any word on MSRP?

$449.00 is what I have seen.

 

[carman9941]

also sounds like the trigger is plenty smooth right from the start which is good, I have seen post about people wanting to put apex parts in them, I would like them to come from the manufacturer with a nice trigger. when you factor in the extra costs of the upgrades it changes the price point of the gun, Very happy to see S&W advancing in the market place. IMHO

WOW!!!!! not a bad price at all, thanks

Every company is coming out with their version of a single stack 9mm pocket gun. Every one is larger than the Kahr PM9. In Smith's case, the Shield is .68 inches longer, .05 inches thicker, .6 inches higher, and 3.1 ounces heavier. As much as I like Smith (3913 Ladysmith, 17-4, 442 no lock, 649-3, 36 no dash) I will stick with my PM-9, smaller, lighter and goes bang every time I have pulled the trigger (approx 800 rounds).

I agree, I've got a CW-9 that is a true pocket gun, even with CT added to it....and the Kahr is less than $350.

The leaked specs where larger which I'm glad it's smaller. Really going to take a good luck at one as soon as I can. MSRP is doable and if the trigger is improved that's a big bonus. The CM9 trigger is one of the best DA triggers out there IMO.

 

[Rolex John]

I've got one ordered - should have it next week.

 

[Cervantes2010]

Why the thumb safety on a DAO pistol? Don't need one on my M7P 9c,so why would one be needed on the Shield?

Skip

 

[wachuko]

Local Shoot Straight nor Gander Mnt. has it....

 

[lostarts]

The local rep brought one in 9 by today....trigger is pretty decent. Probably the best feeling carry gun out there

I'll be getting one - just have to see how much of a discount at the upcoming gun show. If not then a Pro Series. Good segment for S&W to hit.

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

It really doesn't look that much smaller than te M&P9c
Plus the name makes me want to see if it has wings on the sides for the active girl on those heavy days

 

[icemn]

half inch smaller and 3 oz and a few rounds lighter than an M&P 9c. I dunno. May take a closer look if and when one shows up in Ma. Until then, I'm more than satisfied with my CS9.

This is what I thought also. If you already own a 9c I don't see the value. If you don't own a 9c, I could see considering it.

 

[A2 Stippling]

Looks like a cool gun...but I agree - if you own a M&Pc 9mm, or an LC9, or a PF9, or a CM9...or other single stack compacts...this is just another gun which will fill your safe.

NOT saying I will not get one...just not in a hurry. Let others figure out what is wrong with it for the first year or so...just like the Glocks and every other gun. Enjoy!
