How much did you pay for your M&P Shield?

$422 + $30 shipping + $20 transfer = $472 for a 9mm. LGS has them for $450 + $32 tax, no transfer fee = $482. For the $10 savings, I can buy a couple rounds of 9mm. ;)
 
419 plus tax

I live in Massachusetts and almost all gun shops have a waiting list for the Shield 9mm. When my name came up I was pleased to pay the 419 as most shops were higher. My state does not have many guns like this on the approved list. The Ruger LC9 is the only other viable choice in this category.
 
Last night I saw one (.40) at my LGS with a build date and test fire of 3/175 (that's Monday of this week!). I had go go back this morning and make it mine. They had 3 more.

Paid MSRP/449. It was the build date of this week that made me take the plunge plus the fact that I have to send my FS40 back to Smith this week.

All 3 of my LGSs have them in stock at the same price. Most of the build dates were in May on the others.
 
449 here in CA. It's a steal, considering only LEO can purchase them here in CA and I still had to wait a year to get one. I went with the .40 as I get free ammo from my Dept.
 
$449+ fees here in CA for my Shield 9. Been waiting a year, searching and searching, but its finally mine. At that price the card just jumped out of my pocket. After this long waiting I would have shelled out $500+. Luckily some people still have values when it comes to prices no matter the market.

Just picked up my first privately owned firearm 9mm version. By the way this is my first post.....:D

419.96+35.70 tax+25.00 CA DROS APP=$480.65 Out the door for the non-compliant version in California.

Was about to walk out the door when the salesman just so happened to ask if I was LEO. I didn't think to ask for the other version myself, I was all smiles when he pulled one out from the back room. He said CA complaint version's are really extremely hard to come buy.
 
I traded, three guns that I no longer wanted, for my brand new, 3 day old Shield 9. All told, I had about $500 into the guns, but best I could have sold them for privately would have been around $350-400 probably, so I am not unhappy at all with the trade. Out with the old and in with the new!
 
I patiently waited for any LGS to get one in at a reasonable price, didn't happen so I used Cope's Distributing and had it shipped and insured to my FFL for $442.74. I am hoping it is more concealable than the 40c I currently carry, just to give me a few more options.

Bought mine 06/10/13 for $420.00 out the door.

Walked in to a newer gun/bike shop in my area and he had a 40 and a 9mm Shield, and .22 long rifle ammo. It was my lucky day to say the least.
 
Shield 9mm, $425 plus tax. I could have driven and hour each way to a larger LGS and paid $399.95, but figured my time was worth the $25. The store I purchased from had plenty in 9mm and a few 40.
 
Picking up a second one this week. $370 plus tax. About $400 OTD. And I had to change the sights on a Sig slide for the shop. Probably swapped out a few bucks that way.
 
Started calling Smith & Wesson dealers from the closest out....had three waiting for theirs to come in but had down payments on those ...2 said they didn't know when they would get any .... then called a shop 35 miles away and they just unpacked one in 9mm and wasn't in the case yet...1 hour later it was mine at msrp $449+ tax :D
 
I feel bad seeing some people are still having trouble finding Shields. They are like squirrels around here...see them in just about every LGS for 395-399
