I believe the Shield was a surprise announcement at this hears NRA convention. It was unveiled there, and then was on store shelves like the next day or a couple days after... That's what he meant...
S&W kept it a secret on the original shield. We'll just have to wait and see what happens if a 45 one gets released or not...

I think a Shield in 45gap would be a waste of time for S&W. It's failed sale wise everywhere else and the only reason you see any LE agencies using them is because they were given the guns for free. Grant it, it fits smaller hands but the ammo is far and few between and more expensive than 45acp.

Thanks Ship.
Shield in .45 ACP? Sign me up!
Might be easier to make work than the .40. The .45 ACP is lower pressure and has a less snappy recoil than the .40.
I have the .40 Shield and the 9c. Don't need another compact or subcompact, but not sure that I could resist.
