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

[Dad_Roman]

No idea, was my first purchase from them. I was surprised because their website says 5-10 business days. Do they usually ship this fast?

While they are super dependable and have amazing products and pricing they have made a reputation for being BRUTALLY slow sometimes. In todays world, everybody wants it NOW. They have been known to take a week to ten days to ship and if you get an upper they specifically state it will be at least three weeks and they use everybit of it.

...but then again, sometimes they step up and surprise ya

Let's see now.....Shield 45, 3 holsters, extra mags, 6 months supply of Federal HST, new gun belt and fingernail polish for the slide engravings somewhere around $1,238.76 so far....

Well damn, that really threw ya over the edge didnt it!!!

I went last Thursday to Cabela's in Hammond Indiana to buy my 45 Shield.....two people at the gun counter...one employee at the counter and four or so doing other things.....$395 and tax plus the rebate. I waited quietly for 20 minutes or so and I asked the guy is there anyone else working the counter?..he said yes...Can he help me?...he said no...I left went to my local store...just changed hands...$399...I bought it...salesman was nice but when he called the boss to do the paper the boss looked up and snarled....looks like for a new store all together

I've read this a few times now and I can't seem to fully understand what you're trying to say here..

I bought my two 45s last Thursday from PSA; hard to beat 224.99 (after the rebate, yes) plus my local $20 FFL fees. Ill see if she'll make me a deal doing both at the same time...

Then I saw last Friday that Midwest put S&W mags on sale 30% off, so I went ahead and ordered two. I own lots of 9mm, these will be my first 45s. I've been hammering Youtube review videos - which is like Pavlov's dog watching the food channel...

I sent PSA an email today politely asking if they could give me an update on my order status since it had been "processing" for 2-3 business days, and VOILA! I got an email not an hour later that they were "shipped" UPS two day. Heh. Good things come to he who waits... or sends an email!

I just ordered one from PSA today also. I wanted the thumb safety 45 version and I got the e-mail today that this model was the daily deal for $299.99 so I bit. We'll see how long they take.

Well heck yeah....can't own a shield of any kind without fingernail polish for gosh sakes.......wouldn't be prudent........

 

[Dad_Roman]

Thats a fine looking piece....youve actually talked me into going white.

....and I appreciate the homage.

I like a little polish myself...mamma too.

PSA lowered the Shield 9 w/o safety from $319 to $289 today.
Sweet sweet deal.

I have never bought a gun online ..... until tonight. I saw that PSA had the Shield 45 with manual safety for $299 and just had to do it. $17 to ship to my FFL, $25 to transfer, and then the $75 rebate from S&W.

Very excited. Had been looking at the M&P 45c but decided on the Shield which is about half the cost. That's an amazing deal and my first S&W semi auto.

While I like PSA, they tack on shipping ($17) to this deal and then if you are in GA (like me), they add on sales tax and I still have to pay a transfer fee to boot.

But for all of you guys that don't have to pay the sales tax, it is a pretty good deal for a non-safety 9.

Geez, maybe if we all wait long enough, S&W will just give us all free guns...lol.

I just picked up the Shield 45 for $319 out the door. I see some of you got better deals than me, but i dont really care, its a h.e.l.l of a great gun for what i paid. The recoil is amazingly soft..! Not harsh at all. But that grip, to damn aggressive for me, talon tape on the way.

Ordered a Shield .45 from PSA for $317 OTD, plus $20 transfer.
Overall, pretty happy with that deal.

I fight that same issue with GrabaGun, Primary and Freedom

Counting tax > $500.00. When they first came out.

Palmetto State Armory has the .45 Shield at the lowest price I have seen. $299. That price is BEFORE the rebate. I could not pass it up. Even with shipping and transfer fee beats any price in my area.

S&W M&P45 Shield .45 ACP Pistol w/o Thumb Safety, Black - 11531

 

[Ray1970]

I ordered the 45 from PSA for $299.99, shipping was $17, transfer is $10 and I have to pay a $6 fee for a background check here. So my total is $332.99 before the rebate and my final cost will be $257.99 when everything is said and done.

I didn't really even need or want one but too good to pass up for that price.

 

[brjr51]

Just an FYI for those ordering from PSA. I ordered my 45 Shield Monday night, 5-8, and it shipped Thursday the 11th so wait time isn't too bad.

 

[dsotm]

Ordered from PSA Friday 05/07 and it's getting here today, not bad at all
