I paid more than list for my 9mm Shield...I just simply got tired of waiting more than 5 months and grabbed the only one at a gun show a few months back. No regrets either.
At the same gun show yesterday in Fort Worth, some private owner was asking $650 for a NIB 9mm Shield...didn't notice any takers. Another dealer at the show was asking $499 for an M&P 22...its gotten ridiculous. All signs indicate that the clowns in Congress will not institute any type of gun ban, only possibly extending background checks. If these idiots would just hold a vote and put the issue to bed, maybe then we'll see a relaxation in prices. But until that happens, things will be up in the air (including prices).
