Had some 9mm 2.0s show up today. I've got a few in the black, no safety, 4.25" and fde, safety 5.0".
I'm hoping to try the 5.0 on Wed to see how it shoots but for now, some quick thoughts.
Comes packaged just like the 1.0
There's enough cosmetic differences that a person familiar with the 1.0 will have no trouble telling the 2 apart.
I'm liking the new stipling on the frame. If you've handled the shield in .45, it feels just like that.
The new med/lg back strap is a nice touch. I usually use the med on the 1.0 but I'm liking the feel of the slightly large back strap.
The trigger is much improved. Little to no grit, about 5.5-6# according to my cheap trigger gauge. Short reset with a much more tactile and audible reset. As mentioned already, it feels a lot like the PRO trigger. If you're used to the APEX, you're probably going to still want to put those in. It may smooth/loosen up with some shooting.
Besides the contours on the slide, it would appear the barrels/recoil assy are the same as the 1.0. I've tried swapping slides between the frames and they appear to work but the 2.0 slide won't lock back on a 1.0 frame. I don't care enough yet to try shooting mixed gen slides/frames yet. I'm sure there'll be some good youtube evidence shortly if there isn't already.
One of my 1.0 holsters works with the 2.0 gun but another doesn't without a lot of force. I may be able to make some minor adjustments to the holster to get the 2.0 to fit.
Out of the box, it looks like a nice pistol but 2.0 may be a little much... maybe M&P 1.5.
