How am I going to make it!
 
To the end of the month without buying a new Shield, Bodyguard or SD

Shield 9mm $245
http://palmettostatearmory.com/smith...ety-10035.html

Bodyguard .380 $199
http://palmettostatearmory.com/smith...er-109381.html

SD9 $235
http://palmettostatearmory.com/smith...sh-223900.html

Seriously, under $200 for a NEW Smith with 2 mags.

Damn.. those are great prices.

BadOscar 04-11-2017 11:48 PM

Was thinking about the XDs too. Price is $409 at Buds but Springfields promo is pretty good.

It's definitely a buyers market right now, take advantage of it while you can!

YES....even the local shops here the prices are lowest I have ever seen them. I am really liking this trump administration. Even powder went down. My loved 231 was down to 23.99 where it was up as high as 29.99.

Its a good time to be a alive.

If you need another AR then, palmetto has a deal with an AR and an XDS for under $800

My struggle is whether to go snatch up a police trade-in S&W .38 4" stainless priced at $350. I know, what am I waiting for.

Gatorade 04-12-2017 10:27 AM

Well I am not buying yet. This would not be a NEED but just a want. Even though a full size 9 would be good to have, I have read enough to think the SD may not be a great one. The Shield has higher capacity and is 9mm vs .380. Without the laser the Bodyguard isn't as appealing. So for $45 more I think I would choose the Shield. Now I need to think about it for a little and hope it sells out, then kick myself for years to come!

The Shield 9mm is a great ccw. The capacity is not bad considering how thin the grip is. Also, you can get the "mag guts" kit and increase your mag to +2 with no added length. If anyone here doesn't have a shield and has been thinking about one.....now is the time. That price is a steal!

S&W has a $75 rebate. I don't mind the 10 day delay at all. Some things get backed up. The better the price the longer the wait I can tolerate :)

Just ordered a Shield. Now where to buy extra mags?

Love it... "Need" vs. "Want"... A few years back, I told my wife that I wanted to pick up a new pistol. She said... and I quote: "You have several... what do you NEED a new gun for?" I sat back for a moment... looked at her and replied: "I didn't say I NEED a new gun, I said that I wanted a new gun."

Now you know... if you're married... what "the sigh" sounds like. "SIGH..." OK, so why do WANT a new gun?" I let her stew on it for a few seconds and then said: "How much did our 401K's increase this past year?".... She gave me a number in the single digits... and I replied "My gun collection has increased over 100% in the past 12 months." Mrs. reply?....

"OH.... Ok."

I've never heard another word on the subject. Now you may not be able to use this as long as Trump is in office, but it's invaluable when the Dems are at the helm.

Yep, I have a budget but usually it goes to reloading supplies. I too don't ever really "need" another gun its always a big want.

Reloading and cycling usually eat up my "budget" quickly.

Never mind

Maybe you need to combine them. Get a bicycle powered reloading machine!

That was pretty cool, the reload itself is pretty awesome but to pedal for the proper amps would be wild. I think I will stick to Dillon though!

Shield showed up at my FIL the FFL today. I told Kayla it's hers so she can get her first NICS check tomorrow.

sdmc530 04-20-2017 09:16 PM

good deal....I want to see some dirty gun pics too.

BadOscar 04-20-2017 09:27 PM

This was the test run with a friends shield. Now she will have her own.
