I need this.  2 for starters.  4 would be good if the old lady gets paid.  Can't get there until Saturday.

They aren't open on Saturday, I can swing up and get 2 for payment if it moves me up the priority list

So, hold out for what I want, or get what is available......?

Back at the beginning of January, I decided that I was going to get a CCW, and a small concealable handgun. After a lot of research and whatnot, I set my sights on the Smith and Wesson M&P Shield. I liked the feel, weight, reviews, etc. Started calling around, none to be had. Best I could find was Kittery telling me that it would be about a 8-12 week wait. I was ok with that. They told me I was #27 on the "list". Well, I called today to see what progress had been made, and they tell me I'm still #27, and they have no idea when that will change...

Time to evaluate my decision?

If that's what your heart is set on I'd find way to get one. I've compromised on what I wanted before and always ended up trading then off

Get what you want the first time. Have you checked Uncle Henry's?

Anyone interested in this? It is OWB only.

Give Howells a call about the m&p shield I think they were expecting one soon, last I heard it was unspoken for

 

[gearsoup]

Howells isn't even 2 miles from my house. That would be sweet!

 

[Nate]

PM me a price.

 

[Gretsch308]

PM sent!

at Up in Arms in Windham he has/had a Springfield XD-S you might consider.  Not sure its still there.  I saw it last weekend.

 

[Gretsch308]

He also had a G19. I was tempted.....

 

[Rmayo]

I really like that xds. A friend bought one when they were first released, awesome little gun

 

[Jamey]

My bud just bought xds he loves it

 

[gearsoup]

The thing that concerns me about the xds, and I've heard this from multiple sources, is that it can be finicky on ammo selection. Seems to be the place that the Shield pulls ahead. At any rate, they will both be getting visits today..

 

[Jamey]

He shoots everything. Out it no issues as of yet

 

[gearsoup]

Now, let me clarify. Are we talking about the new 45 cal xds, or the 9mm xd sub compact?
