    Who's getting a shield m2.0? No wonder smith and Wesson had so many rebates, they were trying to get rid of all the old shields.

    Maybe I'll get one...Maybe I'll get a 1.0 from someone selling one cheap. I need to shoot a Shield and an XDS side by side to settle a long going mental debate between the two pistols.

    I personally can’t see the laser when looking through the sights. Kinda gimmicky imo.

    A nice bright red light just gives your enemy something to aim at, and also lets him know what part of him you plan on putting a round into. I prefer some trijicon night sights, and the element of surprise.

    Lifted, Armored, needs more lights.
    I would agree if you are referring to flashlights that everyone wants to put on their weapons, Laser's are really not visible except on the target end and if they are scanning their body for my laser, they are not watching for me.

    Better trigger and a little bit lighter. I'd buy the 2.0 if I already didn't have the original as not worth spending another $400 on the same pistol.

    Didn't take very long as I already had a bench grinder/buffer. Just switched out to a polishing wheel and used a polishing compound. I did notice that the mags now slips and in and out easier besides looking good.

    Uh, nope. .... this is what a laser emitter looks like from about 8' in a dark room. Easier to see than the other end.

    I would either get the 9 or .40. Not going to do a .45 in a gun that small

    It's the capacity I don't like. I have a 1911 if I want to shoot .45
