I love my S&W M&P M2.0 3.6 sub compact! This gun isn’t praised enough. Great size, great on recoil, easy to conceal and extremely versatile. You can carry standard OEM 10, 13, 15 or 17 rd magazines. (Even extended 32 or 40rd mags). Grip module can be short for concealment or add a sleeve for a full size grip. AWESOME FIREARM!
Do you know who has sleeves for 17 round mags to fit the subcompact
IMHO, I think the 3.6 really is like the do it all M&P. I’m in the process of trying to make it into a budget range/fun hun at the moment.
Can you put an rmr on it without getting it milled?
@@thegeth4293 the new version of S&W M&P M2.0 3.6 compact comes optic ready. So, no milling is required.
@@captain190669 yeah but its got the same grip length and almost the same weight as the 4.0.
This is my dillema, i want a quality red dot, most likely an rmr, on a carry gun, but the shield plus cant take it without an aftermarket adapater that occludes the iron sights, and im worried if i get an m&p 2.0 i would leave it at home since its bigger.
Im looking for a one gun to do it all
I have the 4 inch compact and the 3.6 sub compact, both are 2.0. I prefer these as my edc appendix carry than the micro nines. Carry what you like and go train often 🇺🇸👍🏾
If you guys are considering the Shield Plus, I highly recommend spending the extra $50 for the optics ready model. Even if you don't care about optics, it comes with night sights. The only con I can think of is if you prefer a different color night sight or have an extra M&P Shield night sight/fiber optic sight (which is still a hassle to put on compared to Glocks). Might as well future proof your Shield Plus and make it more effective
Just buy Streamlight TLR6 laser / flashlight combo for your shield plus and then you do not NEED night sights! Streamlight cost the same price as night sights and you do not have to paid extra $$ for gun smith or buy equipment to install the night sights.
@@chrisporter7534, I just put tritium sights on all my guns, still don't personally see a point in carrying an EDC or duty Pistol with an optic, between snow, rain, dirt, mud, blood, or anything that can block your sight picture in a self-defense situation deters me from putting them on any of my EDCs and is something I teach new shooters, private security, and PD when instructing them. They are fine for targeting and competitive shooting, but the Shield Plus is for shooting 0 to 10 yards. That's my humble opinion on optics for self-defense or duty pistols.
@SigCan M&P 2.0 I definitely disagree respectfully, if you equip your gun with a mrds that has a closed emitter, none of those factors are issues, except fog on the outside of the lenses wich can be prevented, and maybe mud in wich you can wipe clean.
I’m glad I read this comment. As a first time gun owner, I was wondering if it would be worth it to get the optic’s ready model. My question so, is optics good to learn on?
@@rank1839 yes learning on optics is preferred.
I have the S&M M&P Shield Plus for my EDC... Also, I am now a Member of the USCCA!! I highly highly recommend everyone that is a EDC to look into Defensive Insurance or EDC insurance. 🤘
Wow! You held a Smith&Wesson 2.0 Shield 9mm family reunion. Great to see the entire family together again. Nice information laden video. As soon as I put the the EZ in my hand, it was love at first sight. Big gun shoot ability with comfortable concealed carry regardless if you go IWB or OWB. Appreciate the length you’ll go to help your viewers make informed decisions. Wish we lived closer brother, we’d be mates.
I have the Shield Plus Performance Center 3.1 for my EDC. LOVE it! Great all around (size, weight, comfort, accuracy, reliability, etc.).
I have the 3.66 sub compact and I also got the Shield Plus later. I still like the sub compact very much for both IWB and OTW and carry it more especially when comfortably dressed. I tend to go to the Shield Plus when better concealability is needed more with dress clothes or extremely light clothing.
Was caught up between the updated 3.6 compact and the subcompact. Still kind of torn but that new trigger is a must have. Thank you for the great content !
Nice video. My favorite out of the M&P line is the one you didn't show, maybe you don't have one. M&P9 2.0 w/3.6" barrel 15 round flush mag. It's bigger than the Glock 26 but smaller than the 19. It's the perfect size and I carry mine quite often.
The shield plus is about the same size but they both are great. My favorite brand.
