Good luck - I looked everywhere without success. I finally found an S&W Shield in .40; I'm very happy with it.

I have my name in at several places around town for a 9mm Shield for the last 6 months. The only ones I have found have been (lowest) $150 over MSRP. One shop I am waiting at sold them and has me down for $379. Online I have seen them got for almost $600. I want one but not at that price.

Try GunBroker or GunsAmerica for the auctions. I have bid what I can afford and I still don't own one. They are available for a price.

I just found one... Only problem is it's 110 miles away and they won't ship it to my ffl unless I purchase it in person. That seems a little pointless to me.

You can try Armslist for used ones. Top Gun Supply had some .40 compacts yesterday, they are a bit wider than the shield version. Gallery of Guns has had the shields allocated for some time now...... Your best bet is probably just to keep in tough with your local gun shops, Gander Mountains etc. Get to know some of the employees and they may hook you up. I found one by walking into my local range one Tuesday morning and there one sat in the case. Good luck man! Also, if I was looking and found one guaranteed 110 miles away, I'd be willing to make the drive in a heart beat.......they are THAT hard to find.

Haha well lemme say that before all this gun ban stuff was going on it was extremely difficult to find the S&W Shield

Now that we are in Anti-gun season, I would say that the fact that you found a Shield ONLY 110 miles away is very good luck lol

If I were you, I'd make a day trip of it and buy it! Good luck.

110 miles isn't too bad. Just resist the urge to dry fire as you're driving back with it!

Unless you want to have it shipped across a state line, why would you show up in person to buy it, and then have it shipped to your FFL?

BTW......go to www.gunbroker.com

There's tons of um up for sale / auction there.

Let's say I was able to locate a 9mm shield at a reasonable price . . . What IWB holster do you carry yours in? I'm thinking a little behind the hip bone and with a cant forward, kinda similar to Hickok. Mainly because I've never worn one before.

Spoke with Kittery @ 630pm on Monday and they told me they had none left but I would be #9 on the waiting list, which I now am. Gave them my information and everything except to pay for it. Price will still be $429 when he gets them in.

Thanks for the holster lead.

My contact at Kittery told me today that will be getting more Shields in soon...

Good luck..........

Kittery Trading Post has been in business for 75 yrs, and we're in Kittery Maine, not that far from S&W in Springfield Ma. We're about 15 miles from the Sig plant <I once worked for Sig, making the guns> We have about another 200 S&W Shield 9mm coming in soon, so those of you who weren't able to get in on it, here's another chance. You can also place the guns we have on a 7-day no money involved hold or a 60 day hold with 20 % down, 60 days to pay (we all do it this way) We have a special order system that we take your order over the phone, give you a customer number and place you in que for what you ordered.
