Just didn't like seeing that #399. Had to make it an even 400.
Edited: Dang it!!! Someone beat me to it...oh well.

9MM
I ordered mine yesterday. All in with shipping, less than $430. Add FFL and about list price. A good deal in today's market IMHO.
1Left $395
Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm Single Stack, 8 Round
Good luck!

Can't go wrong with the XDS! Haven't shot it yet, but it feels nice. Did you get 45 or 9?

For anyone in Wisconsin, I saw a couple at the Ace Hardware in Wisconsin Rapids. They don't think they ship though. $419.99.

It's a 45. The only ammunition I could find was Federal hollow-point self defense. I shot five of them, and it was nice. The recoil is not bad at all - about like my XDm 9. Tomorrow the local Gander Mountain will have its ammo shipment in. They said the 45's don't go real fast, but they will be gone by the end of the day, so I'm going in the morning.

Recoil the same as XDM9?? That's a pretty soft shooter if I recall my experiences with the XDM9. That'd be very good for a tiny 45! I better go try one out!

I just picked up a Shield and a XDS 9mm at LGS. They had 2 of the Shields and 1 XDS so I got one of each to make sure I didn't regret it : ) I did what someone recommended here. I went to S&W site and searched for local LGS. I started dialing down the list and found one a little over an hour away that had them in stock. Made the drive and saw they also had the XDS 9.

No I haven't shot them yet but so far I like the feel of the XDS in my hands better. I have medium sized hands so that's just a personal preference. XDS also feels a little top heavier. Like the sights on the XDS. The slide on the Shield is a lot stiffer so I'm not sure if it needs more break in? But it does take some effort to rack the slide back fully.

The slide on the Shield is very heavy. Heaviest of any pistols I've ever shot or owned.

$349 is LE/MIL price for a shield. Are you talking about a full sized 9mm?
