I called Crimson Trace to see if there was any update on the availability date for a laser for the Shield. The nice lady said right now her info shows November availability. I was hoping fall availability meant sooner, but I guess we'll just have to wait.

Wow. That's a long wait. And they're probably going for $300 or so, I imagine? By then I'll probably get used to the gun with no laser and end up not buying it (like I always have). And with that money, I'll probably get another gun.

I imagine the CT laser for the Shield will be its Laserguard type that attaches to the front of the trigger guard. The version for the PM9 lists for $239 and I saw prices as low as $173. I would expect the actual prices for the Shield version to be in that ballpark.
