So how many are going to be on a waiting list for the new Shield in 45acp?

Hadn't heard about this... sounds like something I would like. No... LOVE!

not I

 

[Shadowrider]

Nope. I'd be all the hell over a .357 Sig tho...

If only.... you and me both.

I cant fathom why S&W quit building their M&P chambered in .357 Sig and never have made a 5" Pro model in 10mm.

They didn't sell enough .357Sig M&Ps to keep them in the lineup. A 10mm would be great and maybe sell more than the .357Sig.

Fine, just make a conversion barrel then.

There was one for 10mm...a limited run. I'm guessing someone would make a .357Sig conversion barrel if there was any market for it. Don't get me wrong, I'm a .357Sig fan too...carried one for years.

I don't think there's a single difference in their .40SW and .357Sig except the barrel. Beyond that it's just markings and packaging? Glock clearly sold enough of theirs. I just don't buy it, unless they are just completely eat up with the Kaizen/Six Sigma/Lean BS in their accounting dept. which is entirely possible, I've seen some really stupid stuff in that vein.
