Will you buy a Shield at MSRP ???

[Double_G]

Just bought the 9mm version from here :

Smith & Wesson Pistols For Sale
Listing above

D&L Hunting & Outdoor Lodge - Firearms & Firearms Accessories
You have to order over the phone.


They got a few in on Friday, were closed all weekend due to the Snow Storm. They still had a few 9mm and 40's in stock when I ordered mine an hour ago. 429.99

I bought a Shield 9mm yesterday for 450. I paid 410 for my Shield 40 a few weeks ago

I bought my Shield for $389 and waited 7 months for the privilege. Now that it's up and running, it's become my EDC and I love it!

 

[Lost Lake]

I waited 8 months to get one at the LE price of $335.

I'll buy two more if they come back into stock at that price.

I voted yes... Although I did buy my 9mm for 409.99 from a local gun shop two weeks ago. I was in the right place at the right time.

I don't plan to get the 40 shield, but I do plan on getting a 40, but in a full size.

I'm on a waiting list and I will pay MSRP if I have too but hope that I won't

I voted yes for the 9 since I would and I did! Months ago, they were going for $399 at many local shops. Now they're in super high demand (not that it wasn't before) and going for MSRP.

I've heard some people have been on a waiting list since October and are still waiting!

Interesting that 26% of respondents on an enthusiast board won't buy a shield.

I guess those are the 3913 owners. Regards 18DAI

The 9mm Shield is great.. These days I most always carry the Shield or the XDs.. Ron

No, I'm not buying a Shield at any price. I'm left handed and have large hands. It is just too small and goes against the whole ambidextrous design of the M&P line.

I love my M&P, but the shield is an aberration in an otherwise great design.

If you find a 9mm shield for $449 or less, buy it! Its a sweet shooter. The .40 is nice also but a bit snappy.

I have a 3913 and a Shield and there isn't much difference at all in size, weight or round capacity.

I bought one because it was quite inexpensive at $335.

With Shields now going for $500 and up, there's no way I would buy one. That same money will buy a very nice 3913, which is a better gun across the board.

Better trigger, better balance, better recoil, better sights, better safety, better track record, better looking, and it doesn't hang out of battery.

The 3913 is worth an extra $200 all day long.

I spend so much on Whiskey and Food who cares. I paid over MSRP but don't worry about it. I wanted it. I worked for it. I have it. I love it. And I'd buy it again.

I got a Shield 9mm last week

Paid MSRP, and waited 7 months. It seemed like longer.

 

[bobnieder]

Got a .40 at $20 over MSRP. Very pleased. With my 9 mm barrel and a case of 9 mm ammo, I can schedule range time with minimal pain.

 

[mesinge2]

I'm not considering buying one... Already have the .40.

But, knowing how much I like it, I'd pay MSRP if I didn't have one.

except mine is a 9mm

 

[Fairlane67]

I've bought 2...and yes...I voted yes

 

[E&J]

I voted yes and paid MSRP 2 months ago. I have been enjoying the Shield while others wait to find one so I have no regrets.

 

[JNewell]

The supply situation is even worse in MA, which is limited to a MA-compliant model. Most dealers in eastern MA aren't even taking names for their waiting lists any more.

Cabelas $449.99 is what I purchase my m&p shield for, here in mi.
