$449 for that? Pass.

 

I love M&Ps but I have big hands. If I want something that size I'll go with the LC9 and save $100.

 

MSRP dude.

 

S&W has their M&Ps at 569 right now on their official site...you can pick them up for 459 easily.

 

It will be under 400 for sure.

especially if buying from Vance's

 

that looks like a winner to me. I'm torn between pocket carry and IWB for a tiny gun. The XD SC 9mm I used to have was too big. My Kel Tec P3AT that I pocket carry isn't too bad but I'd practice way more if I had a 9mm that I could afford to put ammo through.

i just need to find out if Ronnie Bianco is still around doing 'smith work. he got my 9c down to like 4.25-4.5#. if i can get it down to that, and a nice IWB, it'll be ideal.

 

im getting one. my buddies wife works at vances, i've already sent her a message to see what they're selling for when she goes in tomorrow (hopefully).

ugh...i post about this on FB for a couple friends, and i get another one says "$500????? why wouldn't you get a glock?"

 

god damn kool-aid drinkers. so annoying...it'd be different if there was a comparable gun, but glock doesnt even make a single stack 9mm. thats like saying, "im gonna buy a new mustang" and getting a response of "why dont you buy a toyota landcruiser?"

Polymer guns will be tossed into the same category and judged alike. I wouldn't call liking a Glock being a "kool-aid drinker".

When you suggest a brand as a whole when im speaking of a specific gun and style (single stack, striker fired), and that brand doesnt even have something comparable, it is straight kool-aid drinking.

 

now, if i had said "gonna buy a M&P 40c" and he said "why not a g27", thatd be different. its a direct comparison.

Just talked to my Cousin. He is getting 1 and I have claimed it. I already paid him for a different gun, but he has been unable to get it due to the suppliers being out. So I am switching to the Shield. Should have it next Wednesday or Friday at the latest.