@@ricosuave7102 shield plus is a 3 or 3.1" barrel with 10 rounds and is a micro compact. I prefer the one I mentioned which is a compact and just a little smaller than a Glock 19. Perfect size for carry and more capacity than the shield plus. I rarely carry my shield plus because this one is just better all the way around.
I have the m&p shield 1.0 for my edc, the m&p 2.0 full size 4.25" barrel and the m&p sport 2 for home defense. Love the m&p line up.
M&p 9c is still one of the best s&w
To me, the M&P .380 EZ is a terrific combo size for carry and shootabilty. I just wish they’d come out with a double stack “pro model” and that would jump into the rotation with my P365XL. I’m getting old enough that the lack of recoil in the EZ would/could be very helpful to me very soon. I have one but that “10+1” sounds much better to me than “8+1”. And it would be an excuse to buy a new gun. 😉
Dope video Hegshot.🔥🔥🔥 That M&P 9 Shield EZ is the one I like the most‼
👊👊
My OWB is my 2.0 Compact (15 or 17 with the spacer) and my IWB is a Shield Plus both in 9mm.
Thanks for the revue given I'm in the market and heavily favoring the 2.0 series
S&W always my go to! M&P Shield plus 2.0
Have to agree with you, I have or do own all of the guns you have just talked about without the 10mm and that is my next gun to get. I believe that you are spot on with your comparison. Shootem straight and reload. Thanks for your videos.
Having only owned the gen 1 m&p shield 9 (terrible trigger and ridiculously hard to rack) and the 2.0 m&p shield 45 (fantastic shooter, good trigger, easy to rack, in my pocket carry rotation along with my cz 2075 rami). Within the last two weeks picked up the ruger lcp max, it feels half the weight of the other two pocket guns and 11 to 13 rounds of .380 is not too bad.
What I like about the Subcompact is the same reason when I moved States I went out and got a Glock 26 - uses all the mags of the larger pistols in the series... So the subcompact give you a lot more ammo/carry/backup mags/home defence scenarios
I carry the m&p 2.0 4in strong side iwb and I honestly forgot it's even there I also did the apex flat trigger kit with Floyds magwell and his plus two and I absolutely love it
Very good stuff. Love the 2.0 compact the best.
My EDC for the past 1.5 years has been the 2.0 40c with the 4.2in barrel...
That lil diddy is an absolute blast!!!
Easy to control ( even with my bear paws ), with both hands ( I'm ambidextrous too )
Shots land where I put them..
Love the grip texture, lots of folks gripe bout it wreaking havoc on their skin, and I agree, but throw on a thinner t shirt underneath and you'll be fine,
But comfortable to carry nonetheless..
S&W M&P 22 Compact!!! The little brother always gets overlooked.
I enjoy my M&P Shield plus. But I also carry my M&P Shield 45acp as well. One day it's the Shield plus and the other day is the Shield 45acp.
You make purchasing a weapon so easy. Love your videos.
👊
I have a mp 2.0 subcompact in 40 cal. You can carry it with 10 round flush. 13 round mag for compact size or 15 rounds full size. I think subcompacts still serve a purpose especially for calibers bigger than 9mm to keep the recoil down.
I'm hoping to buy one soon. Might settle for 9 but Id like mnp40c
I carry the 9c 2.0 core and love it
Thank you for this video. In my opinion, these are important considerations for conceal carry. The first one is getting a. Pistol that the shooter is comfortable shooting and easy for them to control. Clothing that allows for true concealment, which means as close to zero printing as possible. Availability of the correct holster. I also strongly recommend that a new shooter find a gun store that has a range so that you can shoot the guns first before buying.
I have the M&P .380EZ i love it i plan on getting the 9mm ez as well
The Shield .380 is a great balance between light weight and light recoil, considering that plus the accuracy and comfortable concealability I don't leave home without it.
If your a big dude like me! In the waist band ccw sticky holster is the best!
I love my m&p9 m2.0 , Very comfy and nice, I have a Faxon threaded/Glitter with Apex trigger. Great size love the recoil. All around an amazing pistol
My favorite new video. Very informative!
