S&W Shield 9mm 1K Round Review - Page 2

Yeah stores get them intermittently, but then they're gone. A gun store in Leominster announced they received 5 on Facebook and whoosh, gone within a few hours. At full retail price too ($449). I held one in my hands but it was Connecticut compliant, so I was bummed.

Much like an article about Mila Kunis, this was a well-written piece with a beautiful picture about something that is impossible to get.

Well done. Enjoy it!

...so I'm the only one here who knows Mila?

Unfortunately around here, as I'm sure it is most places, (especially in these times) there is a shield waiting list and its 35 names long last I checked. I really want one of these guns though. I think I'll call tomorrow and see if I can get on the list.

What does "connecticut compliant" mean? It came with a free gun lock?

I bought the Bersa BP 9 and couldn't be happier with it. Same size and weight as the Shield, two 8 round mags, and no external safety. Lower price and same or better quality.
