@@Lawfully_Armed it definitely is so far. Most of my shooting has been at night and the video quality is poor so I may just do a sit down review of it. It’s been so freaken hot during the day here I wait until dark. But with that being said it’s an excellent pistol so far at 500 rounds.

@@DrDitchpickle man we were. I needed a day of fishing after a month startaigjt of 110-115 heat index. We had a blast.

@@edbartholomew7085 thank you bud.

@@davidcloyd1296 tfo. Temple fork outfitters.

@@retiredslo it didn’t on mine but mine has the old trigger. Not sure if that would make a difference.

@@minnil7927 that’s weird. My gen 2 and 3 17L and my gen 3 24 run great and are very accurate. But thanks for watching and the comment. Helps with the algorithm

@@RNG-999 thank you man. I appreciate that.

@@saintmichael753 honestly after having it for a while I would take the regular shield 2.0 over it any day and definitely the shield carry comp. I don’t have a shield carry comp but I do have the compact (polymer) carry comp and it’s excellent. I also picked up a bodyguard 2.0 that I have been testing for about a week now and so far I’m loving it. There will be a full review on it when I hit a thousand rounds. So far I’m at 650. But it’s a 380 and not a 9mm.

@@DrDitchpickle thank you bud.

@@AmbientClassical thank you bud.

@@danielsantos531 it’s 2.4K

@@livennick9 it's dark. Focus should be on the firearm. Don't want to see your dungeon lol

@@danielsantos531 my wife had just gotten out of the hospital at the time of this video and didn’t want to wake her up. It is what it is man.

@@livennick9 I see. Sorry about that. Look forward to seeing your next videos!

@@daveshadenuff187 heck yah a 5” would be very cool. Especially if they double ported it.

@@metsnyc7797 man I’ll be honest I really thought about going with the shield plus carry comp but then realized it was a 4”. I had the original performance center shield plus 4” and could t find a good quality holster at the time. Then I started wondering is it a 4” or a 4.2” like this model because if so holster selection would be zero at this point, so I went with this one and couldn’t be happier. I’m definitely not saying on down the road the shield carry comp won’t be in my collection but not for now.

@@livennick9 thanks man!! I’m hoping they’re more options for a 4” now then back then! Were you able to find a nice holster for this model?

@@metsnyc7797 yes sir. Any m&p 2.0 for 4.25” or larger works. The one I went with was the Tulster profile plus for 4-4.25” m&p 2.0 on Amazon. Fits like a glove and has very good metal belt clips.

@@livennick9 nice!! Thank you!! Does it feel heavy for a EDC ? Thanks!

@@metsnyc7797 it feels about like a glock 19 on the hip if that helps. Hope that helps.

@@purpleshogun6488 heck yah. Nothing like finishing a mag and your whole slide still smokes. 🤙🏼.

@@BanditApache-nd6lu I agree 100%. I like the feel of the metal don’t get me wrong but I’m definitely with you on that. The Polymer is the way to go for an all around pistol. I freaken love it. Shorts like a full size but Carey’s like a compact. Can’t really beat that in my opinion.

@@jasonramsey8518 the last three I ordered I had issues with so I just gave up. I really really liked them before that. One was the sweat guard on a rmr cut for a 19. It was level at the start and sloped so bad towards the end it wasn’t even covering the slide except for a quarter inch. 2nd was sloppy fitment. A lot of movement in a Hk45c holster. 3rd was a glock 43x holster that all the hardware rusted after two months. I didn’t go through their warranty which I’m sure would have taken care of all of them but I just don’t like having to send crap back and go through stuff like that. All three got traded with the pistols at dealers when I traded them in for something else. It really sucked because I hd been using Vedder since about 2016. Back when they used the white bags. I still have all the rest of them I ordered in the past. But all three of those were ordered within about a six or seven month period. May have had some crap qc guy or something. Who knows.

@@Eric.A55 some song bird stuff I pick up at wal mart.

@@Eric.A55 🤙🏼 thank ya bud.

@@jameshall1871 absolutely. I’m glad I could help.

@@khalilbradley3016 awesome. Congratulations. It’s definitely a heck of an awesome first pistol for you for sure like I was saying in the video. Let me know how you like it.

@@RandomWrongDeletion thank you so much bud.

