I bought the PC Shield Plus with fiber optic sights and a ported barrel. Love the pistol, but have had to send it back to S&W twice for repairs. I bought it with the CT-1550 red dot which in itself was not a problem but the erratic ejection pattern of the empty casings were bouncing off the dot window back into the chamber causing stovepipe malfunctions. Carbon fouling of the dot window would happen in as little as 3 rounds being fired from the chamber peephole being so close to the dot window. Taking the dot off solved these problems and the pistol now shoots great & the porting makes for a pleasant gun to shoot. Accurate shooting with a combat hold sight picture. Now one of my favorite pistols, without a dot of course.

It's not an $800 gun. List is $750 and I paid $690 for mine. That's for the polymer framed Compact. The Aluminum frame fullaize is around $900. In either case I don't see how anyone could complain about the trigger, it's fine. It's a carry gun, I wouldn't want the trigger any lighter or shorter.

I have the 2.0 10mm, and I'm not a huge fan of their new triggers either. I think people are just fawning over it because the break is so much lighter than their old triggers, and they got rid of the pivot mechanism. The break is nice. But it's bookended by a Long Squishy Take-Up, and a virtually Unnoticeable Reset. It feels very similar to my Sig P320 X-Compact.

You know it’s people like you that make the Honest Outlaw and the other huge YT channels not even comment back to viewers or for that matter even look at their comments. Because they worry more about what the reviewer is wearing, trash they might have tossed temporarily on the ground, hat they wear, glasses or type of ear protection they have on or the way they hold a gun rather than the gun itself. When I watch YT videos of guns I do so to see if the gun performs not if the reviewer is a cock diesel, tatted up, sweaty dude crawling around on the ground showcasing his skills rather than the guns. My channel is far from theatrical and I would toss mags if I filmed it or not and you know why? Because it’s my gun, my mags and my money bud not yours. People typically do that knowing that the creator isn’t likely to see it or even look at it. So they are trying to get a rise out of other viewers that might agree with them so they can laugh and smack talk a creator behind a screen. I personally know (like he’s an hr from me) one of the biggest KZbinrs on YT who I will leave unnamed. Actually I know 2 both with over 500k subs and they tell me that because of people like you they turn their comment alerts off so they don’t even know people commenting. I said well yeah but I like to communicate with the people who support me. They said yeah well they don’t feel the same way. 40% of them use it as a platform to be a troll behind a screen and to get a laugh out of other viewers looking for acceptance. Come back in a year and let’s see if you still looking at comments. If people didn’t feel the need to be a dick they could have open access to some of the biggest tubers on YT. Have a great and blessed day my friend and hey…”you stay classy.”

@@GSquaredTactical wow. Feel better? Thanks for the lecture, I’ve been on the platform creating review content since 2012, and have 5 channels, so I’m well aware of how people are on here. If you can’t handle honest criticism, then maybe don’t create public content. It wasn’t a venomous, hate-filled comment, it was a small critique and a joking jab at something silly. I didn’t shoot your dog. A little advice from someone who’s been doing this a while: take criticism as intended, and there isn’t always a need to fire back. If it’s rude or inflammatory, ignore it or delete it. If it’s a fun poke, poke back. If it’s a genuine criticism, then humble yourself a little bit and see if it’s valid.

Constructive would have been…”hey man I wished we was back in 1988 when they made guns and magazines like tanks, but sadly we live in a day and age when people make things the cheapest way they can including magazines. It’s your gun so of course do what you want. However, given the quality in 2024 I personally wouldn’t throw my mags on the ground unless you are prepared to buy more.” Nope that’s constructive!! Telling someone they was having a made scientists fit slinging mags and that you was choking on something isn’t constructive at all. I know this because I’ve been told by employers that the reason I would one day own my own hvac business is because I was teachable, humble and willing to learn even from people younger than I. I’ve owned my own hvac business for 14 years now and I am a humble teachable person who handles genuine criticism very well so if I respond the way I did it because it was in no way constructive nor was it intended that way. Joke? Well maybe to you but I have found that when people get called out about something (including myself) they have a tendency to say…”it was a joke”, or “I was joking.”
