Where are our IPs. I want to buy local.

Got a null response when I asked back on page 2. I'm all for buying local, and understand the benefits. With a limited time offer, I went ahead and bit the PSA offer when I heard nothing from our IPs. I just did not have time to shop locally.
If anyone ordered from Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore, did yours ship yet? I ordered a 9mm Shield w/thumb safety last Sunday morning and a week later it has not shipped yet. I am patient but I will be hella pissed if they end up "running out of stock" or something and can't fill the order...

I purchased the Shield 9mm and added the Talon grip. I love it, i enjoy shooting it. Haven't had any problems with it, I've probably put 400 rounds through it. Price is great. Thats about what i paid for mine. Depending on what you do for work, S&W has a program for fire/ems/police/first responders.

Wish I didn't need an HQL for one...
As I have said I will match any "out the door" online price.
I went with JLowe. He is the only IP to respond.
Mine says shipped but the tracking number not active yet
Meaning they printed the sticker but it isn't in the hans of the carrier yet. Such a tease....

I've had my Shield 9mm for 2 months now. Yep, bought it before the rebates were out there. I paid $308 + $40 transfer which was a great deal then. Anyways...
Love the way the gun feels in my hand. Love how it carries. Don't love the trigger but I blame my VP9 for ruining me on triggers. Good thing Apex has products to fix the trigger.
Magazines? PSA just had them for $19 during one of their daily deals. I think we'll see more prices like this. Normally the magazines are about $23-25 ea.
I'm on the path to discover this myself. I believe holsters are really a personal preference and what works or is comfortable for one person may not work/be comfortable for another. That said, so far I've purchased the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 IWB holster, the Blade-Tech Revolution Klipt Appendix IWB, and the CYA IWB holster. Some links:
Alien Gear:
I returned the Blade-Tech holster promptly after receiving it. I primarily carry at 4:30/5 position and not AIWB - although flexibility in holster design to allow both is nice. The Blade-Tech is designed and advertised as an AIWB holster and excelled at that. I wanted to see if it would work in other positions as well and found that it allowed too much movement when used at 4:30/5 position. The width of the clip (too narrow) allowed way too much change in the angle of carry. It also seemed rather cheaply made and not quite worth the price.
My first Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 was bought for my VP9 and I love it for that gun. The design of the holster allows for a lot of adjustment. Depth of carry, cant, retention pressure, etc. AG includes a bunch of different length spacers and screws to add to that. The Cloak Tuck holster is pretty much designed for carry @ 4:30/5 position though - you can't use it for AIWB at all. Fine by me! The Cloak Tuck 3.0 is very comfortable, stays put, and Alien Gear's customer support is impressive. The VP9 holster shell I have is one of their molded types. The Shield shell arrived as a non-molded design - it's more of a cast design. I played with the numerous spacers that AG sends but couldn't find a similar feeling of positive retention that I have with my VP9. One e-mail to AG and I had a new molded shell for the Shield on it's way to me in very short time. Alien Gear support sent the shell without charge - I will be sending back the cast shell though. For secure 4:30/5 position carry and excellent customer service, Alien Gear is where it's at. Value for cost is extremely high considering the adjustability, build quality, and support. It sacrifices a bit in that the design is for the 4:30/5 carry position but it also excels in comfort and stability in that position.
Last but not least is the CYA IWB holster. I really like the CYA holster a lot. It has a very positive engagement as the holster slides over the trigger guard when inserting/removing the Shield. It allows for AIWB carry as well as many other positions: 4:30/5, or really any place you find it comfortable. The design uses a single clip but the clip is wide enough to reduce the changes in angle that I found fault with in the Blade-Tech holster. This holster is also very easy to insert and remove. With a two-clip holster like the Alien Gear, you usually have to undo your belt, unbutton, and unzip to install the holster. With the CYA you can really just pop it in and pop it back out again. The CYA feels to be very well made and seems to be a good value for cost. For options between AIWB and other carry positions it excels.

Wow that's pretty fast shipping. I need to check out GunBuyer next time.Doesn't their site have a notice about high demand and extended ship times?

Midway has S&W mags on sale 25% off. Is there a better deal on mags? I need a few extras for my new Shield.

Damn. A one day sale? I snoozed. I losed. Thanks anyway for the heads-up.
On the other hand, I got my "Congratulations you are not disapproved!" email from the popo today, so as soon as I can get to Blue Fins I'll have a new addition to the family. Hey, I need to keep buying more guns so that no one can say I'm not a "genuine" collector, right?
