Cheapest Shield 9mm?

[DMX]

I'm not asking to buy from anyone I just want to know if anybody is aware of any gun shops selling them cheaper than Four Seasons who currently has them at $285?

Hmm I think I'm confused on how the rebate works.. I thought you buy the shield new from any shop for any price; for example, Four Seasons at $285 plus tax, mail in the rebate slip and proof of purchase and get $75 bucks back? So I'd really be buying the Shield for around $225? Am I wrong?

That's why I'm asking this because I want the best deal possible for my money.

The FS price of 285 is after the rebate. A lot of places are listing the "after rebate price."

Best possible deal on net right now appears to be this:

Ships for free to your FFL. $244 after rebate. FFL transfer fee is in play so factor that in.

Yep

All the wildebeest are crossing the river at the same time, muddying up the waters.
260-340 is the range now, after rebate.

I might pick one up too, but will take into account my driving time and the chance to support a local GS.

lol I've been in the market for a single stack for a while now. I actually would rather a PPS but it's not easy to find a decent used one so if I could buy a new Shield for the price I'd pay for used pps, why not. lol

smh welp, they got me with that sneaky trick I was thinking the rebate wasn't included. :/

If it's too good to be true, it isn't true... still a decent enough price though. lol

Don't forget to calculate the cost of the Apex trigger job we all know it will need after you buy it

My shield sits in the safe most of the time. I have no love for it. It's too big to compete with my PM9 or BG380 for pocket carry and too small to compete with my G19 for EDC and capacity. It's like the anti-Goldilocks gun. It's never just right.

Can the no safety Shield be transferred by a MA ffl?

 

[Pyromancer]

No, not unless its been blessed with the MA trigger

 

[DMX]

Oh okay, but is the safety a option or a requirement?

What's sneaky? It's called reading what is written. Thanks.

Option, same shitty trigger for one low price

You are wrong. The price listed is after rebate as is the case with most ads for sale price that have rebates. I was at four seasons buying ammo and the race was definitely on to take advantage of the rebate. Place was more mobbed than usual. The clerk's were saying they had plenty of them. Guess I'm an odd ball.......but if saving $75 requires me to take a number and wait for 1.5 hours to get to the counter I'm out. .my time is more valuable than that. When I'm gun shopping it's because I found the fire arm I want not settling on something I don't need or want in order o save $75 and deal with the crowds and bullshit. If I wanted a shield I would have already bought one. Going hoopey over a $75 rebate? Meh. .[/QUOTE]

It is a bit sneaky sort of like how gas stations put the better price in huge numbers but in small font, 'If you get a car wash and a candy bar'. lol that big number gets you into the gas station just like I'd go into Four Seasons, but it's a business move. I get it.

You need to get out more. All sale prices that include a rebate in print adds or Internet adds show "price after mail in rebate". You've never heard or read that statement before?

Sure.

 

[fencer]

Wow - they are just giving those things away. Has to make you wonder. That is cheaper than the Schmegmas.

How can they make then that cheap? Hmmm

Yea I see where you're coming from but I've been looking a for a small single stack for a little while, preferably a decent used PPS but I've had no luck; then this deal comes along so now seems like a good time.

Will they ship to a MA FFL?

Air jordans cost 200, prob cost 5 bucks to make (sweatshop)
Shield low low price of 260, prob cost 60 to make (domestic production and all the bennies).

I do wonder if a shield 2.0 is coming? Can't imagine it could be terribly different though.

Trump won. Gun sales are slumping. $75 rebate to fire up sales a bit.

So you are gonna pay $244 out of state and then pay a transfer fee of about the low side $40 extra so final price is $288? Three bucks more and you have to make a bunch of calls to ffls and wait for it to ship? You need help......Just go buy the gun at fs

Skinflint race to the bottom...
Buy it now if you want it, the price diff is made up in a couple boxxes of ammo

Yea, I realized it wasn't worth it after I asked. In all honesty I hate Four Seasons, part of the reason I'm looking for it elsewhere. My favorite shop (Baystate Firearms) is a little bit more but I'll probably get it from them if I finally decide on buying it. It's good to know what other prices are out there, that's all.

is the BG 380 the preferred pocket carry? I'm thinking about one for the summer.

What's the price at baystate?
