  • Found a M&P shield local!

    I've been wanting one of these since I first saw them, but have not found them at MSRP yet. They were all way over MSRP.($600-750) I just got lucky at a local shop when I saw they had a shipment of them.

    I've been carrying the Kimber Solo, and the M&P is a taller gun, it's just overall bigger. I'm wanting to make sure I'm comfy w/ that before I ditch the Solo. I think I'm going to hold onto both for a month and see which one I like best.

    I think the holster can make or break a pistol, so I ordered a Comp-Tac MTAC for the Shield. I carry the Solo in a Galco Kingtuk, and I really like the feel of that holster. It just disappears after wearing it for a while. I don't feel like I wear the tightest fitting clothing, but I hate feeling like I'm going to print. That's why I went from a Glock 19, to a H&K P2000, to a Springfield EMP down to the lil Solo. The Solo is made to carry. It's smooth on all edges, it's comfy , the mags are flush. The Shield is comfy to hold, and feels like a micro battle pistol. It does not look like corners were cut on this pistol. It breaks clean for a striker, and has a solid reset compared to any other M&P I've shot. It does however have a heavy trigger. If I decide to keep it, I'm going to order the APEX tactical kit for it. I've not had a chance to shoot it, but I'm hoping that like most striker fired pistols, it will run like a top. The M&P line seems to have a good track record. Until I get my MTAC in I tightened down the CTAC I have for my glock, and it seems to fit it just fine. I have that and a leather clip on glaco that fits it as well. I'll update this thread after I put some rounds down this lil guy.

    It may look close in size to the glock, but it's so much thinner.

    My next gun will either be a shield, or a Walther pps

      How much?

      I ordered one from GT Distributors last week but there is no telling how far back ordered they are right now.

          $499. Came w/ 1 7 round and 1 8 round mag. I think MSRP was $399 at first, but the price was raised to $449 and they throw in the extra mag.

          I think buds was the only place I ever saw them for $449.

            Just curious, why are you replacing the Solo, and why not keep them both? One can never have too many guns.

              Nice score. Any more info/pics of your desktop ammo comparison chart? That would make a great gift.

                This!

                Nice buy on the shield I like them a lot! I was really looking at getting my wife one for her CCW, but ended up getting her a Beretta Nano.

                  For now I'm holding onto them both.

                    What's your opinion on the Solo? Have a friend thinking about getting one but I told him I hadn't heard anything about them (reviews, nothing) and didn't know anyone that had one. Just curious what your opinion is of it.

                    Oh and what did you pay for it?

                      Feels great in the hands. Is super small so id feel good about carrying it every day. I'm not big on the finish, and wish I could find more things for it. I think i might order a mini tuck for it.

                        The guy in front of me at Cabelas bought one yesterday. I didn't notice what he paid.

                          Just curious. I've never held one before, never read any reviews, nor have I met anyone who's owned one before. Friend of mine was looking at getting one but he hasn't been able to find one locally. Let me know if you decide to sell it, he might be interested.

                            Well I just finished shooting my shield and I like it. If your buddy wants my Kimber PM me. I have an extra mag and a galco king tuk holster for it.

                              Love my Shield. Had to order it from Ohio as they pulled them off the trucks.
