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

I got into the hunt to late and I couldn't find any in the Portland Or area. I stopped by a small shop outside of Portland and they happened to have a 40cal due to arrive thirty minutes later. I waited for it and after handling it I said I would take it. That was when they said they wanted $479 for it. I balked and they said they had someone calling every day for one. I gritted my teeth and took it anyway because it was starting to look like it might be a very long wait to find one at any price.
After a day at the range, I have no buyer remorse. Awesome gun!!
 
I paid $449.00 with tax. I drove 244 miles round trip to find a Kahr, or M&P Shield. I have looked at the small carry guns for a long time and the last shop I stopped at had the gun that she had purchased for someone else but he wanted a 9MM.
I did not ask the price all I said was "Guess what, it is mine now so write it up". After Sunday test run I am happy with it but I need to find a magazine loader so I am open to suggestions on this.

449 and tax from cabelas on july 08 2012. shot it forty rounds using both magazines. very happy. Worked perfect.
 
$429 plus tax at a LGS that is typically more expensive than other, smaller shops in the area. The other shops had none in stock.
 
June 2012 $399 My local LGS knows he can charge what he wants to, but refuses to take advantage of that situation. Guess where we buy all our guns?

Mine is of the same mindset. On our state gun forum a guy posted in the *Found a Deal* forum a PMR30 @ $650.00 at a different gun shop north of me.That is SOooo not a deal. At my LGS recently, I bought a 10/22 Take Down for $300 and I think that a fair deal.
 
A LGS had s special sale day a few weeks back. Got a 9mm for $399, including a S&W Range bag ($42 on the S & W site). They also had a prize wheel. Was hoping for a big prize but won a t-shirt. Even so, it was a great deal for a great gun
 
Bought my 9mm Shield 3 weeks ago at Academy Sports for $399 + tax. Seemed like a very good price considering it took me over 3 weeks to find one.
 
I was on 3 waiting lists for a Shield 9mm. The only place to call (after 2 months) was Cabelas. I paid $449 for mine yesterday.
 
$479 + $25 transfer from stockers in Ohio to me in SC. I dont think its a bad price at all for this gun. Retail is $449 + tax so I would not have been too far off if I bought from a LGS. I would buy another shield if I came across one for $399 like some folks here have.
