I know this is somewhat of an older thread but the shield 45 is the 2.0. It was never named the 2.0 but all of the features were put into the shield 45 prior to actually releasing the update for the rest of the guns.

As for the actual gun itself, I love my shield 45. I shoot it quite often and used it for my LTC qualification and did fantastic. Not to mention i bought it during the 50 dollar rebate so it was a win win for me. Recoil isnt bad at all for a small 45. My only gripe was the slide lock is not an actual release. No big deal, I just filed the sharp corner edge of the lock and now it releases better than my full size m&p 45 2.0.

If you are thinking about getting it, you will love it. It's not as smooth to shoot as my full sized m&p 45 2.0 but after 4 or 5 rounds, you wont even notice it.
