Pricewise, I'll agree with the above, and say that your all-in cost for the M&P is not outrageously out of line in some areas of the country. If the stocks are indeed for an N-frame, you did better, as N-frame Magnas do have considerable interest, and you could sell them and buy more correct K-frame grips and still have a good bit of change left over. At least you got a fairly cheap lesson on the value of knowing exactly what you are buying before you buy it.