I personally carry my M2.0 4" IWB but then again I'm 220 lbs 5'10" regularly, I also carry the 2.0 Shield and now the Shield Plus, which thankfully both fit in the same holster. I also have in my rotation Sig P365 and M17, CZ P10F, and any number of 1911s I own from full size to commander size. All of these guns I carry IWB, comfortably and sometimes when I carry the larger models I will also carry left handed IWB holsters for my Shields and P365 behind by back as backups, and since I live in Northeast Ohio, I wear a heavy Northface most days, none of my opinions print. That's my personal thoughts, and even in the summer on days when I just don't care I carry those larger higher capacity guns and I usually wear any of my baseball jerseys, again the don't print or if they do it's still hardly noticeable and I carry on my hip. I won't carry appendix, one I gave a gut, and two, even after all these years I've carried, next year will make 30 years, I'm afraid of shooting myself in the legs or my crouch, and believe I have excellent trigger control, but no thank you, lol. In my humble opinion if you are carrying a striker-fire handgun and you want to carry appendix, that's the only time you should have a safety on one. Thanks for your opinions on M&Ps since that's what I happen to carry most.
Oh and BTW I was able to purchase 15 thirteen round mags over the 4+ months I've owned the Shield Plus, that's for range time, lol but I do carry 3 thirteen rounders at all times, the ten rounder that came with the gun is in the safe, I don't see a point in carrying it, and I still say 40 rounds isn't enough, lol.
Love my m&p 2.0 4inch appendix carry
I have a 40 S&W original Shield and the real problem is my dunlap disease. It is hard too wear inside the wasteband . I need too go on a diet. Great gun, snappy recoil. Makes nice holes. I also have the S$W 380 and 9mm EZ guns. Both great and if you are old and worn out like me , they are easy on the hands to rack and loading the mags is easier than any other gun I have.
My favorite is shield plus
I own several brands of pistols that i use for conceal carry. The sub compact 3.6" is by far my favorite. It is so versatile. I carry iwb with the 12 round mag wuth a 17 round mag with sleeve on the opposite side. I like the shield plus but it doesn't have a rail and wont accept full size mags.
Great video, using your logic (which I agree with), I suspect the Equalizer would be top 1-2.
A nice one to add to the list would be the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Optics Ready Spec Series 9mm 4.6" with 23+1/15+1. It's basically a Glock 19 by S&W, but supressor ready and with the nice upgrades that the 10mm has, like full serations on the front and a flatter trigger than the standard 9mm M2.0.
When I went shopping for my first Concealed Carry (CC) firearm, I looked at several to get a feel for the grip, trigger break and other features as my hands are not large but they are thick and meaty. Do your research and compile a list of quality firearms before you go shopping. My list consisted of 17 to choose from and even though the store that I went to did not have every one of them on my list, I still had a wide variety to look at.
Don't buy a SIG, Glock, Walther or Hellcat because John or Jane said so. _Find one that fits you as you will be the primary user of your next firearm._ After you have narrowed down your search from your list to just a few, only then can you choose by price, if that's what you wish, as you know that you will also have a quality firearm that fits your hands.
I eventually decided upon the optics ready S&W Performance Center M&P9 Shield Plus with a 4" barrel for CC and I also purchased 2 more 13 round mags for when I'm at the range. I have not yet been to the range but I will soon enough. My only current problem is the ability to find a decent IWB holster that comfortably fits my fatness. 🤣
I have the shield + with romeo 0and I carry appendix, last gun was 9 compact 4" and the plus is way easier to carry even with optic and I use the 13 rd mags..but still love my compact it's my owb gun
M&P40c ❤ it carried it about 15 yrs now. 10rd mags & accepts 15 rd mags. I carry the 10rd in it and 2 15rd for backup 40 rds of .40S&W
M&P 2.0 4” compact with a Holosun 507c and an Olight PL Mini gen 1
I shot the ez the other day after being diagnosed with myasthenia gravis I struggle with hand strength when it flairs up and I’m only 31 and I can tell you the hun caught my attention big time.
I like pocket carry so I always have my bodyguard .380 on me at all times. Magguts +1 gives me 7 + 1.
Added a pinky extension and painted the sights white. Hornady critical defense or Federal hydrashock hst's.
check out underwoods extreme defender 68g, the best
@@tyronelylesjr Thanks, I'll check them out.
I agree. Love my shield plus and compact 9. Any word on if the updated trigger on the 10mm will be making is way to the rest of the lineup??
