On Monday, the firearms giant formally announced its newest entry to its line of subcompact polymer pistols, the revamped M2.0 variant of the Shield in both 9mm and .40S&W.
The new gun blends the 2.0 enhancements to the M&P line rolled out earlier this year with the concealed carry-oriented and very popular Shield series with its 3.1-inch barrel and 18-ounce weight.
“When we launched the M&P Shield pistol, it quickly became the pistol of choice in the concealed carry market,” said James Debney, president and CEO of American Outdoor Brands Corporation, in a statement. “Having recently shipped our 2-millionth M&P Shield pistol we are now excited to build upon its success by introducing our newest Shield in the popular M&P M2.0 series of products.”
