Has anyone owned these three weapons and/or run them extensively back to back or close? I own a VP9 and I’m considering a 2.0 M&P or a P-10c or maybe a P-07 but wanted to leave the P-07 out of the conversation as it’s hammer vs striker. I’ve run a couple mags through a 1,0 and it seemed flatter and easier to shoot well than the VP9 although the vp9 is a nice gun.
I’ve also debated this
While the p10c feels good in hand, at this time it’s reliability is somewhat questionable
The 2.0 is a solid choice…apex trigger made mine from great to WOW

I’ve owned/own all 3 of them
Out of the 3 of them: Out of the box the VP9 takes it.
The 2.0 is REALLY nice, but I only liked it AFTER i changed the trigger shoe out. The stock trigger shoe is the biggest downfall to the gun.
As for the p10c, i’d wait until the square away ALL issues.
In short, get the VP9.
I’ve had a 2.0 and a VP9. The 2.0 is nice, however the grip texture is rough and sucks for carrying. Good for shooting but then they only stippled half the grip. Most of the areas where you actually want texture it’s smooth. The trigger shoe sucks but the overall trigger feel is decent. I prefer the 1.0 grip actually but then they have a whole host of problems.
The VP9 is ok. The trigger is pretty nice but not phenomenal. The ergos are a bit odd. Everyone raves about it and yea it does feel pretty good but doesn’t lend Itself to fast shooting if that makes sense. The bore is pretty high and it’s pretty flippy.
I get excited about all these new guns but they all have their issues and it’s why Glock is still king.
Agree on the vp being flippy and think the grip is too contoured if that makes any sense.

I have all three. All Three are good dependable guns. The biggest difference is size. The smallest, the 2.0 compact is a little bigger than a G19. The P10c is bigger than the 2.0 Compact and the VP9 is bigger than both of them. If I had to pick one for carry it would be the 2.0 Compact just because of the size. You will need an undergarment or some fine sandpaper though.
I shoot the three about the same. No real difference in group sizing, but the 2.0 Compact gives me the best split times, but just barely.
I have a shield for most of the year for carry. Splits and staying on target during faster strings hold a lot of weight. Accuracy too just doesn’t need to be 1911 accurate. Practical accuracy.
Trying to leave it out but the P-07 interests me a lot too.

So do you find that the shield gives you the fastest splits and accuracy in a small gun?
Do you just want something that’s not a Glock?
I’ve owned all three. The P10c was a great fun, but had some mag ejection and other minor quirks. I feel like it will improve over time. The VP9 is great but it is kind of fat. The 2.0c, the gun I had the least interest in has run over 4K of crap steel without any problems. At this point, the M&p is, against my expectations, my favorite
Honestly the shield doesn’t have a lot of rounds on it. I’m coming out of a long hiatus from shooting. This year I’ve shot more than I have in a while which still isn’t a lot.
I have most of my handgun experiences with the g19. I’ve thought of going back but I don’t know if I can swing the extra.
The vp is cool I just find it takes a little more wrist camming and tight grip to shoot faster. I’m no fast shooter. I thought my .45 1911 was easier to shoot fast. The 1911 is what I’ve been carrying but I will sadly be selling to pay bills and buy a polymer gun.

Interesting Greg. I was watching your test too. I remember you liking the m&P a lot.

I think the 2.0 also has the best aftermarket support which is also very helpful.

Are you into red dots? Both the VP9 and P10C have optics ready versions about to come out, first in Europe, then here.
The P10C OR is the lowest mounting plate I’ve ever seen.
I’ve seen pics of milled M2.0s, but for some reason Smith hasn’t come out with a 2.0 CORE yet.

Not really. Just irons

I’m kinda kidding here but when you have the prettiest 1911 I’ve ever seen I don’t know why you’re carrying anything else.
I’m contemplating selling it. I need money and want something inexpensive in its place. I can’t afford to feed it either. I’m trying to prevent selling it though as i love it. My back is jacked up and carrying it is difficult lately. Used to not be.
I have a vp9 but feel maybe there’s a better path.

Glocks are welcome for sure. As an aside here, this will be a partial gift as a bday present and I am only allowed 10rd mags.
in your shoes Id ask for ammo and mags for the shield you already have and sell the vp9.
The vp9 was a gift as well. It’s one ser# away from my brothers. Can’t sell. Another shield wouldn’t be bad.
But I want a good range/HD/possible competition gun.

NY,
while I don’t own a VP9, P-10C or 2.0
I get to mess with a lot of guns at work.
I got to press hold and press the trigger on all three and I still have my G19s.
I co-worker had a P07 that I put a CGW kit in it and it improved it greatly but he just got him the P10C…and I like how the trigger breaks compared to the clunky Glock trigger. The P10C feels a little slippery to me but I like the trigger compared to all. I did have an issue with the P10C is my big ol trigger finger catches the trigger high (very odd) and something I start pressing w/o depressing the trigger safety.
Anyway…throw rocks at me…I will stick with 1911 and Glock.
