Never was a fan of the Shield.

This. Got my 9mm Shield a few years ago when Glock was dragging their feet bringing a small 9mm to market.

In true GD fashion, I got both today when I got the G43 as another small 9mm carry option.

And bought this used for an OK deal

Just one, but I plan on picking up another soon from PSA -- if they would just run 9mm Shield + 3 blem lowers!

I sold my Shield last summer and vowed to NEVER purchase one again. I do, however, have a Glock 43.

None!!! I am waiting for them to be perfected and not jam.

I went out of my way to get mine with the safety. Not all of us are professional enough.

Only way to get FDE. Or so I was told.

It's no big deal to me. I'll just leave it off or on and upon draw run my thumb down it to make sure it's off.

I want to, though I'd rather by AR stuffneifht now. There will always be good deals on pistols before AR stuff when Democrats are in power.

Rest assured they will be in power once again and they're coming with a vengeance.

One in 9mm. Debating a second.

One. 45 Shield. Purchased a 9mm Shield before the Glock 43 came out. The 9mm Shield works for me and figured "what the hell, why not a .45 Shield". Haven't had time to shoot the .45 yet but soon. Loaded 500 round of 45 ACP and will run them through the Shield this coming weekend.

I hope to get one 9mm non-safety. My only tiny gun is an old S&W model 38.

Posted: 5/22/2017 7:35:57 AM EDT

[#23]

I'm tempted to give it another shot at replacing my 642, so far the G43 and Shield 9 (with safety OG model) have failed... may try a 9 no safety this time... or not.

I bought a black one after getting tired of waiting to find an FDE one on sale. Then a couple days after I get my order from them, Brownells puts the FDE on sale for the same price.

May sell my original shield from a few years ago and get an FDE. Probably a couple days after that they'll put the Performance Center on sale for a price I'd pay.

Already had the 9mm.
Bought the .45 during the sale. Waiting on the rebate.

Posted: 5/22/2017 8:34:27 AM EDT

I have purchased zero. The shield never appealed to me. I already have a couple of budget guns anyway.

Posted: 5/22/2017 8:53:59 AM EDT

None.

But it's getting harder to resist every day.

Two 9mm and a 45.

45 shoots great.

Posted: 5/22/2017 8:56:18 AM EDT

Zero as I have no interest in them.

I did buy a G42 though

I EDC a G22 with a TRL-1 and never wanted a Shield, but at $225 after transfer and rebate, I bought one. Can't see regretting anything that isn't a Highpoint for two bones. There are times that a small gun is a good thing, and even though guns are icky, the right number is just one more...

In response to the actual question in OP though: I just got the rebate form filled out last week, so haven't heard anything from S&W yet.

Posted: 5/22/2017 9:06:42 AM EDT

Bought a 9 w/safety. Always heard how great they are compared to a Ruger LC9's. I have both an original LC9 & a LC9s. Wife also has a LC9s.

The S&W is an OK CCW pistol. It's no Ruger. I'd rather have my original LC9 if I had to choose.

If you're buying it for a range toy & are willing to change the trigger, it'd be better than the Ruger for that. The bigger grip, specially with the 8rnd, fits my hand a lot better & the pistol is accurate enough.

For the price it's a great little gun & I have zero remorse for buying it. This one will wind up in a glove compartment. Pretty much what I bought it for...

Just the one, a Shield in 9mm with safety.

Posted: 5/22/2017 10:05:57 AM EDT

[#34]

I picked up a 9mm with safety, because that price vs. without safety (and some local IPA's) was enough to make me jump. It seems cool. I bought a aiwb holster and some extra 8 rounders, but... I don't know, maybe I'll put it all back in the grinder towards a G34 or something.

Two Shields, one Bodyguard.

They are so fucking cheap........what the heck!!

Posted: 5/22/2017 10:28:20 AM EDT

Thought about getting one but aside from the width it's about the same size as the compact, and I'd rather have the double stack. If the 9c has a rebate I might fo.

Don't like the 9mm shield much, but the 45 is great.

Just one. I wasn't planning on buying it, but I wanted something to replace my KT PF9 and couldn't afford the Glock.

Very nice!!

Edit: Thanks for all the responses. By reading the original thread, it sounded like that you had to own a Shield, without the safety of course, to even be on arfcom.

Had one, bought another with PSA's 3 blem lower deal... Someone talk me into a 3rd.
