I Guess I'm Just a Wuss -- M&P 9 2.0 Compact

I took delivery of an M&P 2.0 Compact 9 this morning (ordered from Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore). I shot one box of ammo thru it, and immediately ordered some Talon Grips.
The "skateboard tape" texture on the M&P grip is waaay too rough. I can't imagine shooting 200-300 rounds during a range session, much less taking a class where you might shoot 1000 rounds. Hopefully the rubber grips will solve that problem.
FWIW it seemed like the gun had a lot more muzzle flip than a G19. But that may be because I was experimenting with different ways to hold the gun without scraping all the skin off my hands.
Once I get the Talon Grips on it I'll run a few hundred rounds thru it.
TL;DR ..... OP is a wuss who can't handle a little friction from a 9mm.

You should shoot a longbow with bare fingers. It would toughen up your vag.

I've been saying that ever since I held one in a store. Didn't need to shoot it to know that it wouldn't be fun. Especially to carry

Wondering how you like it other than the grips... I have zeroed in on the M&P M2.0 as my next purchase. Any problems? Trigger? SOS has it for $379

Agree to disagree. I put 300 down range with mine today and love the grip texturing. I, personally, shoot it much better than my prior G19. It's my primary carry weapon.

I took some 600bgrit sandpaper and hit my Shield 45 a couple of times on the backb strap where it was rubbing my palm raw. Didn't take much but just rubbing the sharp high points off the grip made a world of difference.

I just got one the other day and love the grip texture. It's similar to a stippled grip, and that was one of the main reasons I bought the gun. I will say the take down tool thing is a little cheap feeling, but other than that I like the gun a lot. And that's coming from a Glock fanboy.

Just bought the CZ P-10C today. Awesome aesthetics and ergonomics. Haven't shot it yet. I will say the slid release and mag release are super tight but I'd imagine they will loosen up after a few hundred rounds.