@@gilleonard7378 🤙🏼 that’s awesome. Congrats They are excellent pistols.

@@livennick9 I picked it up today. Cleaned and oiled it, ready to go for Saturday when I give it a couple hundred rounds of testing. Really impressed with the quality of the firearm.

@@gilleonard7378 heck yah. Have fun with it bud.

@@michaelphillips5786 man we really appreciate the prayers and I also really appreciate the positive comment!!!!

@@JoseSantana-yp1wp thank you bud. Congrats on yours man. I am very impressed by the looks, feel, function, and reliability.

@@GSekong to me it is a lot flatter than a stock 19. It tracks faster too.

@@livennick9 thank you 🙏

@@GSekong absolutely. Anytime bud.

@@jameshall1871 for this particular version the kydex holsters for 4.25” or full size will work. It’s actually a 4.2” barrel and fits perfect in my Tulster for older model 4.25”

@@livennick9 thanks for the info, that helped me alot

@@jameshall1871 absolutely.

@@electrochubb thank you bud. They definitely make great pistols these days for sure.

@@JF-qc6po a lot of fish hang around the bank. I’ve spooked off a ton over the years fishing closer to the water. They either see ya or feel the vibration and spook off. Hope this helps bud. Feel free to ask anything man.

@@livennick9 makes sense. I was just curious. I can see how a longer rod would help as well.

ikr, hopefully it happens by the end of the year

are we confident it will drop? also they have a safety version?

@@jagen304 Prices almost always drop after the initial fervor subsides.

@@jagen304 They usually do

I wouldn't get something ported and comped for my first gun. If you are interested in training most classes at the beginner level don't want guns with comps and ports in the class. There's even an argument whether or not comps n ports should be on an edc gun. Sweet gun tho im buying one, however it's not my first.

@@kylejones9262nothing but facts until you can understand fundamentals and the components of a firearm definitely don’t go to the custom route to begin with. But when you do ports are awesome. I have one on my G19 and I love it but fundamentals first 💯

@@user-jz4hy8yn6p I’ve actually recently changed my ccw to the S&W compact carry comp. I think it’s the best polymer framed pistol I’ve laid hands on from the factory. But yes the tac-ops is still a fantastic pistol in my opinion.

@@livennick9impressive offering from SW. crushed it

@@user-jz4hy8yn6p absolutely. I just picked up their new bodyguard 2.0 the other days too. I’ve never been too much of a 380 fan but they definitely did it right. I’m loving it so far.

@@joeflowers9084 man you’re telling me. I’m not sure what they were thinking on that rear sight. It’s light they said let’s build an amazing gun, throw an excellent front sight on and completely screw up the rear sight. It’s almost like they built it backwards. The ears are way too narrow and the sight channel is waaaaay to open. I was shooting left too.

I ordered an original M&P Bodyguard rear sight (for $5 new at Midwest guns) to see if it fits, and I’ve requested places like Angry Bear Arms and Apex give us a normal rear with a .150-.160 rear notch. :)

I’m Joe-just on my phone vs laptop…will let you know if the old rear fits.

@@jedcoupland8587 heck yah. Let me know if it works.

@@jedcoupland8587 please do man.

@@michaelphillips5786 man I really appreciate that. He’s pretty dang good though.

@@danielsantos531 man it looks as good as it shoots. And it looks dang good. Smith and Wesson has been knocking it out of the park on their pistols lately. The range is Thor Global Defense Group. It’s a great place. I normally wait until they close and lock everything up to film so only security personnel is there. It’s a lot more quiet for videos.

@@whiteybaxter thank you very much.

@@wreckagevic heck yah man. I ve tried to get the bodyguard 2.0 but still haven’t found one.

@@WeSkatePN 4.25”. It’s actually a 4.2” barrel. 4.25” holsters fit like a glove. I’m using a Tulster profile plus for 4.25”. Hope this helps bud.

@@techiemarksman absolutely man. Glad I could help. I picked mine up at Fort Chaffee Outfitters in Barling Arkansas. $729 and tax. I had seen the metal version around a couple shops but I was like you. I wanted this version being lighter and compact. It’s been my edc since this video. It is truly a phenomenal pistol.

@@2bcont1nued exactly. They just look awesome man. They definitely did it very well.
