Re: I am No Longer Looking For A Shield
Wow! That is crazy. I suppose I was lucky to get the one I have at the price I gave for it. Suggested retail is $449.00 plus tax. I was going to go to the Tyler show today, but decided I would wait for the next one in September.

If you want one...the vendor was in the very back corner of the big room.

Re: I am No Longer Looking For A Shield
I will keep you in mind if I decide on the compact. I bought mine back in April in Tyler. There was a gun show going on that particular weekend but they were all crazy on the price too. I left the gun show and went to Gander Mountain on the south end of Tyler and bought it there.carlson1 wrote:Well if you decide to sale just let me know. You will make my wife very happy. She really wants one since holding it because it is thinner than her G26. I just could not see paying that price. They are even higher than $469.99 on Gunbroker.
They are very scarce and that may be why the dealers are marking them up. I live in DFW area and could not find another. This past week while in Tyler I went to three shops and they did not have any. In fact the gun shop on Hwy 155 right out of Tyler said he had a waiting list of 37.
I had no idea that they were getting so hard to find. I thought about maybe getting a couple of extra mags to have the rounds I would be comfortable with, but I believe they are hard to find also.

Re: I am No Longer Looking For A Shield
$469.99 is just too high for a Shield. I bought one for $399. And as far as extra dollars for a Shield? I thought the M&P compacts were higher. Been a while since I have priced them though. Just today I started looking at the M&P compact. I think I am now wanting to trade in my Shield for one. I want the few extra rounds for a better peace of mind.carlson1 wrote:I had spent some time looking for a S&W M&P Shied for carry. I finally found one to hold and look at. The sticker price was $469.99 plus tax. I just could not tell much difference. My wife dear wants one, but I will have to try and find a used one.
I then found this video and it confirmed my decision. Thought I would post it just in case some of you were consider spending the extra dollars for a Shield it would give you some more insight.
