M&Ps are solid pistols. I recently sold off an M&P Shield 2.0 to fund a Shield Plus which has become my current favorite carry. Even though the Shield plus has a slightly better trigger, I was happy with my 2.0 and only changed for the additional capacity.
Mine is 9mm though. I’ve never shot the .40 version, but would expect it to be a bit snappier.

They are very well built guns and are amazingly accurate. I have a 2.0 Plus but have had the model you are contemplating in 9mm. I really like the sight color combo S&W used. It's one gun I can truly say sits just right in my hand.
I like .40 but I didn’t care for it in the Shield. I mean it wasn’t OMG PUNISHING!!! Or anything it’s just that that platform really shines in 9x19.
$330 also seems a little pricey for a gun in a caliber folks ostensibly don’t want in a platform that folks suddenly feel holds far too little ammo. (I’m not saying I necessarily agree with all that but it is what it is).
Take Care, Shoot Safe, Chris

Well, I'm going to find out as I ordered one on Monday. Besides the price, the sights are what caught my eye. I'll see if I can shoot it as well as my 9mm Walther PPS M2.
