do you think with the intro of the new shield, the 3rd gen like the 3913,3914,908 price will come down and more will become available... or do you think it will be like me and hoard them when i find at a decent price... in the last 3 months ive bought a 3914 $385 and 908 $300 .. i look for them everywhere i go... great guns ( i think i have a problem)

I don't think the new shield will affect the price of used guns or your sickness.

I did want a 3913 or similar metal single stack 9mm. I have the Shield and don't want one as much.

I do think the all metal guns are great though. I wish I never got rid of a few that I had years ago. One a 6906 and a Smaller .45 single stack with a decocker.

I don't think the Shield will have any effect on the traditional guns pricing.

If you spend $400 on a 3913 and $400 on a new Shield, which will be worth more in ten years??
