452b264 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? I havent seen one from the factory. I bought my PC shield from Grabagun for 389. The trigger alone is worth the extra money to me, but I hear the newer shields have a better trigger than the earlier models.

452b264 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? Most dealers have a list of FFLs for you to choose from within your zip code (AT CHECKOUT), I use Bell rd pawn they are close and only charge $15. Some FFl dealers want you to call and let them know a firearm is being shipped to them. Bell rd Pawn wont send their FFL until the sending dealer gives them a call to confirm they are a Licensed dealer, then they will email it to them without issue. If your FFL is listed on the dealers web site (FFL ON FILE) the gun will ship without any delay or phone call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanclan4 Report post Posted April 2, 2017 Yes you do then order the gun and either email them the dealer info or send it during the application process, find out what they charge for a transfer fee first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoghntr Report post Posted April 2, 2017 Remember the last part of what you just read above from Tanclan4.👆 And don't use Omega on carefree hwy for import or especially export! L.O.L. I went in to ship a pistol to my father-in-law went through all the paperwork forgot to ask him how much it was going to cost and right at the end he said oh by the way it's $75. 😬 pkg and ship and ffl use of course but holy crap. Place i was shipping to insisted on it coming from ffl but any other would have been better choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rossislider Report post Posted April 2, 2017 Thanks for the help and tips. I was able to pick one up and found an FFL they had listed that is just a couple miles from me out here in San Tan Valley that only charges $15 for concealed permit holders. After all fees are paid and rebates, should be about $260. Hard to beat that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigandy Report post Posted April 2, 2017 Contact the ffl holder where you will have the gun shipped to and they will need to get their ffl license number to the seller. You will to get the contact information to each party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
