Actually the m&p shield will be nearly impossible to find anywhere, especially at a gun show. If there is one he will definitely pay a lot more than MSRP for it. Every shop in the state has a waiting list of approx. 15+ people. Cabela's says 50+. Aside from jumping on a waiting list, the only option for picking up a shield is to pay a premium on gunbroker or to watch Pafoa and wait for one to get posted to the classifieds. There were two in the last month or so but both were 9mm and both were priced around 500, which is way too much. Both sold within hours though.
Gun shows are hit or miss, but regardless of which show you go to the best time to go is as early as you can on the first day. If you go in with an objective and run through the show scanning the tables for what you're looking for and ignoring the other junk, you might actually find something good at a reasonable price.
