Order from GunBroker.com. I found my Shield there for $419.OrangeAnimal wrote:Well I give up. This whole being out of state thing and being a military spouse is a joke. The only place that had the XD-S 9mm which is what I have decided on won't sell us the gun. They say since I am the one wanting the gun and she is the one purchasing the gun they wouldn't do it cause they consider it a straw purchase (which I would agree if we weren't a military married couple) we both even hold CHL's etc. They called ATF and that swayed them not to make the sell which I agree it's their right to deny the sell but I feel that it's a unfair decision to do so based on all the facts. In the end we are a married couple and what's hers is mine and vice versa. So the whole deal is just a fiasco. If I lived a bit closer to The Great State of Texas (which I miss more and more all the time) I would just drive there and get it myself. 380 miles is just more than I am willing to go for no other reason but this.
If any of you are familiar with this ordeal please share your experience cause I am already tired of feeling like I need to drive around with a copy of the Soldiers and Sailors Act.

Re: Help me out! Polymer Framed Single Stack.
That doesn't help me to actually take possession of the firearm once shipped to an FFL. I would have to ship it to Texas then drive there fill out the papers and pay my transfer fee.
No worries though. A few phone calls and I got it settled. Now I own an XD-S 9mm. Nice gun still gotta go test it at the range.
P.S. After reading the reasons for recall it sounds like somebody couldn't keep their finger off the bang switch. Or doesn't know that they actually have to hold on to the gun tightly as it is being fired thus causing them to pull the trigger more than once. Pretty common on my EMP .40 but it's all related to how you grasp the gun. Nothing more.
