The M&P 2.0 Compact 4" is an exact carbon copy duplicate of the G19. It 100% conceals exactly the same because it is the same. It's the first gun that legitimately copies the Glock 19 for exterior dimensions, capacity, and barrel length. Everything else is either bigger, has a shorter barrel, holds fewer rounds, or 2-3 of those things all at once. The M&P 2.0 is the first one that finally copied the perfect formula Glock has had all these years. Right down to the bore axis, ease of complete disassembly, and aftermarket support offered from a major manufacturer putting out big volume.
Only the 2.0 has a better grip texture than Glock, better ergonomics than Glock, and can be field stripped without pulling the trigger unlike Glock. Also costs less...but trigger is worse...breaks too far to the rear and isn't as good on the break...need an Apex flat face forward set.

Just picked up an SAR B6P (cz 75 design.) Extremely cheap and I couldn’t be happier with it. Put 100 rounds though it and it was the most accurate handgun I’ve had the chance to shoot. And this is comparing it to guns 2-3x the price.

Had my eyes on a Five SeveN. Hipster I know but figured I should do it before some spree shooter uses one and scares everyone because "muh armor piercing rounds".

I have to say though after shooting my buddies CZ .45 I was blown away, if I decide to pick up another pistol its most likely gonna be CZ. From 25 yards out I immediately hit the target my first shot and kept consistently shooting all the way through till mag was empty. Gun is very ergonomic, smooth feeling to it while shooting and the overall quality is there, even going from a .40 cal glock to a .45 CZ I didn't notice much of a difference in recoil. Love that gun.

Edit: I'd also like to point out there is a ton of elitism in the firearms community. A bunch of guys out there parading their $2.5K Noveske with a trijicon ACOG around and still can't make that gucci chit shoot better than 6 MOA cause they only shoot 100 rounds a year. There are a lot of legit shooters out there that need sub MOA capabilities but those guys are few and far between. Hell my wife's cousin deer hunts with a BCA 6.5 grendel hooked up to a poverty pony lower and drops em every time. Gear matters but skill is still #1

Are you using the same belt, same holster, same carry position, etc, for both? What are they?
I know what the differences are as I own them both. They are exactly the same size/dimensions.

See, ow we're getting somewhere. There is a huge difference between saying the 2.0 doesn't conceal as well because it's 1mm bigger (or whatever), and saying the rough grip texture was uncomfortable to your skin.
The 2.0 compact will conceal exactly the same as/as well as the G19. But, some people are bothered by the grip texture being too tough on their skin. Thankfully it doesn't bother me at all, it's simply an upgraded G19 basically

MAIN POINT OF SELLING BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN PISTOL IS EXTREME PRICE OF WEAPON AND CARTRIDGE.
BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS WEAPON OF MAN WHO WEARS EXPENSIVE ITALIAN FASCIST SUIT OF HAND SEWING, DRIVE HUGE EXPENSIVE NAZI MERCEDES OF A.M.G. SHOP, SAIL ON MASSIVE YACHT TO GREEK ISLANDS. I THINK YOU GET PICTURE. BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS WEAPON THAT SAYS IS NO SUCH THING AS CONCERN OF MONEY.
FOR MAN WITHOUT EXPENSIVE SUIT, BIG BLACK MERCEDES, AND MASSIVE YACHT, BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS FOR PRETENDING OF BE RICH LIKE BLACK GANGSTER OF AMERICAN CITY WITH GOLD CHAINS OF LOW QUALITY AND JEWELS OF COLORED GLASS. WHEN YOU EXPLAIN USE OF BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN PISTOL IS ONLY FOR SHOOT MAN WITH BULLET VEST WITH CARTRIDGE ILLEGAL TO CIVILIAN, THIS MAN HAS NUCLEAR RAGE. WHOLE IDENTITY OF THIS MAN IS SPENT IN PRETEND PISTOL SHOWS HE IS RICH. IS VERY AMUSE.
FOR REST OF WORLD THERE IS 9 MILLIMETERS OF LUGER WHICH IS SAME WOUND FOR COST LESS.

Glock 19 vs M&P 2.0 Compact 9mm 4"

Note how in this one the G19 completely covers up the 2.0. They are effectively identical in size. Some may find the aggressive grip texture of the 2.0 uncomfortable against the skin. Talon grips would fix that, if one were so inclined. Doesn't bother me though.
