Default M&P shield Purchase
Hey everyone, new here to the forum and just want to say hello and tell you a little about how I got my shield.

I started off with a SD9VE and love it, the trigger pull is heavy but overall great gun with a good price point. My dream gun that I have been wanting for a while is a shield 9mm. Yesterday I finally decided I would buy one, being from New Hampshire I had a few different gun stores around my area so I called 10 different stores but everyone was sold out and I was told that the wait would be into February.

This morning I woke up to an email from one of the stores and the manager had informed me they just received shipment and I better come asap if I wanted one. So I headed over and picked mine up for $399.95! Happy about my purchase!


(Don't mind the finger print smudges/oil on it, cleaned her right after the picture!)

Congrats. I really, really like my Shield in 9mm. 399 is not a bad price, either. Several months back they were selling at suggested retail (465) in many places.

For OWB, I found this holster to do a fine job: Amazon.com: Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm OWB Shield Holster R/H Black - 0322: Sports & Outdoors@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ox6FPV7AL.@@AMEPARAM@@41ox6FPV7AL

This one is without the bodyshield: Amazon.com: Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9 mm OWB NO Shield Holster R/H Black - 0174: Sports & Outdoors@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51PmwNyTM%2BL.@@AMEPARAM@@51PmwNyTM%2BL

Good luck, and give us a range report!

Welcome to the forum, and especially welcome to the Shield club. You will love this pistol, have fun and shoot the heck out of it! Do you have your C.C?

Welcome from Louisville. I'm a revolver guy, but hear great things about the Shield. If I had the money I might snatch one up.

Thank you! I do have my CC, I got a blackhawk holster for in the waistband, it feels like a suede material and actually sits nicely against my skin. The holster was $8.95, I will be looking into a few different ones of better quality most likely!

Thank you and thanks for the suggestion, I will look into that for an OWB holder!

Might see if the DeSantis "Tuck This II" IWB holster suits you. Can recommend Hornady Critical Duty 135g +P for EDC ammo.
