I am going to do something that may frustrate and annoy the majority of our readers. By giving you just a small tidbit of information with no images, specifications or associated details as supporting documentation, I will leave you all hanging on the edge of a 9mm-wide cliff. Sourced from a major (and trusted) friend, we just came across some leaked information indicating that Smith and Wesson will be releasing a Shield 2 point 0 pistol – presumably in a matter of days.

If it helps, we can all speculate blindly on possible design features of the S&W Shield 2.0. For example, I am going with barrel porting AND threading. Or maybe it will come standard with three 32 round Glock magazines. Or maybe the slide will include not one, but TWO mini red dot sight mounting points. See, isn’t this fun?

I was able to obtain a single image of the new Shield. Please keep this between us.

Hopefully we don’t have to wait too long for the S&W Shield 2.0 announcement. I’m running out of new monologue material.
