Look
- Really Awesome with the new texture and color
- New Slide cut with forward serrations looks cool
- The FDE Color is actually good looking
- Finish of slide and frame match better
- Big metal sights
Feel
- Feels good with the new texture and different back straps
- Texturing sticks to the hand
- Correct Grip angle
- With my big hands I can feel if there is a mag in or not
- Points very well
Fit
- Fit and Finish on the guns is good
- Better then what I would expect for the price
- Barrel lockup was solid and accuracy was good on the 3 I used for the test
- Fit everything the same as the original
Shooting
- 3 Different Guns Used and shot 660 rounds
- Full Size 200 rounds
- Compact 360 rounds
- Shield A little less then 100 Rounds
- Full Sized
- Used second day of a class I taught. Borrowed from someone that got it brand new
- Shot just like my gun
- Compact
- Used for the second day of Critical Defensive Handgun by Paul Carlson
- Ran tons of drills w/ Tulaammo in it
- Shot well
- Reloads where good
- I liked the 15 round mags better then the 17
- Liked the recoil impulse better then a Glock 19
- Follow ups where still fast and easy
- Didn’t bother my hand even after all day
- Shield
- The same…
- Liked the more aggressive checkering because the gun doesn’t fit my hand (it’s too small)
- Don’t like the price increase
- Will probably just have my checkered for the price
Loved
- Different Trigger Bar and Sear engagement
- Loved the “Broke in feeling trigger”
- Same Holsters
- Same Magazines
- Same almost everything
Liked
- Look of slide
- Aggressive Texture
- Price on the M2.0
Didn’t Care For
- 4th Blackstrap
- Aggressive Texture against bare skin
- Same Slide and Barrel Design
- Different between the full size and compact slide is .25”
Could do without
- The name is still too long (it got longer not shorter)
- Mag extensions still suck for them all
- Couldn’t find any difference between the Shield 2.0 and original except texturing and slide serrations
- Price on the Shield
- Slide Serrations are only good for looks
