I'd been waiting for quite some time for the Shield, and on a few waiting lists. Granted I never made a serious search (ie: traveling outside my normal haunts to check) but have been checking out my usual areas, but I finally gave in and purchased the Kahr PM9. Haven't had a chance to bring it down to the range for some 'get used to it' time, but should be happy with it. I'll probably pick up a Shield at some future point to compare and contrast, but while the PM9 was a lot more $, I think I'll be happy with it.

You should be happy with the PM9, but it is not even in the same class as the Sheild inmo. The Shield is actually quite a bit bigger, and of course is in a totally different price bracket, so it is kind of an apples to oranges comparison.

Seems as if many of our greater Boston / North Shore stores are getting an influx of 9mm Shields.
They do have M&P 15 sports in stock. Just called - asking $1000.00.
And that's another store I will never shop at

I was in Patriot Arms in Ipswich on Wednesday - and was told they were getting a bunch of Shields in 9mm and one in .40, they'd be available Saturday. That was before we knew how big the storm would be.
Picked my Shield up on Thursday and today after I finished my shoveling duties, decided to field strip it and clean it. THE FREAKIN TAKEDOWN LEVER SNAPPED! I was just starting to rotate it down and it snapped in half. Looks like I'll be calling S&W on Monday...![[crying]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/006.gif "Crying [crying]")
I just got the call for my Shield 9mm Wednesday. I had begun to lose hope as I had put my name on the list in Oct. and just forgotte all about it. The Shield is going to be my first gun. Can't wait to pick it up next weekend.

Do you mind me asking the price you paid at Bob's?
Looks like their web site shows $449 + tax.
It's your fault I'm considering one. We seem to have the same likes and dislikes. I just don't have time to go shop right now
Paid $449.00 plus tax - picked up a box of PP along with it - total was 509 out the door. Harleynut was great to talk to. Range was busy while I was there too. Great that they were open Sunday (and Monday). Told my brother and he went up this morning and got one in .40 as well. Said they still had a bunch in .40 and 9.

Oh my friend , hating on me as well lol. Im a trigger in buying sprees. Im glad i could help you out
Oh there's no hate. We've had some good conversations about different stuff and I always agree. Next time I see a shield ill grab it.
For those that are thinking of picking up holsters here's a few idea's:
Kirkpatrick Holsters: Kirkpatrick Concealment Holsters
I have one of their Challenger 2000 Holsters on order: .kirkpatrickleather/2000-challenger-
.
Pro Carry Holsters: Pro Carry Holsters
I have one of their black and one brown Pro Carry On Duty Holsters: -Pro_Carry_On_Duty_Gun_Holster-
.
DeSantis Holsters: = DeSantis Gunhide =
I have one of their Mini Scabbard Holsters: /SW/m-p-shield/mini-scabbard=
I have one of their Nemesis Pocket Holsters and one of their Super Fly Holsters: /SW/m-p-shield/pocket-holsters-
.
I just got a holster from Amazon.com that is a Talon Tactical Store Holster: -Shield-Left-Handed-LaserMax-Crimson=S&W+Shield+Talon+Holster-, I like the looks of that one also.

Thanks to everyone here on the forum for the heads up about bobs having the shield. I've been on waiting lists for months at several closer shops. Friendly staff and they are open late on weekdays so I was able to go after work. I'm afraid I bought up their last mag though!
I looked at a ton of holsters and I am new to CC. I ultimately decided to try the Little FoxX from FoxX holsters (haven't received it yet). I was also considering a larger hybrid holster but ill see how this smaller one works first. FoxX seems to have a good rep and good customer service from what I've read.

Anyone here try these and have impressions?

I got my shield and put in my order for a milt sparks VM 2. The wait will be a while but they are the best holster going to put on a belt hands down... Their tuckable clips make the holster pretty much completely disappear with a dress shirt... I know they are expensive but trust me they are worth the $. I have one for every hand gun I intend on keeping forever... Also in the mean time the shield fits pretty good in my glock versa max...
