Shield 9mm at Cheyenne

Recommended Posts

If anyone is looking for a shield there's one at Cheyenne for $420. They also had a XDs .45 and an XDm 9mm. Their handgun case was pretty bare. I went in yesterday and there couldn't have been more than 15 people in the store in the morning, it was so NICE!

 

Saw the three exact guns mentioned above today at Tips Hardware. This was only the second shield I saw on the shelf in a dozen shops I visited the last few months. I think the Shield was $440 but call first.

After some very extensive searching I have found that if you purchase the shield in 40 all you need to do is purchase a 9mm barrel from S&W with 9mm magazines and you have 2 calibers that shoot perfectly. I have a 9mm on lay away till my permits get here and may see if I can change it for a 40 cal.........if they have one.

i believe you can make a .40 cal a 9mm but you can not make a 9 a .40, has something to do with the hood lengths/spacing? atleast thats what ive seen on some other forums where the question was asked.

Well yes and no, 40 to 9 is no issue but you "can" go from 9 to 40 with a little "machine" work on the 40 barrel to fit the 9 slide. Supposedly, there is only a few thousandths of material that needs to be taken off to fit.....although some folks have done that conversion (9 to 40) ...I would not.

    • Looking to pick up a Kriss vector  in 9mm.  Let me know what you got.   Thanks Chris  
    • If you’re going to VA, buy 2 radios.  Program one for here and one for there.  If you guys are buying Baofeng radios do yourself a favor and get a tactical antenna for it,it’ll extend your reach.
    • Both our memories are a bit lacking. 3 bystanders were hit by NYPD bullets and 6 were hit by fragments at the Empire State Building shooting. The bullets later were determined to have passed through the bad guy as I said. He was not a big guy. The police fired 16 rds and 7 hit the bad guy.  Spray and pray?  I think not.  These officers fired until the threat was stopped and everyone is moving. Have you ever tried to hit a moving target whilst you're moving.  If you watch the video from where the police encounter him, the BG draws his gun from his bag, NYPD guys shoot, and the BG hit the ground is about 2 or 3 seconds.  The closest officer is maybe 12 feet or less.  The closest cover are those concrete flower pots.  If the officers chose to take cover before drawing the BG would have had a chance to shoot at least one officer. Know your target and beyond?  Agree 100%.  However, this by the Empire State Building at 9 am during the week.  There are bystanders and traffic in every direction.  The officers had a choice of doing what they did or letting the BG shoot them with his 1911 and shoot someone else. I think they made the right choice and the same one I would have made.  The officers exercised the best option in protecting themselves and the public. The first video is the police shooting.  The second is more detailed and gives you a lot of background information on the shooter. One thing this shows is if NYPD had to use fmj undoubtedly more bystanders would have been wounded perhaps killed.  NJ's hollowpoint law. only creates more danger to the public.
