Many people bought them on the $75 rebate. Some may figured that they would give it a try and didn’t like it, others might have seen a golden opportunity to flip their gun for a profit.

Maybe a bunch of people bought them when the rebate was going on and are trying to make a few bucks by flipping them?

Personally I think the shield is kinda lame unless you have a CCW. The grip is relatively thin so the recoil feels pretty sharp in the palm of your hand. Maybe not a big deal if you’re fighting for life or death and unloading a mag into a bad guy in a dark alley, but I don’t find the shield to be very enjoyable at the range.

Or they were Sucked into the glockboy gene pool.

The Shield was designed specifically for CCW. If you think a Shield is bad, try a G43. The recoil pulse of both is gonna hurt less than a knife to the gut though.

But I agree, people bought them because of the rebate and probably suck shooting them (as do most people who shoot a single stack for the first time). I doubt anyone thought they would make any money flipping them for a $75 rebate minus DROS and at least 3 trips to the gun store.

I'm a glock guy. I love my shield, probably won't ever sell it

Me too, I'll be adding my 43 to my permit but I am keeping the Shield on there.

Someone asked the same thing about KSG's. The most popular response was because they suck. So following the same logic Shields must suck also.

Or they figured out Glocks really are perfection

FIFY

[i like boys a lot]

Many people bought them on the idea that they would get their ccw. I bought an xd compact and had to sale because I was denied

[theLBC]

i almost bought one..every day, and then i realize i live in LA county and will never have a permit to carry, and i dismiss the idea until the next day,

Ths Shield is a great little CCW.....conceals well, shoots like a bigger gun, very accurate at up to 10 yards (maybe more, but I don't practice at longer distances).

Recoil is fine for a small 9mm gun, not an issue to me. It is easy to shoot well.

I don't think you can beat it for the money as a CCW. I alternate with a PPS M2, which has a nicer build, but costs much more in Cali.

Agree a lot bought for the rebate.....

Small guns suck to shoot,

If you think small guns suck to shoot you have never shot a Sig P238 or P938. I also have a CW9 and it isnt bad but the Sigs are like butter.

Here is a deal for gluttons of punishment...
