Talk me into or out of a shield

Well, TGO has spoken. Now, where are you guys getting these for 375$ OTD?

I haven't seen them for $375 OTD very often, but I frequently see them for $325-$350 in LNIB condition on several on Facebook and firearms classified sites.

Get you a Glock and call it good. I'm joking I like the Shield it is one of two products S&W makes that I like. If you don't like it one of us would be more than happy to take it off your hands.

I got mine back I think in may.  I got it at gunborker.com for $339 shipped.  Love it.   Chose it over a G43 and G19!

Smokey Mountain Knife Works has had them for $329 the last three or four times I have stepped in the door.

Guns n More likely has them at least close to that

I love my shield in 9mm I would own a glock 43 but bucks are hard to come by on a fixed income.... :ugh:

They always leave us 40 guys out. They must figure with the shear devastation of the mighty 40; we don’t need any extra rounds.

 

I would have ordered a few for my cousin.  He loves his .40S&W Shield.

Here's a really good reason not to. :popcorn:

Looks interesting! Curious as to street pricing and size comparo.

The shield is a good little pistol all around. If I had to point out the negatives:

 

1.) Too thin. It grips well but I found that I had to consciously not put so much finger on the trigger or I would be pulling left. I don't own one though, so this is likely just me.

2.) The trigger isn't my favorite. not the pull, just the feel. It has that hinged M&P plastic trigger thingy. Every shot felt like it was going to snap in half.

 

Outside of that, I had no complains. It's not very snappy despite the size. I would carry one if I didn't have other preferences. I seriously doubt you'd go home cursing yourself for buying one. Plus, if you hated it... it would resell easy.

Have a Shield .40 that I carry every day. It's a fantastic carry gun. Small enough to not feel it, but big enough to still shoot well with. To me it's just the perfect amount of carry gun, It really hits the sweet spot. Haven't had a single problem with it. Working on getting the wife a Shield 9 with a safety (she demands a safety).
