Looks like its exactly the same specs as the G19. This seems like the double stack carry gun I am looking for. Going to wait to hear reviews and see if the price drops a bit but this seems exactly what I am looking for in a double stack ccw pistol.

I am admittedly very excited about this. I don't care about the hinged trigger because it'll get an Apex anyways. This is the size M&P I always wanted, though. Already ordered mine.

I wasn't really expecting to want much this year. I had been considering the P10C... but this takes it's place for me.
 
Looks very nice. I always like the M&P pistol line but never bought one. The triggers on the early version were flat horrible and while improved on later ones still not inspiring. Then the numerous reports of accuracy problems with the full size M&P 9.

The M&P 2.0 has resolved the trigger and accuracy issues from what I have been reading. Now with the 15 round compact this is very tempting. I really like the Gen 5 Glocks but have wanted a Glock 19 size SF pistol with thumb safety for CCW and the new M&P 2.0 Compact may be exactly what I am looking for.

I personally am not bothered at all by the hinged trigger. I read about more people who hate the trigger blade safety on the Glock, PPQ, VP9, XD, etc. SIG tried to please everyone with the P320 trigger and we know how that ended up.
 
I have been reading conflicting reports on the accuracy of the 2.0. Some are accurate, others shoot a few hundred rounds and become wildly inaccurate.
 
Looks like a winner. I like the hinged trigger over other designs myself.

I have never noticed any accuracy problems with my 9mm M&P either FWIW.
 
M&P reveals new compact version to compete with G19

I've sent 5 M&Ps back to S&W for separate issues. I like the ergos and the trigger doesn't bother me but I've seen a lot of QC problems with S&W. I haven't owned a 2.0 though and this would be the one I'd get. Maybe the QC has improved.

Uncle Malice, how would one go about ordering one? I've been trying to google where to find one to no avail.

Never mind. Just noticed the link in the OP. I'm an idiot.

Thanks for posting this adambomb. I've been shopping for some new plastic and I've been trying to wait for sw to release the compact 2.0. Now I can stop shopping around.
 
I've been waiting for this one, however I'll wait a month or two after it comes out to make sure there's no bugs. My M&P40c has run like a top for 6+ years.

I feel the same way. I am going to wait until release and possibly wait a while for the price to come down from msrp. But I like everything I am seeing. I was considering the P320 Compact but its slightly larger and having the drop safe issue...
