Just have a cheepo uncle mikes for now, pushing the slide out of battery and the spring not having the power to push it back forward, just found some info on google about shields having this problem.
I have been carrying mine since last friday. Put 50 rounds through it and I have to say I like it. I am not of a fan of the trigger reset though, much to be desired.
What is it about the reset that you don't like? I'm on all kinds of waiting lists but have yet to fire one.
I ended up trading my 9mm shield for a 40 just to keep from having to buy different caliber ammo. I have to say the 40 isn't that bad on recoil compared to the 9mm. I could hardly tell a felt difference.
Yeah, I did the same thing and I could not tell the difference either. I just need to turn it in and have sights put on. I hope I'm not saying the same thing a month from now.
Why not just buy one on GunBroker? There are currently 9 on there.
How much over MSRP are they? Kind of like buying the latest electronic geegaw on eBay at twice the retail price
I haven't messed with one, and am not really an early adopter when it comes to guns, but for those who are interested and want one shipped the Sportsman's Super Store has them in stock in both calibers:
SMITH AND WESSON MP40 SHIELD 40SW @ Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore:
MSRP is $449. You think gunshops are going to charge that?? I think not. You can get a 40 on GB right now for $550. This is just another great marketing ploy by gun manufacturers and people are falling for it.
I need to get some sights as well. which ones are you going to go with?
When they first came out, there was only one advertiser on INGO that went above MSRP.
