Looks like the gun will be 4 inch barrel, 15-round capacity in 9mm, just like the G19.
Ive always recognized the utility of the G19. Truth be told, I was never really crazy about it because of the way it felt in my hand. I thought maybe the Gen5 would alleviate some of that, but It didn't. I've never had issues with the G17, but its not as easy to carry.
I've been carrying a P229 and am happy with it other than the weight. The new 2.0 compact looks like it has G19 weight and capacity withbetter ergos.

For over a decade now I have been wishing, hoping, praying for an M&P 9mm the same size as a Glock 19 - the closest they had come was the compact .45. The gen 1 compacts were a weird half step between the g26 and 19 in size and capacity. And that damned pinky extender as part of the grip always bugged me.
I wrote them asking (maybe begging...) for a G19 sized m&p. Finally those prayers, wishes and lusts are being answered.
M&P®9 M2.0™ Compact Thumb Safety | Smith & Wesson
The gen 2 m&p compact is the 4 inch, 15+1 gun with a one piece grip. Only thing it lacks is the beavertail from the gen 1 full size guns - a feature I think I will miss.
The M&P has been my favorite pistol family for years and I have been holding off getting a new one hoping they would build this gun. Hopefully dealers will get them in soon. I would almost trade my left nut for one right now.
Well I pre-ordered one with NW Armory last Monday afternoon and got a call Friday afternoon that it was in! Picked it up today and headed streight to Tri-Couny and put a hundred rounds through it.
No issues except a couple time the slide failed to lock back on a empty mag. I'm pretty sure that will correct itself with further break-in. So far, I'm a happy camper!
No, has never been a problem with my CORE. The slide stop is way too stiff, I can barely drop the slide with no mag in the gun using both of my thumbs! Lol
It appears that the slide stop lever(s) are ever so slightly smaller than the one's on a standard M&P, thus they do not protrude enough to get a good bite with your thumb while attempting to use them to drop the slide.
I'm a lefty, so I normally use the top side of my trigger finger to work the slide stop from the right side of the gun. The 2.0's complicate this for me because of the re-design of the slide stop to prevent auto charging when slamming a mag in on a mag change.
Nice! They'er really going after the G19 market.
And I wish they'd announce the overall plan for the line. Will they be releasing a 2.0 version that is comparable to the 1.0 Compact size or is this it? And they used to have a 45 1.0 that was G19 size. Is a 2.0 of that coming or are they not going to do that size any longer?
Never had issues using the slide stop/release with my steong hand BUT left handed its not so good. I have a gripe about the whole slide stop vs release in that it should be functional and easy to use for releasing the slide one handed. Every Glock that comes through my door gets an oen extended part. Most other guns have a usable slide release out of the box.
Sig gets high praise in this department - at least the classics and thru the p250 - i have not played enough with a 320 to give a good opinion. My p220 and every other sig hammer fired gun i have ever owned had a really easy to use slide stop/release.
If the m&p 2.0s largest flaw is that the stop cannot be used as a release thats not so bad.
I think I am dropping preorder coin tonight for one...
