Question Many Shield Posts

There's been so many Shield posts what do all of you think about the Shield having it's own category? Seems it would make sense because since it was released that's mostly all that gets posted here. Just an idea.

It may simply be due to it being new... The Flavor of the week...
But if the number of Shield specific threads remains high, it may be a good idea.

As long as it's an M&P Shield, it will most likely remain here with the other M&P's.

Give it a month or two. I think the fervor will fade so that the shield only occupies its proportional space.

True, I'll bet that the whole of the M&P line has got a boost from it though, & that's a good thing

Hey, I love any decent range reports, but I suspect we need a standard format and a standard range for groups...

I think they do need a new category. I personally don't care for the Shield and would like it to stay separate from the original M&P line.

I dont get it personally.

oooooh! aaaaah!, a single stack polymer handgun... what a revolutionary idea. lol

Not sure why they call it the shield, it's not likely that law enforcement will use it other than maybe a backup.

That's great! Find something you don't like and ostracize anyone who does. It IS in the M&P line. You don't have to open anything you don't like, but let those who do have the opportunity. They are doing the same for you. Live and let live.

It's an M&P, so it should stay in the M&P forum.

As for all of the posts, they will likely die down a bit after a while, but right now it is a hot commodity and, after buying one for my wife and shooting it and shooting someone else's .40 cal Shield yesterday, I can understand the hoopla.

I never ostracized anyone. Where do you see that? Hmm?

We've heard the suggestion, and we'll be watching the traffic.
