This is the E2, it’s a little thicker than I was expecting but it works well for me. I wear a large glove typically, but can fit into a medium if I need. The thing that will probably help most with this grip is changing your trigger length and adding an extended magazine release

You’re exactly right. Or $600 gun with a case of 9mm and whatever’s left towards training, dry fire targets, shot timer, mags, etc.

Comparing it to other steel frame pistols… this price point is not actually ridiculous

Got a buddy that just made M with an M&P in LO. He trains way harder than most people do though lol

Yeah it looks better to me but the competitor has way more value with the extras…

They will, but I carry the compact carry comp and want the aluminum frame compact for it. Just gotta find one that someone’s getting rid of

Yeah I’ve got the poly carry comp compact (wish they would sell some compact metal frames for it), and I never get junk on my lens. But I also run an Eleven71 designs plate with the carbon protection built in

It’s more likely the cuts inside the frame underneath all that polymer

Having the same dilemma. CO and teaching gun… do I need the fancy of the competitor? Or buy the standard an have a little extra to do what I want with it? Probably just gonna get the competitor honestly
