Ruger doesn't offer any of their newer pistols in .40 & I don't like the SR series pistols. I do like 40 even though it has fallen out of popularity somewhat. I wanted a striker fired pistol in the same size range as a G-23,G-19 so I opted for the S&W 2.0 40 compact with a 4" barrel. Roughly the same size as the aforementioned Glocks with 13 rounds magazine capacity. My initial impression is I like it a lot. The grip has a really rough texture & 4 interchangeable grip inserts. I had seen some reviews where people said they didn't like the trigger but it feels pretty good to me for a striker gun. I haven't gotten to shoot it yet but should over the weekend.
