[gunfando]

Just throwing this out there, if ya got one and want to sell it let me know how much. Just don't go crazy academy has them for 399.00 if you can be at the right spot at the right time.
Thanks

If Academy has a M&P Shield for $400 I would jump on that. I bought my wife an M&P Shield maybe 3-4 weeks ago and paid $450 for it. I've seen it at other gun stores for $480 and that's if you can find one. I went to the Gun Show this past weekend and I didn't see anyone with a M&P Shield. IMHO, if you see one at Academy for the $400, go for it.

If I was to sell the one I have now seeing as my wife has only shot about 250 rounds with it I would quote $400, used. Academy has a great price. That's $50 below what Smith & Wesson has them listed on their website.

Yeah good price, bad thing is availability have to be at the right store at the right time. I may hit the local ones in my area just seeing what was out there. I'm actually looking for my mother in law if she didn't like it then I just a nice addition to my collection.

Thanks

Save yourself some time and gas money by calling them. Ask if they have a Shield and listen to the laughs as thy tell you NO WAY.

By far the cheapest place I have found to pretty much anything is Leadslingerarmory.com. He doesn't keep much on his website but he will order whatever you want. Jason is a good guy.

[gunfando]

well, called academy and the guy said he couldnt find any academy that had them and that he even could not see them at the distrubition center.
so now off to the lgs and see what he can do.
thanks

Why is the Shield so much harder to find at Academy than even the new Springfield XDS?

[carlson1]

I had absolutely no luck at finding a Shield anywhere. Academy, Cheaper than Dirt, Cabella's, Gander Mountain, etc...

I finally paid extra to a Forum member and bought his because of sure luck he wanted to up grade to an S&W M&P.

For months now I have tried to find another one with no luck.

I am not a Springfield fan so I am not for sure how hard they are to find.

You have a slim to none chance of finding one at academy. The one near me that I found a ruger 1911 at, the guy said the only thing that would have surprised him more would be a shield.
He said they got 1 in the first shipment and havent seen one since and was told they probably wont see anymore for a long time.

I found mine online and it shipped free, that + the $10 transfer fee still came out less than Ive seen them sell for third party.

Check sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com they seem to get them in all the time and I have no idea how.

I went to the DFW gun range about 3 months ago to shoot mine and I almost didn't get to shoot much because the workers all wanted to shoot it.
By the way it is a great gun and I have proven mine. I do not feel under gunned with the Shield and an extra mag.

I just got holsters for mine and its so comfy to carry!

For those that live in the Houston area, I noticed that Carter's Country had them in stock; both the .40 and the 9mm. They were charging $480 for them but they had them in stock.

[gunfando]

Thanks for all the heads up on who has them. I will try the 2 lgs in town first as both are good at matching prices. Also another gun show at Pasadena this weekend so I might get lucky somewhere.
Thanks
