I purchased my Shield outright same as many others have stated. But now that I have a Shield, I am considering selling one of my non M&P 9mm's since I wonder how much I will use it. Not in a hurry, but if the right deal comes up.
did you sale/trade to get the m&p shield.

I bought my Shield 9 outright. I've got a Glock 19 Gen 3 and my wife has a Glock 26 Gen 4. I'm seriously considering trading her 26 for another Shield.
That is exactly what I did. I never carried the Sigma and it wasn't hard to sell for me. I couldn't have sold any of my Glocks or even my Judge yet. Looks like the next gun to leave is the Taurus Mil Pro or the TCP. It won't be hard to get rid of those either...

I got mine at such a good price in my mind it didn't require any departures of my collection. (.40 shield 389.99 and 9mm shield 399.99) This is maybe 2 weeks after release when people still didn't even know what I was talking about when I said "Do you have a S&W Shield you can get for me." I was greeted with the phrase "You want a shield?" probably 90% of the time.
Head to my dealer now to trade my 642 towards a shield. My dealer hS only gotten 3 of these in the last year and currently has one now that I don't want to get away.. Guess ill be buying another j frame in the near future! Lol

Sorta...... I sold my Kel-tec PF9 & P-11 to buy my M&P9C. While I love the compact, I quickly realized it was to thick to wear while sitting in my office chair, all day long. So.... I wen't out and bought a Shield to go with the 9C. Problem solved!

No. But I may sell my Walther PPK/S .380 now. The Shield is the same size and carries the same number of rounds as the Walther. But the Shield is much lighter and has the punch of the .40 S&W round.

Old thread but why not...
When I heard the Shield was coming out, I dumped my PF9 and my 9c because I suspected the market would tank on them and neither really fit the bill. The shield was the perfect compromise.
I never trade or sell at a gun store so I lost nothing on either of the guns.
I am pretty patient and will not pay inflated prices so I waited a year until the Shields were in stock for normal prices, carrying a 642CT in the meantime. My LGS always has plenty on hand for $399 OTD.
I suppose I was smart to wait because a couple days ago, my Brother-In-Law surprised me with a Shield 9 as a gift for helping him land a very good job.
Patience is a virtue indeed

It sure doesn't look like the 9c has tanked.

So there I was....
I was a new poster so I just grabbed any old post even if it was a year old...
I replied like it was current. No biggie I figured, who notices post dates????
I waited for my Shield until I could buy it for $335. Even then, it was too much. While I was waiting for them to come in stock I bought quite a few third gens and I can promise you one thing:
The Shield will go LONG before the third gens....

Sold a Kahr CM9 to "partially" fund the Shield.
Sold a S&W 6906 to fund the Kahr.
Sold a Berretta 92FS to fund the 6906.
I cry about selling all of them except the Kahr. If you can afford it, keep what you got and get another.

When I found a Ruger SP101 I liked, I sold my PF-9 and the proceeds were applied toward the eight shot 22 LR revolver. Have a couple other pistols on the "someday" list, but will not be selling the Shield to get anything else.
