after shooting a 1911 my whole life, I have been convinced that 9mm is a superior cart for EDC. But I'm torn - the Shield only holds 9 rounds, vs the double stack 2.0 which holds 18.
I'm not expecting to get into any drawn out gun battles. What do you guys think, is the 2.0 a ton bigger than the shield? How much more of a pain would it be to conceal carry?
After all that 1911 time you should just move on to another overpriced played out meme gun like the USP or the M9
Just imagine a thicker, but lighter 1911 with a shorter slide. Get the in between option, the M&P 9c if you are dead set on S&W. Otherwise, check out the VP9/VP9sk. Sig P320 is another option or Glock 19/26

My 1911 is a 1945 hand me down. Old as fuck but fun and reliable. Shit capacity tho. Also kys.

Thanks I hadn't considered the 9c for some reason. S&W bc 'murica.

best of both worlds, M&P9 Hybrid. Atei makes the kit to fit a full size slide on a compact frame.

The M&P9C is probably your best bet if you're concerned with size while still wanting shootability. That being said, the Shield while a single stack 9mm is surprisingly easy to shoot for its size.
Chris Baker has an excellent video on the M&P9C and his observations from carrying it for 5 years.

ATEi supposedly makes a godly M&P trigger that surpasses any striker fired trigger and it makes me think of the M&P9 w/ thumb safety as potentially a "modernized 1911" if that makes sense.

I don't believe you.
I really like my 9c... I just bought a holster to start carrying it since it doesn't seem much bigger than my shield and I shoot it super well...

>What do you guys think
I think you talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded.

get a cz or something else, you'll be more accustomed to the grip angle and the controls will similar. It'll feel more natural to you.
Smith and Wesson makes kind of crappy polymer 9's compared to other options in their price range.

there is a 2.0 compact yes ?
otherwise go for more ammo, if you're in some incident less to worry about, just spray & pray
