Default My Shield is in

Got a call today from Cabelas saying my 9mm Shield is in. Woo-Hoo!! I was on their list since the first week of May. Said that they stopped adding people to the list when they hit 49 people. Told me they got 3 in today. Hang in there everyone they will show up eventually. The firearms checkout lady said her husband was #37 on the list and had never seen one in person yet. Hope she doesnt take it home tonight and try it out.(Kidding) Come on Wednesday 2pm!!!

Christmas morning at the sshakerr family.

While at Cabela's try the Desanti pocket holster for the Glock 26 (model E1). I paid $21 and it fits perfect. I also purchased the Galco IWB C129L also for the Glock 26 at the price of $26. (See pictures)

I heard at this one place they had like 150 people on a waiting list. That is crazy considering how easy I found mine. I don't think I could have handled a waiting list. I'm too impatient.

I was on the XDS wait list and a Shield came available at another LGS and liked it better so bought the Shield and canceled the XDS. Very happy with the Shield.

Thanks guys. I just picked up the M&P22 less than 2 weeks ago thinking that it would be a while before I saw my shield. It does kinda feel like christmas here!!

Finally got to try out the new gun yesterday. Very happy to say NO issues at all. Put about 75 rounds thru it. Was a little low and left at first but it was all operator error. Adjusted my hand and grip and it came around just fine. Just smaller than what im used to shooting. Gun felt good and control was great. Well worth the time waiting for one. Uplula mag loader is on the way. My other two 9's came with loaders, but you need something for theses ones.

Great for you I asked my local gun store to put me on the list for a Shield 40 only and was number two on the list it took 5 weeks and now mine is almost two months old and has about 200 rounds through it. I am getting better with it being a 40 caliber which is quite snappy in recoil, being a 40 caliber shooter I learned to tame it quite quickly.

Getting your new gun is one of the greatest things except for maybe Christmas morning and finding what you really wished for instead of socks and underwear!
