I can't believe 9 mm Shield didn't sell.

[Gimme-three-steps]

It's bigger than the XDS and it's not offered in 9mm.

No but it is a Glock-until Glock make a single stack 9mm, the Shield 9mm is my EDC ( may carry my Glock 36 if conditions call for it-hell in the pass I have carried both)

The problem with the shield is that it's capacity. I would love to have one maybe as a backup but the capacity just doesn't sit well with me.

I loved my first M&P9c that I sold like a ******* and finally bought another one last week. I love love love love the pistol, good capacity, great accuracy.

The G26 is another weapon that I own and I love it, but not as much as my M&P, I also have the 33,and 36.

my biggest waste of money was the sig p250 when it first came out and it was a ***.

I carry my Shield 9 with an 8 round mag plus one in the pipe & at least one extra mag. But then I do not carry it to places i anticipate a high capacity gun fight. For that I carry a FS M&P 40 with an extra mag or two.

For me where I live that price is high, way high!! But may be perfectly fine for your area..So it's hard to say just why it didn't sell.. I think it may have sold in the $369.00 range but then again you're talking gun show prices that I always find high..George

All the LGS's here in S. Florida sell the Shield for MSRP which is $449. They feel that until until the supply catches up they will sell for that price, & always get it. My boss refused a few offers of $425, but as the show was winding down, he finally accepted. He's getting another Shield 9mm this week. Hopefully more XDS's too. We could have sold 6 XDS's in 45 this weekend. GARY

I help a guy out who does gun shows every weekend. When we loaded up the trailer with guns to take to Miami, I noticed a new 9 mm Shield he didn't have last weekend. I figured it would sell quick. Well I pushed the gun, & while lot's of people knew about it, none bought it. Is the mad rush over? GARY

I've seen a number of Shields not sell on Gunbroker lately and many were below MSRP. I've seen several not sell for $440 that had free shipping. Things have definitely calmed down when it comes to guns. Still not there when it comes to ammo though. But that is slowly improving too. I've been seeing lots of 223 for sale; some 9mm; but almost no 22 LR.

Yep the XDS's in 45 is a nice gun! I like it! Don't have one and never shot one though! Good looking and solid brand name gun! G

Well if I'm going to a place where I anticipate a high capacity gun fight-first off I ain't gonna go. But if I have to go-I'll be a totin my mini 14 with all 5 30 rounders

Availability is improving..prices are coming down! Need ammo to follow suit.

9 is getting a little better. Tons of Blazer Brass for 12.95 around here

I think a big part of the decision making is that many have come to realize finding 9mm ammo will NEVER be easy so they are looking for other calibers

Lets hope they dont look for .22LR.

Could be with the AWB threat still fresh in the minds of 2a supporters that everyone is going after the items most likely to be banned. I'm glad I have my .40 shield and would love to have a 9mm Shield as well, it isn't on my radar for purchases because I'm busy racking up on SCAR & AR mags, along with M&P standard capacity mags if I can ever find them in stock again.

SCAR......16s or 17s?

One of those has been on my list for quite some time. But the ole lady has trouble giving me the green light after she's seen the prices lol.

17s.... And I have 45 OEM mags for it!

Looking at optics now, IDK if I'm going to go with an Elcan 1.5-6 or the upcoming VCOG, I've looked at Leupold Mark 6 & USO 1-8 but I've disregarded both as options, USO w/mount will be stupid heavy and the Mark 6 has a small red dot and crappy battery life compared to the Elcan or VCOG.

I plan to buy a little brother to the 17s soon as well, but I have a nice DDM4V1 LW w/ Aimpoint T-1 on a LaRue mount to hold me over for a bit till I find one at a reasonable price.

I know ammo is hard to come by....deal with it every day as everyone in Northern Va comes into my store to get it from me everyday. I can't understand why other places are having issues getting 9 vs 40...on avg I probably get 20-30 CASES of 9 for every ONE case of 40 I get in.

Heck get more .22, .223/5.56 and .45 right now then I get .40.

Why someone would pay an extra $150 for the new XDS when a Shield is available is beyond me. Practically the same firearm that accomplish the same exact thing.

I own both. I'm more accurate w/my XDs.

 

[Rubix^2]

I have been wanting to shoot a shield, but can't find one anywhere.

There is a reason you cant find them on the shelves, lol

My LGS has a shield for $419, and and XDs 9 for $659.

I handled both in the store. The Springfield has a nicer feeling grip, but the Shield had a better trigger. That price difference is ridiculous.
