Let me apologize in advance for another Shield thread as well as for the limited scope of this thread.

That said, is there anyone out there who has taken delivery (either personally or as a shop owner) of the California Compliant M&P Shield.

I am not asking about Californians who have them from SSE, LEOs or other routes. I am asking about actual California Compliant versions.

S&W customer service claims that they have delivered these "special" versions, but I have yet to hear of anyone who actually has one.

Thanks!

just go to your lgs and talk to them most can order then since only ppl in CA would buy them so not as much demand for them compared to the other model which is available in 48 states since MA has their own also
 
I agree I don't know if anyone outside of CA would oder one on purpose

Unless you like the ugly rooster comb LCI on the top. If my wife decides to get one, she will SSE it. Better hurry on the SSE, as the dems have that in their sights as it were...
 
There's a huge thread on this over at Calguns.net. I don't think anyone over there has or has seen a CA Shield.
 
Been monitoring this for last 4 months, I haven't seen anyone get one. A few out of state dealers have them in their catalog(Don't know why). None avail on gun broker and My Three FLL Dealers have long backorders on them and haven't seen any. S&W have dropped the ball and slinging BS to customers and dealers about their shipments. I have also been waiting for magazines for my M&P for 5 months and still nothing. Lame!
 
M&P Shield in Ca.

Maybe S&W thinks that if they starve us long enough maybe we'll get some legislation passed to bring us back into the freedom of the union? Well we are trying!
I would love to get my hands on the Shield, but like everyone else I've heard nothing and seen nothing about it arriving in Ca. At least S&W could give it's Ca. customers the respect they deserve? And give us a solid date of arrival? I'm so disappointed with this whole mess…it's mind boggling.
So I'll just keep on waiting and wandering if and when we'll ever see this little gun in Ca.:mad:
 
I assumed as much, i would love to see the process which would allow a serial number to be punched into a casing with any kind of repetition and still be readable on the tip of a firing pin lol

Would have to make the pins out of Unobtainium
 
Lawsuits are pending to drop a verdict in the next few months over the Cali roster. Guns are starting to drop off now, most obviously Ruger.

We need this win badly over here.

Well, we need them all, but this is particuly insane as it requires technology that does not exist for a new gun to get on the roster.

This is the problem. CA has been on this kick for years and finally got it through the legislature.

The process has been done and found that it can work. They put a unique mark on the firing pin and it stamps the primer as it's fired. The problem that the legislature refuses to admit is two fold. First, no one makes a gun like this.
Second, even though it's been shown to work, it's unreliable. Further, it doesn't matter. Current technology can already match casings to guns and bullets to bores. Why do we need another law like this? The answer is, we don't.

Unfortunately, companies, like Ruger, dropping out of CA altogether hurts our cause dramatically. This is exactly what the anti gun crowd wants. They don't really care about catching criminals. They just want to improve their illusion of control.
