It'll never replace the P226. 226's will forever be the king in my book.

As to the striker fired guns, yeah, I really like the 2.0. Smooth, easy to shoot, sexy. But, I also like Glock 34s, and 35s. A lot. I guess until I retire I'll be a Glock shooter by default. I honestly don't know how many rounds I have through a Glock 35. It's a bunch. It comes out of the holsters and without thought I can burn .20 splits all day long. I'm good out past 100 yards with it. That is hard to beat. This fall I'll be making the transition to the 34. But, getting the round count up on the 2.0, I could do the same thing. Life is good.

And I do like the P320.

So, maybe I'm pistol confused??

Jerry, I don't mean to hijack the thread away from the 2.0, but given your experience with, and fondness for, the Glock 35 and 34, especially the accuracy of the new Gen 5s, have you gotten to handle and shoot the new Gen 5 G34? If so, what are your thoughts?

It has been my experience that clips like that cause the entire rig to fall out of the waist band as soon as one goes hands on with someone or even bend over when used on an AIWB holster. IMHO a solid fixed loop in which you have to thread the belt through or soft loops are far superior to that type of clip.

I actually took 3 of them and mixed and matched slides and barrels on their various frames, and viola...all 3 are quite accurate now...

I love it!

OK, I have to admit. I am late to this appendix carry stuff. I tried it a couple of times, and couldn't get into it. Mainly because when I would sit down, the holster digs into my leg.

Piedrarc told me that he had found the most comfortable holster. I said whatever. And in the irreplaceable form of the true friend he is, he sent me one. The holster is from Mastermind Tactics. The foam wedge is adjustable. Once you get it adjusted, after about three days, just like the instructions say, the holster disappears. I like it a lot. The 2.0 compact disappears under a light shirt. My draw times on an 8 inch plate from concealment have been around 1.4 consistent. Which is about two tenths faster than 3 o'clock IWB. I can get down into the 1.25 range but I'm not yet anywhere close to consistent at that speed.

I am now a fan.

Shot another 160 rounds out of the 2.0 Compact yesterday during a rainy practice session. I've been working heavily on transitions in dry fire, and wanted to get a little live fire in because the temperature was above zero, and it wasn't pouring rain for a change, only light rain.

My average draw from concealment was somewhere around 1.25-1.35 on an 8 inch plate at 10 yards. My transitions on fairly close plates were in the neighborhood of .25s.

They say in the directions that it takes 3 days of wear to properly form the wedge. For me it was probably about 2 weeks. Mine is about half the width that it started as and is extremely comfortable.

Ohhhhhhh, you should see what's coming next.

The 4.25 and Compact are leaving my possession next week for gunsmith fit Apex barrels. After that, the 4.25 will be off to ATEi for an RMR. And I'll pick up a new 4.25 for SSP and Production division.

I did some experiments this morning with the 13 pound recoil spring on all three pistols. It is in fact like cheating. The sights return so much quicker and more reliably. I'm going to have to gather a bit more date, but I think the sweet spot is the 13# spring in the 4.25. The 5 inch gun seemed a little "bouncy" is the best way to put it.
