Got a Sw shield 9mm today, hope I will love it, got a ccp class on 2/2

Im first in line at my local gun shop for one but this is Ca. & I dont think they have delivered any Ca models yet.

Gives you plenty of dry and live fire practice time. My brother got one in .40 not too long back and loves it. I shoulda got one in 9mmP the same day.

At one store, I was told 6 month wait and 60 people in line already....

The insanity for this gun has amazed me.
I've seen auctions on GB sell for over $1000!!!

what makes them so sought after? size? capacity? accuracy?

I have a M&P 9C already, really like it a lot.
The M&P series has been very highly rated from owners that I've seen, me included.
So last year the M&P series came out with their single stack 9mm Shield, thin, nice cc gun.

It competes against the Walther PPS for a thin 9mm, but at a cheaper price point.
Smith & Wesson can't make them fast enough to begin to catch up with demand....
I can't comment on accuracy as I haven't shot one yet, but plenty of reviews and vids out there on the net.
Vast majority of them seem very impressed with the gun.

Now the new XDs-9mm was just released this week at the SHOT Show, another player in the single-stack 9mm game.

I put an APEX kit in my full size M&P 9 and WOW what a sweet shooter.

I was on the verge of picking up a shield, but saw a size comparison of the Shield VS the Springfield Armory XDs, basically they are the same size, so I went with the XDs, as I prefer a .45.

I've got a S&W M&P fullsize 45 and feel ergonomically it is a major improvement over the Glock.

Dons99... which Apex kit did you put in it, the carry or the other one.

Put the APEX kit in the full size 9

I'd prefer the M&P 9c Only slightly bigger, more rounds in the mag, trigger reset. Nice gun and it's easier to find at a better price. Just bought one for $500. Might buy another tomorrow.

I love the shield. It's my favorite carry gun by a long shot. I've done comparisons with the shield v the XDs, PPS and glock. If you search for you username on youtube you can find the vids - they may be helpful if you're considering the gun.

I'd highly recommend the shield. It's got everything I want in a carry gun and nothing I don't.

I was on the waiting list too for over 6 months. Got sick of waiting and bought the kahr cw9. Same size, runs perfect, same price.

I've been waiting for one in 9mm for about 6 months now.

bought mine the day they hit the street last year. FANTASTIC gun.

I think you will like it. I have the M&P9c and love it, and it's pretty close to the same gun, just double stack mag.
