Just as a fwiw.....while I was waiting for the callback I talked with one of the clerks. He said he got 40 Shields in a week or so ago and he had 12 leftover to sell after all his pre orders were filled. I remember seeing the post on FB last week and decided to take a ride out just to look at his shop. Had no real intention to buy another but saw that he still had 3 left. Really like the feel of the the 40 so what the heck
Point is that maybe the supply is loosening up a bit as by no means would I say it is a big big store to get 40 of them in one shot
Still had 2 left when I rolled out of there. .....some dude was looking at one of the Shields but opted to order a MA compliant Kahr 9.
