Picked up a Compact 2.0 and have put 600 rounds through it. In factory trim, the trigger is barely an improvement over the old M&P. The stippling is great for shooting, but very abrasive for carry. The slide does not auto-forward like the old M&P does when you jam a mag in with force. Internally, the front frame tabs that guide the slide are much longer, and the sear actuation is slightly different than the old model where the trigger loop travels under the sear. Now, the trigger bar hits a lever attached to the side of the sear. I installed an Apex Sear and USB, along with Dawson sights. My old 9c has the same mods, and the Compact 2.0 shoots no better or worse than the 9c. However, there is virtually no creep in the 2.0 trigger with an Apex sear, while my old 9c has that slightly spongy feeling as the sear starts to move. For me, 2.0 Compact is much harder to conceal than the 9c, which reminds me why I didn't go with a G19 in the first place. I like the 2.0 Compact as an all around package, but by no means is the old 9c obsolete.
