I got my Shield for $417, but I think that's pretty rare. The day I bought it, someone I shoot with told me a friend of theirs had just paid over $600 for one a few weeks prior at a different store. I'd probably have bought at $499, since I was actually looking for one.

The thumb safety is small and pretty stiff; you have to be trying to move it either direction. It's not hard to disengage with your thumb, though.
