When are M&P Shields available in CA?

Is the 40 already available in the older style and the 9mm is coming in June/July as the new style?

Will/When will private aftermarket barrels be available to convert from 40 to 9mm?

Thanks for any help you can give

You're kidding, right?

They expect CA compliant models on the market within 12 mo. The production hasn't started yet. Dealers are anxious to get it. The demand is huge.

They will renew Shields

Just SSE one. Got sick of waiting.

That sounds like good news to me, hopefully the ccw issues get sorted out by the time it arrives in stores here.

[Cyc Wid It]

I don't get it... they've been readily available for quite some time via exemption.

[BoJackUSMC]

You are just better off buying one through SSE, unless you exempt.

[hossb7]

I bought mine but I'm on the wait list for the SSE process. I think I got the last one in stock in Sacramento, paid $455 out the door.

Also, to my knowledge, S&W has said they're making the CA-compliant version Shield for at least a year. Don't hold your breath.

Smith & Wesson said they will keep renewing the CA compliant M&P Shield.

I'm $ure they are paying very clo$e attention to the po$$ibility of an imminent $pike in demand for compact handgun$ a$ a result of Peruta.
