Clear Collusion

I've been noticing that the Gen 1.0 S&W M&P 9 Shield has been going for cheap at a couple of vendors.

Palmetto State has the best price at $250 and the "sale ends" date keeps shifting.  It ends tomorrow and has been scheduled to end tomorrow for a couple weeks.

So what?  They're on sale.  Rumor has it that a distributor, expecting a Hillary win, bought a shit-ton of these things from S&W to sell in what would have been a white-hot gun market.

Hillary didn't win (I love typing that)!

The collusion comes from Midway selling the magazines for about half off too.

I wonder if they laid in magazines with the same election result in mind.

Still, it makes the thing really attractive.  I'm not finding many complaints about them not working or a fundamental flaw.  The changes from Gen 1.0 to 2.0 was also very small, nearly cosmetic.

A solid performer for a bargain price?

I do not need one.  I do not have the money for one.

But YOU might.

    I've been thinking this same thing for a couple months, since I noticed the rock bottom prices on em. If one were flush with cash and of a "super prepper" mindset, it would be smart to lay in about 10 of these, about 50 mags and 5 or so crates of ammo. It would be a quick and (relatively) cheap way to have a standardized sidearm for a smallish group.

    Thanks for the tip on midway selling the mags cheap! I just bought two of the performance center Gen 1.0 in 9mm. So far they are great little pistols.
