Ordered new gun!!

[JRG]

Okay, this was a great day!! ....................... Why, you ask?

Because I finally made a decision!! After a couple of months of wishy washy thinking and changing my mind numerous times, going back and forth about do I want another double stack or do I want my first single stack .................................... I ordered a Shield 9mm with the Crimson Trace Green Laser already on it!! I am pumped. I ordered it from Grab A Gun for $485. When checking local gun shops, I found prices for the Shield 9 anywhere from $399 to $449, so I thought why not just get the one with the laser already for only an extra $85. Checking the Crimson Trace website, this laser goes for $279.

I am pumped! I should get an email in a couple of days to come to the Coppell, TX store to pick it up. I only live about 30 miles from it. I also ordered two 8 round extended mags. They were $16.99 each. I saw them in the local Academy Sports store for $35 each. All of this together makes me feel even more excited about this purchase, it is a great deal!

You'll like this pistol. I have one and carry it every day, it's a good EDC. The extended 8rd mag is a must, I think the 7rd is too short. And $17 is a great price for these mags, I think I grabbed one at $25 and I thought that was good about a year ago.

I absolutely love my M&P Shield. It's a great shooting gun. Smooth and the recoil is minimal. I've even thought about buying a second one to leave in my truck.

My friend got the Ported Shield and I I shot at the indoor range. It is sweet little gun. I got a Beretta nano and it did not had the fiber optic front sight and the trigger was like 10lbs. The trigger pull is like pulling a truck for a mile. Unsatisfied, I ordered a fiber front sight and new trigger springs kit and voila a better nano. A freebie comes with the spring kit, become a trigger master gunsmith in 2hrs.

You've made a great choice for an EDC.

Enjoy it!

Well I got a Shield also a 45 acp, nice small pistol, 4.2 lb trigger out of the box, no malfunctions at all feeds anything I have shot flawless, shoots to point of aim at 10-15 yds, very hard to load. It's a toss up to carry my old G32 or the Shield, my worn Minute Man Glock holster fits the shield perfect. About 200 rounds so far all good .

Congrats! I also own a Shield 9mm- Performance Center model. Great shooting gun.

Congrats, that's one of the new EDCs I am considering. I am kind of torn between the M&P compact or the shield. Also considering the FNS 9 compact since I currently carry the full size

Bummer! Grab a Gun emailed late in the day that I could come pick up my gun. Unfortunately, I could not get there today. So, it looks like it will be Monday before I get to handle my new Shield. I'm probably going to take it shooting the same day!!
