Picked up one today for $349.99. Seemed reasonable enough.
Thanks

Assuming you're gonna keep it -- paying a little more or a little less will mean nothing in the long run (amortized over 20 years).

Shoot it - be happy.

Don't keep a gun you don't want.

I got mine for 399.99 today at Academy on Siegen ln.

Took all of 15 mins

I'll pay the extra 50 bucks to get it same day/hour/half-hour I wanted it

You'll pay that plus the transfer fee, so $375 +/- from palmetto versus $399+tax from a local place.

I'll wait a few days for a gun to save roughly $60



P.s. Every now and then palmetto state has them for $329. I got mine a couple months ago at that price.

I've bought 2 guns from them in the past 6 months or so and didn't pay shipping. Not sure if I caught a tree shipping sale at the time I ordered them though.


Sorry... I stand corrected. The first gun I ordered was a Shield 40 for $319.99 and it came go $336.99 with $17 shipping. The second gun was a Shield 9 for $329.99 with free shipping.

Edit to add: sold the 40 for $350 in order to buy the 9.

I went in just to try out the feel of it... after seeing everybody on this board recommend it for CC, I did a little research and was pretty much sold on it... after a minute of handling it, I decided to go for it... call it a researched impulse purchase... I thought about getting one from PSA but couldn't hold myself back

Hope you enjoy it, I'm going try mine out Sunday

Same here, everything I have read has been good. I was looking at the Glock 43 also but I couldn't pass the shield up.

Didn't pay any taxes or shipping, Just the $25 transfer fee.

Bought my second one today from Buds $339. Tired of the thumb safety. It's a better shooting gun and cheaper than a G43

That's a good price. I've had my 9mm Shield for quite a while now. Love it.

Once my LTC gets approved, I'm going to buy the 3.1" barrel Shield 9mm to carry.
