I know, I know... it's the new "compact." The problem is, I already own a first gen compact and I just say mid size to create the distinction.

Things I changed/added:
Gold Cerakote done by Propagandolf (Sulzer Firearms in BR)
Ameriglo sights
Apex Duty AEK

And I agree with Dawg that the texturing is way too much for my liking. Maybe I just have dainty little hands made for the camera, but I already ordered Talon Grips for the gun.

There will likely be some more gun videos in the pipeline with this addition to my gun family. Stay tuned!

Nah, just kinda worked out that way. He had samples of burnt bronze and the gold in the store and the gold barely edged out.

Not really my style, but the 2.0 looks like a nice pistol.

I bet it looks better in person

Looks like a sweet pistol. That was one of the ones I was considering but I’ll be picking up a VP9 tomorrow.

I’ll likely compare my fiancee’s VP9 to it in a video soon. They VP9 is actually longer in the grip with the same capacity. Interesting...

I must have the roughest hands in the world, cause I love the texturing on the grips. Its the only complaint I can make about my shield- I wish it had the textured grips like my compact.

I don't mind the texturing either but that said, Talon makes everything better.

Looks good, I just sent my 2.0 compact slide to Agency arms for the Gavel cut. It’s gonna be along wait, I’m ready to get it.

I agree. And I wonder exactly what adhesive they use because it hasn't shown any sign of coming off on my Kahr and FN pistols.

What all does that entail? Just a little porting on the slide?

To each his own with the color, but I'm digging it.

How long did it take to get the slide done? Thinking about getting the slide done on each my P250 or P226. Or possibly my shield, if I don't sell it.
