I'm thinking that the with the price drops & rebates, the Shield will be upgraded soon. Akin to the M&P 2.0.
Yeah, those are the lines along which I'm thinking too.
Also, The manufacturers may have ramped up production anticipating Hillary as POTUS and are now overstocked.

Went with Palmetto for $319.99. No tax, free shipping. Paying a buddy $20 for transfer so $265 total isn't a bad deal. Thanks for the tip!

That little bugger is a good shooter, especially the 9mm ported. (not sure if porting would help, but the trigger is not bad and it is an accurate shooter.

I already had a Shield 9mm, but went ahead a bought a Shield .45. $245 after rebate. How could I pass it up. I see Palmetto State Armory has the Shield 9mm for $299.99 before rebate.
I bet the rebates are really hurting the sales of the Taurus PT111.

Does anyone know if you can use more than one rebate?

You can use one rebate for each pistol you buy. Buy two, get two rebates.

I picked up the 9mm no safety version from PSA and added the Apex flat faced enhancement trigger and duty/carry kit on mine. Although the trigger is much nicer I do not think it is enough improvement over stock to justify the cost. I will say that with the right ammo it sure is an accurate little pistol. Mine really liked the Cor-Bon Urban Response ammo and was extremely accurate with it.
