    Not a dang thing but I borrowed a buddy’s Dillon case gage to check some older loads I had after I stuck one in my g45.

    Interestingly my shock bottle rejected a lot that the Dillon passed.

    Ordered a set of Trijicon HD night sights for my M&P 2.0. Man these are awesome! If you have an M&P I highly recommend them, even in semi low light these things are bright and the sight picture is fantastic, the front sight is taller than the stock one. Midway had them for $126.00 on sale, normal price was $165.00 so I nailed a pretty good deal.

    Installed this morning, a very easy job to do on the M&P 2.0.

    Bought them a while ago, but finally installed my Geissele Super Sabra trigger pack and Geissele Lightning Bow Trigger. I also changed out the brass deflector on the ejection port with a Percival Arms deflector.

    Continuing with my M&P 2.0 upgrades, last week it was Trijicon HD sights, this week it's a Wilson Combat precision barrel, CDS heavy duty guide rod with ISMI flat wire recoil spring and Vickers Elite wide magazine base plates.

    Stock guide rod on top, CDS guide rod on the bottom. Notice how thick the CDS end plate is, it also has a deeper front cap that fits snugly in the slide. A heavy duty hex head screw allows easy replacement of different weight recoil springs. I'm running a 19lb spring at the moment.

    The Wilson barrel is a work of art. The mail man came late today so I didn't get to try it out. The barrel dropped in and it's smooth as silk, a good range session will tell if any adjustment is necessary.

    The barrel is noticeably thicker at the bushing area.

    The barrel hood has a nice matte non reflective finish.

    Just a couple more mostly cosmetic mods left to do and I'll be done with it. The trigger won't be replaced, I've grown to like it.

    The M&P2.0 is one of the few striker-fired pistols I actually like. They got the grip right, the trigger close.

    The market-available upgrades allow it to punch well above it’s weight cost-wise.

    Yep, this pistol fits my hand so well it's crazy, the trigger was different at first but I love it now, I shoot the crap out of the thing so I guess I just got used to it. It went from being just an EDC pistol I didn't care about to being one of my must haves. The thing is excellent with the stock barrel so I can just imagine how it's going to be with the Wilson. Can't wait for the weekend to get here so I can try it out! I'm now thinking about getting a Shield to go with it.

    Enjoy the tryout. I would highly recommend try before you buy with the shield.

    The 2.0, both compact and full-size, long and short barrels, are fine combat/fighting guns.

    My experience with the Shield is that it’s definitely a backup gun. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s not an M&P mini, so I would recommend adjusting expectations.

    That's a fine looking piece. Almost makes me want one

    Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely try one first. I'm guessing the Shield is probably just a bit too small for it's own good. I'll probably end up with the 2.0 compact then. I'm definitely not looking for a backup gun.
