    Rebate checks?

    I submitted one in July for a Shield45. NOTHING. The website doesn't even show a record of me submitting it. I did it all online, so I know it was done

    Does anyone NOT own a Yeti?

    I do know that the Yeti coolers hold ice for several days. But in my entire life, I have only needed a cooler to use for several days a handful of times and then I was able to spend $2 for a new bag of ice when needed. Those coolers cost me about $30.

    Replaced M&P Shield .45 Followers

    Time to join

    After purchasing my 6th S&W handgun, (not counting 3 I sold when I was younger), I thought it was time to join this forum. And thanks to this forum, I was able to figure out how to put the Shield 45 seven round magazine back together!
