag streamlight tlr boom. Edc

[@elmasloco6538]

M&p shield 40 with the DRT 105 grain it’s really light easy concealed carry ✌️

[@wrenchinator9715]

I got an EZ Shield for my first gun. I enjoy it, but I'm having major failure to feed issues even after sending it back to S&W. Much as I love it when it's working properly, that's unacceptable for an EDC and unless I can find a solution I'll need to find something to replace it with.

Love the 40caliber compact 😊

[@kenshin034]

The 3.6 2.0 is nice but Smiths carry 👑SD9, the thinnest/lightest loaded compacts out G19/SD9, just download carry mag 8-12rds don’t SS/SubC no pinky reloads and extended mag reliability

[@RT-fy7gt]

There is no “worst” with an M&P.

[@guyranctilsr]

We carry our MP Shield Plus, I cared the old M P Shield for 7 years an never had a miss hap

The interesting thing about 10mm is how tools and targets has shown how so much of the ammo is no better than .40 s&w. It’s great if they’re giving you what you pay for, but there’s a lot of weak ammo out there.

[@Cuba537]

The EZ is a great looking gun but that grip safety is so ugly, people complaint about the XDM grip safety but Shield EZ safety is bad looking , they should just put a regular one and get rid off that.

[@johnnypalamino1761]

Very good stuff. Love the 2.0 compact the best.

[@grbst1]

Tulsters are nice but they don't have an IWB for the m&p 2.0 compact optic ready - they state they ha e on for 4" one but only fits the shield which does t come in 4"

[@douglassalley9117]

tCheck with rounder, AKA Concealment express. They now carry optic cut holsters but not WML and Optic cut!

[@Hegshot87]

I dropped a link in the description for you to check. It's for the Urban Carry and then go to the Lockleather IWB holster. I'm very impressed with that holster so far 👊

[@Jay-vj1km]

Dang… that 10mm recoil looks hefty

[@stevenhall1097]

Give me a 40 s&w I would be happy. Don't know why everyone talks about 9mm.

[@timm9114]

I mean, because everyone has gotten with the times. Literally the 9 has matched if not surpassed the ballistics of the 40. That allows more capacity and less felt recoil, plus cheaper per round. Nothing wrong with the .40 but the 9 is now more superior…you asked

[@Serve3000]

M&P 2.0 9c my favorite on my hip now as I go get this pizza

[@KyleSmith-bh2cv]

I have the shield + with romeo 0and I carry appendix, last gun was 9 compact 4" and the plus is way easier to carry even with optic and I use the 13 rd mags..but still love my compact it's my owb gun

[@josephweber92]

I love my shield plus night site version with my crimson trace optic red dot holds 13 plus 1 and came with 4 magazines 2 13 plus 1 and 2 10 plus 1

[@SigXman]

I still edc my Glock 19.

[@TheOutside84]

I have a gen 1 shield .40. I'm currently in the market for a 4 inch 9mm... I love my .40 but not enough rounds and hard to be accurate outside of 7-10 yards.
