New Shield

[marvin the martian]

Wasn't planning on it, but was checking out the local gander mountain clearance sale and they had their firearms listed 15% off, along with the $75 mail in rebate it was too much to pass. So a 45 with no thumb safety was adopted.

Congrats on the new Shield .45.
Only 120 rounds through mine so far, but no problems whatsoever.
Have fun and be safe.

Marvin, what did you end up paying? I've never found a real bargain at the GM stores.

 

[marvin the martian]

It'll be about $330 after the mail in rebate.

after ? how much did you pay then?

Congratulations. I have a Shield in 45 caliber also. I won't tell you what my cost was after the rebate for fear you might decide to buy a second one.

Good choice. I just bought one from the performance center.

Looking forward to taking it out to the range, hopefully I can find time soon! Any ammo suggestions? I picked up some AE 230 gr poly coated just so I have something.
Earlier this year I joked with a friend that since I turn 45 this year that maybe I should get something in a .45 to celebrate. Guess that planted a seed.

Better start setting some money aside now. Five more years and you might be purchasing something in 50 cal.

Yeah, for the range, I like AE 230 gr FMJ and Fiocchi 230 gr FMJ. For SD ammo, I like the Federal HST 230 gr. standard pressure.
