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.

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

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