Love me a subcompact 🤤. Feels good in my big hands and magazine compatibility. Glock 26, FN 509c, Smith m&p sub
The 3.6 2.0 is nice but Smiths carry 👑SD9, the thinnest/lightest loaded compacts out G19/SD9, just download carry mag 8-12rds don’t SS/SubC no pinky reloads and extended mag reliability
For the argument between the sub compact and compact it all comes down to your body size and clothing. I’m in a warmer are so the sub compact was my first choice. I’ve been contemplating going one up to the compact for the better ballistics and capacity albeit at the cost of being .5 inch bigger. I don’t entertain the shields because they are too snappy, I don’t mind the weight of the 2.0s.
The only thing I do t like about the M&Ps are the white dot sights. It seems they could do better.
M&p shield 40 with the DRT 105 grain it’s really light easy concealed carry ✌️
I love my shield plus night site version with my crimson trace optic red dot holds 13 plus 1 and came with 4 magazines 2 13 plus 1 and 2 10 plus 1
Shield plus with my Tulster holster
Love the 40caliber compact 😊
You don't have a Shield 45 I assume? That's a slightly bigger and heavier pistol than the Shield 9 but it's a very good carry companion.
I like my Sd9ve. It holds 16 and I changed the trigger.
The only thing I want to do besides that is get the barrel ported and I’ll be a happy camper.
S&W M&P9 Compact 3.6" barrel that is optic ready with flat face trigger will be the best carry gun. 15+1 capacity. Micro guns are overrated right now. Do shot times with a Micro versus a Glock 19 or M&P Compact and the shootability of the bigger frame leaves the micros in the dust. The M&P9 3.6 is like a Glock 26 slide on a Glock 19 sized frame. Easy to conceal and shoots like a duty sized pistol.
I use an original Shield 9mm with a Chrismon Trace laser and Talon grips for my EDC. For $20 the slick grips are a thing of the past. I use a Mag Guts + 1 spring with my flush 7 round mags. I know, not the ultimate, but it is the best I can get in Commiefornia. Shield + is not on the roster. Neither is any of the other guns you've showed. Truth be known, I would rather carry my SD9VE. I can shoot that the best of any of my CCW pistols. Great video though. Someday soon I will move to a free state and I will be able to get what I want. Love Smith & Wesson.
My m&p 9c gen 1 still getting some carry action lol but I also so have some of the other Guns. No shield plus yet but, soon 😈
M&P 2.0 9c my favorite on my hip now as I go get this pizza
You should look into the PHLster enigma !! Life changing
Looks cool
Love M&Ps over the Gocks
Great video thank you!
I have the M&P Smith And Wesson. 380 Shield EZ ... Great for concealment even when I'm wearing basketball shorts
Very fair review.
I carry OWB a M&P9 Pro Series. It may be an old gun but the feel. But it's getting to a point that I need to work it over some.
Most people don't realize how the 1.0 in a pro series or performance center has an awesome trigger and very close to the 2.0 trigger.The regular 1.0 had a bad trigger however the pro series and performance center 1.0 guns will perform.
I use the 10mm 4.6" 10mm as my edc.
Have you tried the new S&W M2.0 in 9mm with the new flat faced trigger? Interested in your take on it.
M&P 2.0 4in 10mm.....Best Conceal Carry ever.... Capacity, Caliber. Only con. A little to big for Warm weather, tshirt, shorts setup. For that I rock my Canik TP9 Elite SC 9mm. And LCP .380 as backup.
We carry our MP Shield Plus, I cared the old M P Shield for 7 years an never had a miss hap
The story I’m telling myself is that the 9mm m&p m2.0 subcompact still makes sense. Can use 12 round mag, 15 round mag, and 17 round mag. Perfect truck pistol. Heavy enough that recoil isn’t an issue and can get off follow up shots fast.
This video convinced me to get a G26
I've had both mp 2.0 9mm 3.6. And the sheild . The larger 2.0 9mm series is more comfortable, accurate, less recoil and muzzle flip than the sheild. Just my take ..
Shield plus 3.1" for me
Shield plus has best s&w trigger
I have a gen 1 shield .40. I'm currently in the market for a 4 inch 9mm... I love my .40 but not enough rounds and hard to be accurate outside of 7-10 yards.
