Second shield

I bought two Shields, both in 9mm. I bought the first one from Gun Genie, when they were first listed and then the second a few days later at a local gun shop. I wanted my wife and I to have the same carry pistol, in the same caliber, so we could easily share magazines, ammo, and have the same manual of arms in our carry guns.

Mine too. She puts up with my "hobby" but really does not want to see or hear about them.

She is not at all happy I got my CCW.

My wife talked me into getting the new shield and found one for me to pick up just today. Mine is in .40 now she wants a 9mm. Looks like i have to keep on looking.
 
My wife wants a Shield, so I put 20% down and got on a list at a LGS.

They told me the wait would be several months.

So, I ordered one about 2 1/2 hours away, and I am having it shipped next week. A few hours later a LGS called me with a Shield 9mm in stock.

So, a member here asked about it, and I passed on the info. He ended up getting a great deal.

I really didn't want a Shield for myself, but I am getting very excited.
These M&PS are addicting!

If you get a chance to get one, don’t hesitate. For me, my 9mm compact was harder to find.

Yes the .40 shoots awesome! I actually can control my follow up shots better than I do with my issued Glock 22. I think that is due to the slimmer grip(I have small hands). After 350 rounds thru it I am very comfortable shooting it. I just really want a 9mm. Also my department will be switching from .40 to 9's soon so it will also be more convenient! Don't get me wrong I will be keeping at least one .40 shield but don't need 2....

i would be interested in seeing what the reults are in going from a 40 to a 9.

I shouldn't say it but I have 5. I have two, one in 9 and the other in 40. I bought my two daughters and wife each a 9.
 
I live in a small town and they've had one each time 9mm. They always say just came in. I'm guessing less population means better chance of getting one. They actually lowered their price down 25.

Have her watch "The Road" and see what she thinks then. I've seen the movie ,but according to most guys that have watched it with their significant other, it either changes their minds about guns, makes them tell the guy to get more ammo and/or guns or wants to stock up for a disaster.

I got the 9mm simply because I have other 9mm's and no 40's.
Plus I prefer the 9mm over the 40 for several reasons, less recoil,

Interesting as I had the opportunity to shoot both side by side (my wife's 9 and someone at the range while I was there had a .40) and I could not make out any difference in the recoil. Definitely surprised me.

I just purchased the 9mm and have been thinking that maybe I should have gotten the 40 instead, having been a 1911 .45 guy for many years. Would lke to hear opinions on which one you purchased and why.

It (9 Shield), was one of the first ones to come in and I have all the other 9's. Simple. Liked it,bought it.

Don't have any 40's (yet) I prefer the FS 45's. When the price settles down and the dust settles the 40 Shield could be my first 40 if I stumble on a good deal and maybe a FS 40 to match.
 
Well it looks like I may be still stuck(if you call it that) with this second .40 shield. None of the LGS anywhere near me can seem to get a 9. Oh well maybe I'll have some luck at the upcoming gun show?
 
when i first got mine i had a choice between a 40 or 9. they had 5 of the 9's and like 25 of the 40's. I went with a 9. Then yesterday a shop called and told me that "mine" came in and i'd have 15 days to pick it up. Didn't even know I was on a list. hhmm. Though I called them and told them to pass it along since I got mine back in april. Now someone else is getting to enjoy too. I'm so kind haha.
 
I'm thinking this second 40 may find its way to the classifieds soon so I will have the cash in hand to grab up a 9 as soon as I spot one.
 
I see my last post was on 5-15. I'm STILL searching for a 2nd 9mm Shield...
 
I am very happy with my 9. When my wife and I went to the range, she did not like the shield. She prefers her LCR. Both are great guns.
Now she wants us to get a membership to the range.
Yes, I love her.
