I own both. Shield is much more comfortable to carry, even with the 13 round mag. Compact is easier to shoot.

[@hazeldejesus]

Sub compacts are good for ppl that can only have one pistol, it works for carry and nightstand. If you can get more than one, then a micro for carry and a compact/full size for the nightstand is great.

[@POPJack1717]

Exactly. Which back when I was a poor, I bought the compact 1.0 (2.0 subcompact equivalent). It was a best of both worlds gun since I could only afford one.

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

Subcompacts shoot nicer than micros. They’re heavier and tend to be softer in felt recoil, thus being more accurate with DoubleTap shots. Plus they can hold full sized mags too. I love the subcompacts for all these reasons mentioned.

[@moonmoon5578]

I was just about to see if they had an optic ready version. I would love to see the SC with a flat face trigger and optic ready

[@cbwelch4]

The advantage of the compact is easier to shoot well and is rock solid in the hand the S&W was one of the first modern striker fired guns to really study the hand and take the grip up a notch from previous guns. I have a Gen 1 M&P9c that I made mine by putting an Apex trigger kit in it and got a fluff and buff job from a great gun smith. Love that gun. I also have an M&P Compact. I like the Shield but the others really feel great in hand and shoot very comfortably.

[@joehelvey5794]

That subcompact is notoriously hard to find new. After a trigger swap for an apex it’s absolutely a joy to shoot. I prefer the grip angle over my Glock and the pic rail is a nice feature.

[@keving52002]

Yes ,i had the opportunity to get a Subcompact used in mint condition, but let it go due to the hype of the M&P Shield. Its like two carrots on a stick and a string of the same size ,but due to everyone talking about the carrot on the left ,you go for it. LOL

Great review, Hammer! I have both. The SC was called the 9c, back in the 1.0 version, and is a 12+1. as others have noted. Was my first firearm. I don't find the trigger troublesome, at all, although I do like the Plus's trigger more, and can carry the 9c well, IWB, kydex, 4 o'clock, even on my medium frame...a little tougher in our southern summers, but that's why I have the Shield. Had the original Shield, but traded it for the Plus, upon release, for the capacity. Love both of these, and will never let either of them go. And,, as you have shown in the video, I have 17-rounders (4) with sleeves, in addition to 12-rounders (5), for range days with the 9c....and, for carry/backup purposes... and for the Zombie arrival, too....even at night, when the Zombies most like to be about.🤣👾

[@thomasarchambeau2661]

Beautifully done.

[@patrickjoy9551]

I have the M&P 2.0c and love it. I saw the PC Shield plus with the 4" barrel and well I had to have it too. I already have the first Shield and like it too but the added capacity of the plus and longer sight radius should make it a great shooter and still just as easy to conceal as the original Shield. I cant wait for it to get here.

[@cashmoney9256]

Nice review! I have the Shield plus, and a 4” Compact and recently got a great deal on the Subcompact. I love the subcompact and so glad I bought it. It shoot so well and it feels like it was made for my hand. Midwest Gunworks makes sleeves which I ordered but don’t use as much as i thought I would. At the range I just shoot the larger mags in the SC without the sleeves since I end rotating between guns.

[@keving52002]

Two great guns, almost ended up getting a used subcompact, but ended up getting the Shield and later trading it in for the Shield Plus. But i still seem to like the Subcompact for the thickness and how it fits my hand, and those few extra .3 inches may slightly improve accuracy. Also like the fact that on the subcompact you can add the larger mags from the other M&P lineup .

[@BobbyDee51]

My EDC is a Shield 2.0 and I love it. I need a firearm with more capacity and a rail for the nightstand/home defense. Looks like the SubCompact will be my next firearm. Great video! Thanks.

[@davidszustakowski3148]

As always, great video!

