Shield .45

I called Quantico Tactical again just to bug them about ship times for the 45acp Shield.
She said late June, then she wanted to make sure she said "that is what Smith and Wesson has told us".
Ready to see them but also hope they get it right.

I have one on order with a LGS, $400 cash OTD.
It's showing back ordered in his ordering system, so he doesn't know when he'll see it.

Saw one at the NRA show.

Liked what I saw and hope to get one when they hit the local gun shop.

My old logon and user name from a few years ago no longer works. Had to re-register today.

"We hope in the next 2 weeks. That was the timeline S&W gave us"
 
as far a giving the Shield 45 a year to "get the bugs out" I disagree Its an M&P a smaller reduced thinner version still and M&P. The Glock 43 seems to be a winner even when the first few came out. Sure you had your lemons but for the most part the G43 seems to be doing well. It'll be the same way with the shield 45, I for one will be buying one with out hesitation, as my 3 Shields (2- 9mm one with a safety one without a Manuel safety, and one in 40) have been 100% utterly reliable and amazingly accurate. I expect noting less when the Shield 45 is available.

Kinda like buying a Car, take the Toyota Forerunners for example, They have changed the body style and engines BUT its still a Toyota a well made reliable vehicle.

I can't help but wonder if S&W has any plans to come out with a Performance Center version of the Shield 45. Since they have the PC Shield in 9mm and 40, it would seem like a no brainer.
I think I'll wait a while and see what happens.
 
I'm sure they will, I'm just wondering if it would be a benefit? The porting on a 9mm or 40 seems like it might have a benefit due to the higher pressure cartridges, the 45 I'm wondering if you would have as much benefit or any with the cartridge running at a lot lower pressure? If that's the case, the only advantage is the sights and trigger. I could care less about the sights, I would rather have trijicon night sights, so for me the only upgrade is the trigger. Am I off on my thinking or do you think the porting wouldn't have much if any effect on the way it shoots?
 
There was shield 45 on gunbroker yesterday for a short while. It had a starting bid of $459 and a buy now price of $799. It did not last very long, someone bought it at the Buy now price of $799. They must have wanted it real bad.
 
I heard on Facebook that some distributors are showing them in stock right now, so they could be arriving at anytime in LGS

There are always those people that want the first new thing. I'm sure they'll be available soon enough at normal prices.
 
There's 2 Shield 45's on gunbroker,one has a buy it now price of $469 item#569830913 I'd probably go for it if I haven't already put a deposit & ordered one from my LGS.

I wrote both sellers and both of them have thumb safeties. One auction is gone now, but the other is still there.
