I agree. I was out just the other day with my .45 M&P shield and I love the new textured grip.Really the only tangible upgrade on the 2.0 Shields are the grip texture. Which is excellent I must say.
On my Shield45, I used 200 grit sandpaper and very lightly smoothed the grip out a little. It worked wonders.The 2.0 grip tears the shit outta my shirts.
But the 1.0 trigger could use the APEx upgrade
I bought too early.Got an email today about there being a 50 dollar rebate from S&W on them until mid December. Double up those rebates and you will make out very well
