Like you, I’m a fan, but all that machine work cost $$$….they couldn’t compete with much cheaper guns (all with polymer frames).
Still, the 3rd Gen was the apex of their auto pistol craftsmanship.

I like the new Equalizer even though I won't be buying one. If I didn't have another 9mm S&W, I would consider it. There's a market for it with people who have dexterity problems.
I'm kind of a glock guy. But the Shields are tack drivers.
shield 1.0 then shield 2.0 then shield plus (higher cavity)...parallel progression with the shield ez and the equalizer is a shield ez 2.0 with higher capacity; currently I do not own any s&w semiautos & won't be able to get any for a long while due to tight budget
If they would make it in a .40 caliber, I would probably buy one.
There’s always the 4006. Or the DAO variant, the 4046. You can find a nice one for $400-$500.
I think demand for .40 is weak. Probably always be around. I personally see no "need" for it considering the cost of the Ammo.
But then again I'm fine with carrying my .380 LCP Max with 12+1. Yea, more expensive than 9mm but I shoot it just enough to be competent with it.
I got no use for 10mm short.
9mm short on the other hand....
Of course i walk around with a 111 year old design...
