Shields will be available used within 6 months. Great job by S&W for building the hype and unloading a bunch of guns and $ on gear. That is great marketing. It won't be a long-term hit. Next time they try the hype, it better be something great! Remember...I've owned 3 M&Ps and carry a 9c when I can.
Just like the Bodyguard line. Sold a bunch the first month on the market, then DOA. People will realize the gun has no nitch. Too big and too small. We'll see them on sale for $325 before the summer is over. With the last couple of gun designs, it seems like S&W is just not grasping what people want.
