OK, I stole mine (not literally). I am retired from the Air Force and had been looking all over for a good price on the M&P Shield in 9mm for my primary CCW. Low and behold, I took a look on Base at the McChord AFB exchange. $320 was their everyday price and I just happened to catch them on the week they were having a 10% off all S&W compacts. Did I mention NO sales Tax on base? $288 OUT THE DOOR!!
