Palmetto State Armory Shield deal.

I get probably 6-8 emails a day from various gun retailers with their lastest sales. Well PSA got me today. 9mm Shield plus 3 stripped PSA blem AR lowers. My total was $417 shipped to my buddies FFL which means no transfer fee for me. Sounds kinda high but after the rebate it will be back down to a normal price before the rebates plus I'll have 3 stripped lowers to fiddle with. I told myself no more AR's as I just finished my 5 and final build but what the heck. I'm gonna give the shield a try as I usually carry a 3913 or 4026. If I don't like it I can sell the shield and lowers and probably make money. Anyone else try this deal too?

I bought a shield 45 from whittaker $315 before the rebate, shipped to a friend FFL so no extra charge for me.

I love both my shield 9mm and the 45 too. Only took three days to get to me

Did you take advantage of the rebates?

Yes on taking the rebate. We have a really good Rual King store here and buy most of my new guns there . If they don't have it in the store , I go to their RKguns.com and buy from their warehouse and have shipped to their store for $10 and do the transfer there for free and was really saving for a M&P 2.0 5" but I'll see how the Shield goes. I'm usually a 3rd Gen kinda guy as last 2 "plastic " Smiths didn't last long with me.

Took delivery today of my Shield .45 w/o safety. Ordered on the 5th. Took a while to arrive but not complaining since shipping was free. With rebate and transfer it was three bills. Good enough for me. First time I used this particular dealer for a transfer. It was a good way to break the ice with them. I'll be using them more.
