Actaully, I'm glad the 40 isn't available yet, maybe I can have the money for the 40 when it's released.
Although, with the kick/snappyness of a 40, it might be quite a handful!

One question: what does this gun do that the 3913 or the 908 didn't do? Your ideas cause I dont know that much about them. Its going to be at or just under $400 too.

My 3953 is thinner and weighs only 1 oz more for an all metal gun. I'll stick with my Gen3.

You should have plenty of time, we are still waiting on S&W pistols we ordered for the shop over a year ago.

I bought an LC9 about 6 months ago and I said "I wish S&W would put out a single stack mini 9". I'm happy with the LC9 and this new gun dopesn't really serve a purpose for me, but if I hadn't bought that LC9, I would probably get one. Still, the Lc9 is smaller and lighter, and that matters for pocket carry, which is how I usually carry my LC9. I'm sure this new gun will be a real winner.

No it's not. Shield is definitely smaller and thinner and more than 1 oz. lighter.
Just picked up my Shield. Looks nice so far. Can't wait to get home and put some rounds through it. It is obviously smaller than the C. It is also slightly smaller than my PPS. Trigger is better. It has less pre-travel, it's crisper, but it still has a bit too much over travel. Still on the heavy side, but for carry, that's OK. Better than the previous M&Ps. None of my other M&Ps have safeties so I wasn't thrilled with the inclusion of one on this gun. However, it has a very firm click going from either on or off and it's quite unobtrusive so it will be fairly simple to just ignore. All in all, I'm very pleased. Now just counting down the minutes until shooting time....

Need to see a side by side with an LC9.

I own a LC9 but what sold me on the Shield is the striker fired. I have no problem with the DAO on the Ruger but I think my wife will be more accurate with the Smith.

I become practiced with the LC9 but the trigger really is horrible. If I don't really practice pristine trigger control it will go low left every time. I've thought about sending off to have work done but it may be a better idea for me shooting a M&P Pro for competition to just get the Shield 9.

Is Grabagun.com a pretty good place to buy from?

I've bought a couple Mossberg shotguns from them. They are fast to process and ship, and customer service seems pretty good. They are based in Texas.b

Just got back from lgs he had 5 m&p shields 9 mm, very sweet gun but he wanted $460 ten dollars more than msrp, I think i'm going to sell my kahr cm9 and then shop around for the new shield
I bought one today. $419 out-the-door.....no sales tax in OR. The biggest selling feature, TO ME, over the Kahr was the trigger and the safety. It does pocket carry, with the 7 round mag, but looks like a "large" wallet. I bought a Blackhawk SOTB holster and it is very comfortable while driving.
