If nothing else, if this happens maybe some of the parts floating around in various armories would be sold as surplus. Depending of course on how deep the parts inventory is.
OTOH, if these agencies decided to get away from the S&W 3rd generation guns, there is no guarantee to S&W that the replacements would be M&P guns. They might opt to go to some other companies all metal guns.
10-15 years is a long time away, though, so who knows what will happen?

I've been told that they'd like to see the 3rd gen's completely go away from production (even for existing agency customers who have used them for many years) within the next 10-15 years. This would mean the CHP (CA), WVSP, NYPD, LAPD and any number of others would have to agree to replace their 3rd gen's with M&P's.
