I bought a Shield 9 back in May. Shoots nice tight groups, goes bang every time and runs everything I feed it.
I bought 2 more Shield 9s at the end of June and close friends bought 4 in various calibers.
Six of the Shields were purchased online from Palmetto State Armory. The exception was 1 bought from Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore. Both were super easy and prompt. SOS took a few extra days before they shipped it but no big deal.
The rebates were submitted online for all 7 Shields and as of today all 7 rebates were received.
Lets recap: 7 great running Shields. Super easy to purchase online. Rebates took a little over 3 months to get a check in the mail, but all were sucessful!
I wish everything in life was like the Shield experience. Great little gun for a super great price!
