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

[fshnfvr]

$450 out the door once I finally found one. Had several shops tell me it won't be out for a monthl

 

[lawman90]

$389 for the pistol, $411 out the door.

I went in to one of my LGS's (a statewide chain with an indoor range) for the maiden range visit with mine and to compare it to my 9C. They received one sometime during the week. They had a $499 price tag on it. I have a pretty good relationship with one of their managers. He asked what I paid for mine and when I told him, his jaw dropped and eyes popped.

$390 is a great price. Buds is selling them at $449 plus you have to be a VIP member which is another $25 bucks. They sold out quickly but they have more in stock today.

I was considering getting one from Buds on someone elses advise, but when I saw that, VIP **** and list price, I immediately wrote old Bud off!

 

[scattershot]

Found one at my LGS for $399.00, he said he had several.

Yea that is just highway robbery. I wonder how many people took the bait and bought the gun at that price.

Apparently many since they have sold out twice.

I've certainly debated taking that bait. There aren't a lot of gun shops around here (nearest one is 1 hr away, nearest set of more than one is 2 hours away) so the drive time + tax + hassle makes it almost financially enticing. I'm not a patient person so waiting for the price to come down is hard.

After my first Shield purchase, my wife decided she liked it better than her 9C. Went to the gun show today. There were three of them there, priced from $425 to $499 plus tax and background check. Another dealer quoted me $430 OTD, but he had them on order and was "expecting" them sometime next week. I ended up making a deal and left the show with my second Shield purchase of the week, $435 OTD. Cost me an extra $5 to walk away with it rather than order and wait for it. Not as good a deal as my first one, but good enough for me. Now I don't have to share with the wife.

I went to the local Shoot Straight... They had one that was sold pending for the owner to come by, but they let me see it and hold it... Price? 499.00 +tax !!!! I told them that it was 50.00 over msrp, "yeah, but that is what we are selling them for..."

They also offered me a Walther PPS for 549.00.

Both were very nice guns...the Shield looked like it took a lot of cues in design from the Walther. Grip on the Shield felt better for me... But that is as far as I could examine or compared them after the price shock... I thank them and walked out...

Gander Mountain had 40 and sold the last one on Tuesday... I had called on Monday and was told they did not have them... The sales guy saw my frustration (I have purchased a few guns there..)...took my name and phone number, and told me he would put one aside when they get the next order this coming Tuesday or Thursday... They have them at msrp...

Maybe I should just wait for the next gun show. I would hate to pay 50.00 more than the going price... Problem is that I suffer from the same patience issues some of you have lol

i paid $458 Otd for mine

 

[Strike 3]

So how long before Buds Police gets their shipping container dropped off ? Cant Wait

 

[IZinterrogator]

$392 + tax = $429 OTD

 

[herebyproxy]

399.00 plus tax

 

[gobblerslayer]

$431.00 out the door.

 

[Arkie45]

$399 + Arkansas tax...$430 OTD at the LGD.

 

[mlapaglia]

$408.00 OTD. From my local Range where I am a member. Got me 5% off the $430 they had it marked at.

 

[SoleShtr]

I couldn't find one locally so I bought off Gunbroker for $410.00 + 25.00 + S&H + 28.00 transfer fee = $463 total. Locally they were selling at MSRP + tax = $471 total so I saved a few bucks.

 

[AndrewGS]

$398 + tax at my LGS. Others in the area wanted $469 and $479.

Of those that have gotten their "shield" Is there any noticeable difference in the trigger compared to the MPc? Thank You.

We can't get them in MASS yet, and I've been told by S&W that it will be June before we see them (maybe later) and that we will get the Sucky MASS 10 Lb Trigger.

So anyone buying one in MASS figure in the Trigger Job Price also...............
