Viper Report post Posted April 1, 2017 Seems like good prices, after rebate...but it seems there is a availability issue. I really like my shield 9mm. Very comfortable to carry apendix style. I'd like to shoot the performance model with ported barrel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ctracingraptor Report post Posted April 1, 2017 Shield $329 + tax = $360 minus the $75 rebate and you're at $285 for a shield and that is smoking deal for anyone in the market Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
452b264 Report post Posted April 1, 2017 The trigger on the PC Shield is really nice, no grit just a smooth trigger and its reset is tactile. The ported barrel is also nice when using the heavier bullets. I love mine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(The ones listed above) And if you ship to Bell rd. pawn the transfer fee is only 15 dollars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanclan4 Report post Posted April 1, 2017 No joke guys, I just bought two Taurus 709 slims for $185 a piece from Grab a Gun and paid $25 for the transfer fee with AZ Firearms in Gilbert. $20 for the first one and $5 for the second, nice little concealed carry pistol and Taurus has a lifetime warranty. My wife has a plinker and I have a concealed pistol. Only came with one magazine so I'll order a few more, just have to make sure they have an indent running down each side when I do, seems the smooth magazines are a bit tight according to some reviews Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ported barrel is also nice when using the heavier bullets. I love mine! Just curious, have you shot the PC Shield in low light? Wondering if the ported barrel flash would be blinding enough to cause a problem with your vision? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wondering if the ported barrel flash would be blinding enough to cause a problem with your vision? Yes I have shot it and no it doesn't affect your vision, you wont notice its ported. The muzzle blast is dispersed in a large V but the angle is much wider. If you make it up to the north end of Phoenix you can shoot mine. I put over 500 rounds and 7 different types of ammo through it without single FTF or FTE. As far as it being louder I havent noticed since I practice with ear muffs/plugs. I dont believe you will notice any added volume during a defensive situation. Just like hunting you dont notice the recoil or the noise when things happen real fast.

hoghntr Report post Posted April 2, 2017 I owned a shield in 40 and would not buy another unless it were the ported model. 9mm is very a shootable but like Martin said guess the fancier one has smoother trigger. So by time you put night sights and apex trigger in a shield ya might as well buy fancier model. Do they make 1 with night sights and trigger but not ported?

rossislider Report post Posted April 2, 2017 Never had a gun shipped. How do you do the FFL thing? Do you contact the party where the gun will be shipped too before you buy? What is the process? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