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

Excellent video as usual! I love your straight forward and “get to the point” narration on your videos. While I’m a Glock guy (and Colt), I absolutely love the M&P 2.0 series of pistols. I love that subcompact model in this video and for everything you said about it when compared to the “Plus” gun. I think the grip is better, the weight of the gun is better and the hinged trigger, I actually like. For AIWB carry, it’s all about the length of the grip, not so much the slide. So the grips on both depicted guns are the same, but the slightly longer slide of the subcompact helps the gun to stay “flat” against ones stomach. Whereas shorter slides usually make guns “too heavy” in appendix carry, thus bending out forward from the body and printing more. ….that’s for me and my body build anyway. Finally, I love the magazine interchangeability with the subcompact and full size M&P’s. If I want to carry thinner, I’ll carry my Glock 43, 43x or 48. I think the M&P subcompact is S&W’s direct competition to a gun slightly larger than a Glock 26, but smaller than a 19. I had to edit this. I’ll say that their subcompact is a direct descendant in size comparison to their old 3rd Gen 6904/6906 alloy models of yesteryear. love it the 2.0 subcompact!

[@clydew2357]

Great review, enjoyed the compassion of the guns. I have both and really like both. If I could only have one it would be the subcompact because it has more versatile.

Good comparison between those two, I went with 4" plus and 4" compact for longer sight radius and slightly higher velocities

[@Smokey_A]

Thanks for doing this one. I think you misstated the Subcompact stock magazine capacities. They're 12 rounders. 12+1 capacity. It may only be stamped to 11, but they hold 12. Both the flat and pinkie extender stock mags (unless you're in one of the states with limits). So flat mag to flat mag it's 12 (subcompact) vs 10 (shield plus).

[@stevestone5671]

The mags are stamped 12 on the other side.

[@heeebeeegeeebeee]

Smith does evens on one side and odds on the other. Flip the mag over and you’ll see 12

[@kenhoward3512]

'Thorough, interesting comparison. I believe the stats, but the difference in width between the Subcompact and Shield Plus, when lined up side-by-side, grip-to-grip, *looks* greater than 1/10" to me, for both the slides and grips. It can make a noticeable difference if inside the waistband. It's time for S&W to give all their pistols the better flat-faced trigger (and real/useful forward slide serrations).

[@romans6two338]

Great review HS. I think an advantage the SC has over the Shield is the longer barrel and I like the ambidextrous safety on the SC line. A person can't go wrong either way.

[@Fzee_Dre]

Is the magazine release ambidextrous on either one?

Both are great guns. I love my subcompact because I find it easier to grip with my bigger hands than the Shields and it's easier for me to shoot because of the heavier barrel and slide. Definitely not as light and easy to carry as the Shields.

Bought the Performance Center 4 inch plus The Subcompact has a few pluses but the trigger on the Plus is AWESOME! Carrying 17 rounds would be nice but I'd have to wonder how much it would print in concealed carry. Also I expect that the plus will eventually get a larger capacity magazine. The picatinny rail is nice for sure by their are nice options for flashlight and laser attachments for the Plus trigger.

[@robertsalyers1351]

I'd definitely pick the Subcompact because it takes the other 2.0 9mm mags and it would match my Full size 2.0 pistol

[@AnthonyZornElSalvador]

overall, a good job, thank you. I wish you had pointed out two more things; the subcompact can take a wide variety of accessories on its front rail (a short rail, but it has a rail), the shield plus no, at this point in time I don't think there are any accessories like those for the SP. the second thing I would have liked to hear about is how they shot, which had more recoil impulse, muzzle flip, which seemed more accurate or easier to shoot, etc. maybe a follow up video?

[@MelodyTymee]

True, all his info were specs you can look up on the main website. What I really wanted to know is how both gun shoot. Like, how is the recoil on both guns? And which one had faster easier follow up shots.

[@TxpNoveske]

I have a Walther PPS and it holds 7 rounds but its slim and at the time I couldnt find any shields. Great trigger on that one. I also got a 1.0 and put an Apex trigger and its great. Its a little heavy but you get 12+1 and its not much harder to conceal but it is wider. Its great at shooting though as you have almost no recoil for its size. My girlfriend also shot it and she was able to shoot well even though she has long fingernails and weak hands.

