Does anyone have any insight into the availability of the M&P Shield 9mm?
Love to get one if I could find one.

You just have to call around frequently and be ready to strike when one appears and also look online frequently. You can also watch the classifieds here as I did and wound up with a 9mm Shield for my wife for $400. You can also put a deposit down on one at a local gun shop and just wait until it appears. From what I've seen it can be a short wait or it can be a long wait. It just depends on the distributor and what they have and who is on their priority list. $100 down at NW Armory and they'll order one for you and, if you wound up not wanting it when it came in, they would issue a full refund.
