@10mm_ tests the new Smith & Wesson M&P40 M2.0 Compact. See how it compares it to the older M&P40 Compact and Glock 19.
New videos from @bluefalcon and @10mm_ every Monday and Thursday. Check back for new threads or subscribe to our YouTube Channel. For those interested in ammo tests, Andrew has a thread for requests here. This is NOT a paid review. Yes, this is tacked in GD. We've been tacking videos here for months.

Thanks for the review, William!
My EDC is a G23, so completely agree that this is a sweet spot in size for a carry pistol. |

How much is ARFcom being paid for this review?
I'm interested in the gun, but to see a review stickied to the top of GD?

I suppose another "advantage" is it creates more distinction between the Compact and Shield.

Nice review, thanks. I love my 9mm 2.0 compact. I think they got really right with this one.

Thanks for the work on the video.
I like that the older S&W Compact is bigger than a G-26 and smaller than a G-19. I wonder if S&W is doing this to position themselves to make a double stack G-26 sized M&P. |

I'm really liking mine, put Heinie Ledge sights on to replace the shitty 3 dot S&Ws. Also, damn S&W to HELL for not making a supply of spare magazines. You get the two with the gun, and two adapter spacers for full size magazines. No telling with spares will hit the market.
If they want to compete with the G19 they need to close the logistics gap, too. |

I have the Full size 5 inch C.O.R.E and the Performance Center Shield..... but I wanted the 2.0 Compact bad. I couldn't find anyone local that had one in stock the week they came out but I bought one the next week. I have been carrying it since then and I like it. I need to find a new holster though. The grip is a bit rough against skin when I drive with it still holstered (4 or 5 o'clock position).

Dammit, I liked the first gen well enough to get two, both Apex’d, and all spare mags with the finger rest because it made the overall size right.
Now they change it up, just to spite my wallet. Oh, and tag. |

As Andrew stated above the reviews are not paid and the equipment is returned to the manufacturer, so there's no incentive for a biased review. We've partnered with our Andrew and William to produce more content for our YouTube channel and I've been tacking videos in GD for a couple of months. We've "plastered" some of Andrews gel tests as well. This is just us promoting our own content. I hope everyone keeps up the good work. |

Great video. I like the looks of the M&P and the ones I have shot have always been very nice. It was a good idea for Smith to come out with something the same size as a 19. That size overall is very handy. I am torn though, if I get a Glock 19 or 17, I will have parts interchangeability with my Polymer 80 build.
