No joke, I have visited 16 (actual number) different gun stores in 3 different states since July and not one of them had one or had even seen one in at least a month or two+.
Two of them did have the plastic 'blue gun' that I was able to play with so I was happy for that at least LOL.
That alone should tell us that the thing must really be that good (or that S&W is just deliberately limiting production of the damn thing LOL ).
I assumed that it would be at least another 6 months before I would find one (or at least find one for under MSRP as I don't pay retail for ANYTHING LOL ) so I decided to get the Nano for a dirt cheap price before my 'Permit to Purchase' (silly New Jersey) forms ran out.
I will own a Shield someday too though, nothing wrong with having two nice CCWs/BUGs even though most of us can't even legally carry in this goofy state LOL.
