• Q: M&p 9 shield suitable for the left-handed shooter?

  • Answered
  • Asked 01/02/2022 23:17 by Trevor S

  A:

  This has a reversible magazine release, and a slide stop on both sides. The slide stop on the right hand side of the pistol doesn't really work as a slide release, but can be used to lock the slide to the rear, and you can release the slide by using the over the top sling shot method.
  So yes this would work fine for a lefty.

• Q: Does anyone have any estimate for when gun manufacturers will be able to supply CA compliant semi handguns? I am interested in this, Beretta PX4 Storm, and a few others. All top models are out of stock everywhere.

  A:

  David, unfortunately not at this time. With the current Pandemic and Protesting increasing demand and supply being low, these have been out of stock since early this year. There were supply issues with the CA Shields being out of stock since the end of last year.

• Q: If I buy this can I buy the CT grip green laser after market? Will it still be legal? Any chance the 2.0 will be California approved in the near future?

  • Answered
  • Asked 04/26/2020 04:13 by Thomas F

  A:

  Thomas, yes it will Sir. The 2.0 will likely never be CA submitted by S&W. CA makes it difficult and expensive. You can see the sheer number of manufacturers that told CA to kick rocks as attested to models that used to be compliant but were not renewed by makers here (and the list grows thinner) : https://www.oag.ca.gov/firearms/de-certified-handguns
• Q: How soon will we see more of these 9mm? Is Smith and Wesson making more?

  • Answered
  • Asked 04/24/2020 20:11 by Leigh W

  A:

  Leigh, it will be a minute with the recent surge of orders and the depletion of supply chain stick. Just place it on both your Wish and Notify Me list and Buds will notify you when available again. Cheers and stay safe!

• Q: Can the loaded chanber indicator be set to unfunctional? I dont like it.

  • Answered
  • Asked 10/03/2019 23:30 by Craig J

  A:

  Well, ultimately you can. But I don’t recommend it. California will get angry. If you happen to use it in a self defense situation and it’s concluded you altered the firearm it won’t be a good idea. The loaded chamber indicator is a major function that makes the pistol CA compliant. You don’t want to risk your Second Amendment right. I know it’s weird, but in the eyes of the law it’s a no no.