[@Ds_Drums]

Thanks for posting. I am very interested in the M&P line as I am moving from Glock to M&P. Glock is great but I like the grip angle better on M&P so it more comfortable to shoot for me. I will keep my G19 and 30S though b/c for some reason I shoot the mid-size Glocks pretty well.

[@abc-wv4in]

I agree. I also have a G19 but prefer my M&Ps--Shields, S Plus, 9C, and even a little BG.

I'll tell you guys a secret... my wife's Shield 9 EZ is a nice carry pistol as far as size (slim). Yeah, it only holds 9, but it shoots like a bigger gun.

To be fair to the plus, with a easy and simple magguts installation you can have 13 rounds in your flush magazine and 15 rounds in your extended. If you were compare the sizes of each gun with 15 rounds at that point there would be a pretty clear winner. Granted the subcompact can still take a full size 17 round magazine and that’s definitely a cool bonus, although I just don’t find it super practical and I don’t think it outweighs the many benefits of the shield plus. The subcompact would definitely be better for someone with very large hands though. I have a friend who owns one for that exact reason and that’s totally fair enough.

Between these two, which one has the easiest slide manipulation? I inspected the Shield Plus about a month ago and found it difficult to rack, then shot it this past weekend and found that it was at least manageable, though not necessarily quite as easy as the Equalizer or Sig P365 models (then again, I have been working on some hand strength exercises). I've heard some say the M2.0 SC is difficult to rack, and others have said it isn't too bad and is easier than the Plus. I thoroughly enjoyed the Shield Plus when I shot it, but the slide difficulty is the one major con for me. The 15+1 M2.0 Compact was easy enough to manipulate and I plan to shoot it on my next range visit, but I haven't found the little brother either for sale or for rental to even inspect, let alone shoot. I'm strongly interested in it, though, and my enjoyment of the Plus is only further motivating me to keep looking for one to get a good look at. Thank you for doing this comparison.

[@louisgiokas2206]

I don't know if you know what you are talking about. The standard mag for the SC is 12 rounds. This makes it the same as the old Model 6906. Basically, the same barrel length and standard capacity. Magazine compatibility with the larger model, the 59 series. In fact, Mec-Gar makes a 17-round magazine for the 59 series, so the comparison is complete. Even the weight of the 6906 was within about an ounce of the SC. This makes it a better choice, since I like to have at least two guns in the house that have magazine compatibility. The Shield Plus is a good gun, but the SC has it beat.

Very nicely done videos, commentary and camera angles. Side note on expectations for nightcstand gun. This might be against the grain, but I think a low capacity gun is just fine for that purpose.

What did you end up getting? I’m stuck in deciding between the two

[@Broken_Arrow58]

@@carlos2071 Neither because prices are still too high and probably will remain so for the foreseeable future. Will probably buy the Plus though since I've already two holsters from the M2.0.

@@carlos2071 If you want to buy now, I've found better prices for the Subcompact since they've been on the market a lot longer.

@@Broken_Arrow58 thanks , I was looking for something since I just got my permit last year , but was way too chaotic to even think about it. I seen both of these at my local gun shop and was thinking of it .

You forgot the equalizer mag 15 rounds fits the shield plus ! K

and the shield plus in 4 inch

[@RonDaSantis]

Shield plus has max capacity of 15 with oem mags now.

[@danielrodriguez5463]

The Shield Plus is masterpiece. The 4 inch PC model makes everything else seem too much of a downgrade.

[@bradhuskers]

can anyone verify this? on the old shield, my pinky wasn't totally on the gun. it appears that the undercut on the shield plus, is slightly more exaggerated, allowing for a more full grip, including the pinky. can anyone verify that?

[@ZFlyingVLover]

sub compact should be making the shield or shield plus obsolete
