FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY got my second 9mm Shield. Been looking for 2 months now..
FINALLY!
Selling my PX4 to cover the cost... Officially taking a hiatus from gun buying now. Been buying for years. Now, gonna start taking some vacations... Obviously, keeping my Beretta 92s, though, and my pair of PS90s :)
I have some sort of complex with having multiples of the same gun!

Shipwreck those are nowhere to be found in my area.
Mind telling where you were able to locate another one ?
In Houston - Carter Country on the Katy Freeway
Do they sell online ?
No. You can try calling them and see if they will ship - if they still have any left
nice
what grips are on them?
Just a bicycle innertube, if you can believe that. Old, old trick among online gun nuts.
I hate hogue slip on rubber grips - I hate the palm swells and finger grooves. I have tried ones without those before - but the rubber was still too thick.. You could really feel it where the rubber ended on the grip.
I bicycle innertube is very thin and works the best. I have put them on several polymer guns over the years. 1 tube lasts for years. Just cut a small piece off for each gun...
It is ugly, I will admit. But, no one has yet to make a thin rubber grip for a handgun. So, I'm stuck...
Grips probably won't be ugly to someone looking into the business end....JJ
I got my 9 this morning. $425.00 with everything including shipping.
Very cool!Quote:

If you really want one, you have to stay on the hunt! I got lucky and found one at Davidsons back in June. Very good pistol. Fits in nice with my other M&P's.
M&P .40 Pro 4.25"
M&P 9mm Pro 5" (IDPA Pistol)
M&P Shield 9mm (carry gun)
Range Goin Hot
Cool.
I have 1900 rounds thru the pair of mine now (total). Love the guns.
Still waiting for my first one and I am wondering, what is the difference between any gun in any brand and the california version of the same gun? I see several listings at local and online stores that show the shield (out of stock) and a california model $30 - $60 higher (also out of stock) Far as I can see they are the same, 7 and 8 cap mags and all.
I havent purchased a holster yet but I have my innertube sections cut. :D
From what I have seen on calguns - there is a mag disconnect AND a loaded chamber indicator that sticks up - similar to some of the newer Rugers.
The bicycle inner tube is a great idea. The next flat I get I know where the tube is going. Thanks.
