I have the opportunities to purchase an M&P Shield 2.0 9mm for under $300 if I can beat them down. XD Mod 2 sub or compact 9mm. I don't know if they consider this their sub or compact. Price on this guy will be about the same as the shield. I have shot a shield and I like the way it points and feels but the 1.0 version shot high and left no matter what I did. Never fired the XD and it feels kind of large for CCW. I would either use a OWB or IWB for it. I have to win an auction on these so its kind of sight unseen. Just wondering if the XD has anything over the Shield?
Now for the big boys. M&P 5'' 1.0 9mm or XD mod 2 5'' barrel? These would be used primarily for competing in action/3 gun shoots or just use my M&P 1.0 4.5'' barrel because 1/2'' isn't going to make a difference? I haven't seen these guns because I am getting info from a 3rd party but the XDM 5'' barrel I handled last night has some really nice sights for quick shots and the trigger feels really good. What's the difference between Mod 2 5'' and XDM 5''? Guy at the shop didn't know the difference between the two. The M&P is up to $400 and the XD is under $400. I am a huge M&P fan but the XD did feel good in the hand and pointability.
