Anyone know where I can just back order a 9mm shield?

Thanks.

I would try your local gun shops first.

There are none to be had  

Edit:  Due to the lack of availability, I'm considering a Kel-Tec PF-9 that has the belt clip right on it.  

         I guess Springfield introduced the XDS in 9mm at Shot Show - this might be nice too

I know there's none to be had hence why I am trying to get on a list :-)

I've had one on back order since June. Well before the real heavy panic buying started. The back order list at my dealer for just the Shield 9mm is over 250 ! Good luck.

My brother got on a list at ACE Firearms south of pittsburgh and it came in 2 weeks.

Just go to a shop that does some volume, ask how long their list is.
The LGS told my brother they just got caught up so he was fist on the list, and it only took 2 weeks for them to come in a guess.

EDIT:  my bad - I guess there is one

"The Marksman" in Puyallup WA  had some the other day in their LEO/.mil case, if you qualify. Google is your friend

I am not affilliated with them in away what-so-ever.

My dad is on a waiting list at 3 shops in Bend OR, impatiently waiting. Go get on waiting lists all over town.

Anyone able to call Grice's?  I have been getting busy signals for two days.
I know LGS's are busy, but they can't be that busy, can they?

I called my local dealer and they put me on a list.  They got lucky and received 2.  Worked for me.

All they have is the 40 Shield in stock, and they wont give out the price over the phone. They transfer you to the internal sales department and then it goes to voicemail.

Hyatt had 40's - for $649

I don't need one that bad - I'll just stick with the G19 and the Bodyguard until I can find one at a realistic price

Wait till the XDs 9mm comes out. It will take a lot of pressure off of the Shield.

I've been on a waiting list since OCT in two shops in Tacoma, WA...still waiting.  Marksman doesn't do waiting list so you have to check in with them.  :(

welp.... that didn't take too long. walked into LGS and axed how long? reply was well if you have cash it moves you to the top of the list.



well Einstein .... lets just say I do have cash when could I possibly be looking at getting one?



gun store dude ... well sir, how about in less than 7 days?



how much???



$449



you sure????????



yes sir I am.



how about I give you three hundred and come back with the rest next week when gun arrives?



deal!



so in about a week I should hopefully have said Shield in 9MM. they are one of S&W's larger customers so I am betting he is being honest here. I have purchased a lot of guns out of this shop so I have no problem if it takes several weeks. I can always get deposit back.

Hmm maybe I should stop by in person at some of my LGS instead of just calling and getting on waiting lists...I did reserve a shield for $436 with a cc as soon as it comes in. But they didn't say how many were in front of me. Just that I would get a call and that would be the price when its available.

A few weeks ago I was on the S&W forum.

They were saying that S&W is running their Shield line 24/7 and were 40,000 units behind at that time.  (don't remember the source on this)
I guess they didn't want to start another line for production - maybe something to do with the ban crap?  I suppose the other lines are running hi-cap stuff right now.  I know I would.

Grice in Clearfield, PA has then in stock - but they won't ship to an FFL  

You have to go there.

Not sure it's worth a 3-hour drive/gas over it.

I still owe the "house" for my last two "presents" anyway



I think our new addition from the industry -  S&W - should set a run aside and have a special sale for us ARF'ers

Made the 3 hour drive there today. $480 with tax out the door. It's a beautiful drive and the wife unit now has a shield.

Heads up though, the place is huge and they have inventory so it's a mad house.

my LGS said they expect an order midweek - I'll give them a shot this week - maybe make the drive Saturday if Grice still has one
