  • This is not really a review, but more of a discussion on EDC pistol options that are similar to the Daniel Defense H9. All three are Aluminum Framed pistols (Yes, I know I said Metal in the video) these 3 are optics ready, all 3-share similar round capacity. and all share a similar price point.

    The m&p with an apex trigger in my opinion is the best polymer gun set up. If I wasn’t so deeply invested in Glock I’d totally make the switch

    The 2.0 metal is my favorite pistol, accurate, fast, feels great in the hand, it has made me abandon polymer frame pistols. The weight is not so much more that it makes a difference when carrying but to me it definitely feels like it recoils less

      I'll be getting the 2.0 metal competitor soon, I'm left handed and don't know how I've never tried a M&P 2.0 yet. Crazy the metal weighs the exact same as the polymer versions. But they're aluminum, they should have done steel with the 5in competitor though.

      I have it, and yes it does. I bought an XL when it first came out and I haven't gotten any other variant but I told myself that when that came out in Legion I would get it. My only negative is that they didn't make the barrel as long as the XL.

    Good video. Can I recommend a possible improvement for future multi-gun comparos? Use the Test: 10 rounds, 10 seconds on a B-8 at 10 yards. I think it's a Hackathorn Drill and would force you to push on the trigger to make time.

    Nice review. I too am very sensitive to trigger characteristics, particularly feel and location of the break. My EDC is a rotation between the P365 (X, Spectre, & AXG Legion) a Wilson DS, and Staccato C. Knowing where to anticipate the break for me is very important.

    • @rdrgear

    Waiting for the H9 Gen 2 before I reconsider the acquisition. It has potential.
    However, personal principle forbids me from purchasing first-year [generation] products. Whether they be cars, guitars, guns or what have you; I simply will not buy the initial offering. These principles are rigidly unflinching and non-negotiable.
    Just take a look at SIG folks. They have a habit of making _you_ their beta testers. Need I say more?
    Make pragmatic decisions - avoid emotional impulses.
    Stay classy my friends.
