Anyone got one? Looked at one today and liked it. My banana fingers are non-.380 compliant. I can't hit a barn with the lcp and p238 size guns. Looking for something a little bigger. I'm not a keltec or db fan. For the money the S&W is way nicer! I looked at the lc9 but the trigger is horrid. The sig938 looks nice also but is it worth $200?

If you have Shield whats your thoughts on it?

I'm debating on either the Shield or the Walther PPS. I haven't handled a Shield yet, but it is about $150 less in price than the PPS... When Academy gets more Shields in -- they will be priced at $399. What was the going rate where you handled one?

Scotts in Jay and I didn't ask. Just saw what they were going for online. I'm sure they would match the academy price. $399 is a steal on that gun. PPS is a touch bigger and trigger was not as good as the Shield. The last walther I had was a bear to break down also. Shield is very similar to a glock in the tear down dept.

I think you meant is the Sig 938 worth 200 more. I haven't got my hands on one but have wanted to check one out. I have a PPS and really like it. It's rather simple and quick to break down so not sure why someone would think its a pain. They must be thinking of a different model. Hearing lots of good things on the shield. I've had some happy PPS owners tell me they like it a little better and at 399 it seems hard to go wrong imo.

Mikes sat. 449.95 thats MSP Cost on one before shipped is about 349.50. Most dist. have them on alc. wright mow. Jim's in Fort Wal. is 449.50 but said when they come more avab. the LEO price would may be 399.00. Got one on order with a FFL dealer, but having to wait. My 2 cents jj

I had one, felt decent unloaded, once loaded it was heavier than my g26, sold it, never looked back

its thin, but its not kahr-thin, or even taurus slim thin

I hated to trade mine off... wish I hadn't as a matter of fact... Probably going to buy another one. Just didn't feel right in my hand at first.... just about the time I was getting used to it, I traded it for a NIB 4th Gen G17

I'll have one at Outcast in a day and our everyday price is 399. If you're interested let me know. Like said above it's allocated and I only have one coming in at this time.

They are arriving at Academy more frequently now. I picked up a Shield 40 there yesterday afternoon. I would have preferred 9mm, but the 40 may grow on me...
