M&P Shield Vs. LC9

[unamused]

dang it!! I just picked up a buckmark yesterday... I guess I'll have to wait 30 days before I start a shield dros. I didnt realize they were already reaching dealers in CA.

Good question OP. I was wondering the same thing myself but I can't get my hands on a M&P in San Diego to see how it feels and maybe try it out. Sucks lol

Hmm very nice.

No SSE, Canyon Sports just happen to get one in...I paid "gasp" $550 OTD, but it was worth it!

Just about anything is better than a LC9. Terrible feel and even worse trigger.

The Shield looks like a nice piece for a reasonable price; possibly even a "can't lose" purchase.

Well it wasn't on the list at the time you bought it and it wasn't the version that's on the list now... they technically broke the law but I know gun stores that sell guns off list. It's really impossible to enforce. You got lucky though, they might not do that forever.

No..It made the list on 7/12/12...I bought on 7/28/12.

Mine wasn't SSE'd either. Just because the non-CA compliant model was sold in CA, without SSE, doesn't mean the transaction was illegal. There are plenty of people in CA that are exempt from the restrictions of the roster.

Just to clear any confusion...My Shield was not SSE'd, was bought after it made the CA Roster and I am not a LEO.

Only thing that my shop could be considered guilty of is selling my Shield to me for $30 over MSRP, which happens to alot of items when they first hit the streets in low numbers and high demand.

The model you bought was not the CA approved version. The CA approved version has the pop up loaded chamber indicator.

According to the S&W website, no it's not, but none of my other counterparts that have their Shields have the "rooster comb" either. Who's fault is that?

Look, according to your screenname, your a security guard or rent a cop as I call them...are you going to try and bust us for having as you call it, non compliant Shields? What Safeway do you patrol so that I can avoid that store all together....

Can't you just be happy for the rest of us that got one? No, you have to keep pushing and pushing. Give it a rest man and get the *&^@ off my back about whether or not my Shield is fricken legal or not...OK!!!

I bought it fair and square...do I have to show you my reciept???
