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.

$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.

I did what I posted I would not do and that is buy a Shield. I didn't buy one my wife did. Thanks Tomtexan for your help to make a lady happy. We all know when the wife is happy everyone is happy. The good thing is now I can get my Glock 26 back.

There is a .40 Shield on one of the gun forums (I forgot which one) that he is asking $500.00. I sent a message asking how it compared to a .9mm and he does not win the personality of the year award. It has been posted for about three weeks now with no hits.

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 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.
