Me too, my one complaint about my M&P .40 was that the trigger felt too light and had a mushy reset.

My LGS just called and I will be picking up my Shield on Saturday.

That's not a bad price! Considering when the LC9 was introduced and offered at the same MSRP, they were initially going for 420-430. I got lucky and found mine for 370 plus tax (bout 404 after).

According to the promos on the S&W website,the Shield was supposed to be available today at your local gun store.I called one of mine and they had never heard of lt."A Smith & Wesson what ?" was the response I got.Oh well,maybe next week..

I'm heading down to Cabela's today so I'll let you know if they have one. If they do I might come home with it!
Well, it looks nice....but. I don't see enough difference between it and the M&P9c, which my wife already has and likes. I don't see enough difference in it and my Kahr CW9, which I already have and like. (Plus, neither one has a safety on them...which is how I prefer them.)
That being the case, I guess I'll wait a while and see how these work out. Hopefully they won't have any "new model" issues.

I'd be curious how it compares to my CM9. Love my M&Ps, but that little CM9 is accurate and very shootable. I bought one last year to carry vs. my 642 and it conceals much better. Only negative I have is the sharp point and edge on the front of the ejection port. You can cut your finger on it pretty easy with such a small gun. Forgot to add, the cheap plastic sights. I ordered a set of night sights directly from kahr. Did the front sight myself without any problem, haven't gotten to the rear sight yet.

I do! If you pocket carry -- which is the only way I carry -- the size difference between the Shield and the 9c is enormous. I want to stick it next to my BG380 to see how it compares, and the stuff it in my pocket to see how well it fits.
Like you, I might wait a little while to buy one to see if any issues develop.
Here's an interesting question: if S&W "fixed" the trigger for the Shield (reportedly, an all new trigger) then will the "fix" make it to the bigger brothers? If yes, there might be a lot of used M&P's for sale soon.

I got one on the way. My dealer hadn't heard of them until his rep was in today. His rep had some at his warehouse and I have one on the way.

If these are already in some stores and those acces. are already available, hats of to S&W for a top notch release.
Just had my dealer order one this afternoon, actually he ordered several. S&W replied he should have it by Feb 2013, great by then any bugs should be worked out. But then again since this is an older platform there hopefully won't be any teething problems. We'll see.

Gotta say this single stack m&p looks nice, but apparently its still not "pocket"
Size, and since I carry on the belt id rather have my 9c with alittle extra width and more firepower.....nice gun though....

Cabelas only has it in 9mm. I can't seem to find anyone that has it in 40.