The 4 inch shield plus
I'm interested in both the Shield Plus and the Subcompact, but I'm not sure which one has the easier slide (the Shield Plus was difficult, but not impossible). I'm interested in the Equalizer as well, but I'm trying to keep my options open in case that one doesn't work out for me next time I try it, since I wasn't very accurate with it the first time (whereas I was much more accurate with the Plus). The 15+1 compact was easy enough to rack, though, but it looks a bit big for carry.
I started carrying to og shield I love it and still have it
The comments are coming in like crazy and that's good. There are so many good CC guns out there and everyone has their own preference. This was a nice overview of S&W carry guns, gives folks something to think about.
I got an EZ Shield for my first gun. I enjoy it, but I'm having major failure to feed issues even after sending it back to S&W. Much as I love it when it's working properly, that's unacceptable for an EDC and unless I can find a solution I'll need to find something to replace it with.
Magguts is coming out with a +3 for the 10 rd mag and a +2 for the 13 rd mag soon for the shield plus.. 👍
I need them so bad…
@@Jay-bj2wr I have a set in my gen 1 shield mags. They work good. 👍
@@mattburgess2 great to know, I need mags for my shield plus and a few extra for my 2.0
Also accepts the Equalizer 15 round mags if you can find one!
When I first started carrying I carried the shield but transitioned to a fnx9. Wanted a hammer fired gun .
I have a Hellcat and I still use my subcompact for edc unless I need extremely deep concealment. The subcompact has definitely NOT lost its place in the world
Great videos as usual. But I conceal a full size m and p 2. 0 with a tlr1 hl with ease bc of the holster I use.. Very comfortable and u can barely tell its there.. I kno your sponsored by holster company but tier 1 concealed holsters are prob the best in my opinion and I tried a bunch that sucked
Thanks man. Yeah I'm a fan of minimal material. Another one I've been using recently is the Lockleather from Urban Carry I like that one too. Whatever you like and works for you brother 👊
The interesting thing about 10mm is how tools and targets has shown how so much of the ammo is no better than .40 s&w. It’s great if they’re giving you what you pay for, but there’s a lot of weak ammo out there.
MP 2.0 in 40. Tier 1 concealed holster apex tact flat face night sights sidecar for extra mag streamlight tlr boom. Edc
I say skip them and get the CSX
I bought a gen 1 shield 9mm in 2019 for like $260. I love the upgrades to the shield plus, not not sure its worth trading in for. I won't get shit for the original shield which is still a great gun.
My first conceal carry gun is mp compact 2.0 3.6 barrel (too big), A year later, I switch to shield 2.0 (still too big). Now I’m carrying lcp max (Its in my pocket everywhere I go).
Has the lcp been reliable?
@@rank1839 Yes it’s reliable, but you do lose some on the accuracy end.
@@skyblue1122 hmm thanks
Had a m&p 40 ver 1.0 and I could not iwb conceal that thing. Eventually sold it and picked up a MR920
I bought the 45 but now I'm looking at the Shield plus or maybe the M&P 9 M2.0
i make my on holsters to fit my usages per weapon. nana and papa
... I was hoping that Smith would have brought out a EZ 9 Shield with a ten and extended 12 round mag instead of the CRX ...
Hegshot, what are your thoughts about the 4” PC Shield Plus for CC? Particularly with the non-ported option
I carry a full size M&P9 and a Shield Plus everyday with 110 rounds, year round, with no issues whatsoever.
Shield plus PC 3.1 EDC + USCCA 👍
Where is the EQUALIZER?I LOVE MINE.
The only caliber you need is 9mm regardless if you’re in town or the woods. The only time 10mm would be an advantage would be if you’re in the areas of Alaska, Idaho, Washington, Wyoming, and Montana where you’re possibly going to encounter a brown bear. If your dealing with mountain lions, black bear, or other animals, 9mm vs 10mm really doesn’t make a difference. A good 9mm round, which will be easier and faster to put on target will actually give you an advantage over 10mm.
What S&W MP Gun,You'll recommend for Hking and Fishing in the Tennessee Woods,Home Self-Defense,and Concealed Carry
