• Q: What are differences between the shield plus and the M&P9 M2.0 ?

  • Answered
  • Asked 12/17/2024 22:00 by James W

  A:

  The main difference between a Smith & Wesson "Shield Plus" and an "M&P9 M2.0" is that the Shield Plus is a smaller, more compact version designed for deep concealment carry, while the M&P9 M2.0 is a larger, slightly more full-sized pistol with a higher magazine capacity, making it better suited for situations where concealability is less of a concern; the key distinction being the Shield Plus has a significantly higher magazine capacity compared to the standard Shield model due to its optimized design, while still maintaining a similar overall size.
  Key points to consider:
  Size:
  The Shield Plus is noticeably smaller and thinner than the M&P9 M2.0, making it more discreet for concealed carry.
  Magazine Capacity:
  The Shield Plus has a higher magazine capacity than the standard Shield model due to its design, allowing for more rounds to be carried in a compact package.
  Trigger:
  The Shield Plus typically features a flat-faced trigger, which is preferred by many shooters for better trigger control compared to the curved trigger on the standard M&P9 M2.0.

• Q: Not a fan of the flat trigger, can you order one and have it installed?

  A:

  Honestly flat triggers have an advantage putting allowing the finger towards the bottom of the trigger more leverage allowing a cleaner ,easier and more precise shooting experience in my opinion , but yes you can buy a standard trigger and install it or have your local gunsmith do it for you

  A:

  Hi Gabriel, this gun uses the Shield RMSc footprint, so any optic with that footprint will work. Here is one that won't break the bank, and is even included on some S&W models. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/131519/crimson+trace+0101960+compact+tactical+open+reflex+compact+subcompact+1x+3.25+moa+3.25+moa+red+dot+black ,
