Starting July 1 and continuing for the rest of the year S&W is offering a $50 rebate on M&P pistols (not the M&P22) and a $100 rebate on M&P15 rifles (except the M&P15 Sport and the M&P15-22. They also offer a $30 rebate on revolvers. This is for active, retired, and disabled military and reservists.

That figures! Already have both! The M&P 40 in March and the 15 in May.

Rebate may still be availble from Jan-June program. Postmark deadline was July 16 for M&Ps purchased Jan 1-June 30. Email me offline and I will try to send you the rebate form.

It would be nice if THEY WOULD INCLUDE US OLDER VETS for a change too!!!

I sent my rebate form in a couple of months ago but haven't seen anything yet. How long does it take to get the rebate?

Usually takes about 8 weeks??? I thought they lost mine a couple of times, but I always eventually got it.

It would if you are retired, but agree would be nicer if all vets included.

I suspect, from their standpoint, this limits the number of people who can/will qualify for their rebate program. If they allowed those of us who were honorably discharged to participate, their costs for the rebate program would likely go up significantly. Oh well...

Does anyone know if S&W offers a discount program for law enforcement, like Glock's blue label program?

Uncle Sam beckoned and we answered his call. "We" were all promissed a lot of benifits,great jobs (from all the Military training) and other great stuff when we came home after our inlistments were up. ...we were sterotyped,spit on at airports (if in uniform) and got the run-a-round trying to find jobs when we got home. ...... I'll quit there while I'm still ahead.

Don't get me wrong,I'd still give my life for my country, freedom and the American way of life and do it all over again. Fun Travel Adventure.

It'd just be nice if S&W (and others) would remember us forgotten ones too.

I have never served in the military, but I agree.

I fit were up to me, all of our vets would be treated a lot better.

Thank you all for your service!

Yup.

I buy mine from Budspolicesupply online.

Chances are too,their sales might just skyrocket through the roof too.

I am under the impression that sales are already skyrocketing. I give them credit for the program even if I cannot participate. Some models are hard to get or in just enough of a short supply that you cannot negotiate on the price.

Regarding the way veterans are treated, sadly it has always been so. I doubt there are any WWI or even WWII veterans here, but they weren't treated well either. During the great depression, WWI veterans marched on DC for jobs and housing. In the years immediately after WWII, vets who committed crimes had their service mentioned in news articles. WWII vets with PTSD were pretty much told to "man up" and bear it. Audie Murphy slept with a 1911 under his pillow the rest of his life. My son is a Navy retiree and he had command of about 20 men. Yet he is working at just above minimum wage. It seems that the only jobs where military experience counts is railroads, post office, and airline pilots.

To all of you who have served in the US military, I say a hearty "thank you". IMO, you didn't serve for the freebies you might get afterward, you served out of a sense of duty to the country where you live. I salute you!

Thanks. And lets not forget the Korean vets that also got the bigger shaft on that so called "police action" they were in.

Here's the rebate info($100 M&P Rifle/$50 M&P Pistol/$30 Revolver) and link from Smith & Wesson's website:

"This offer is available to ALL active duty U.S. Military, Retired Military with retired Military Status, active National Guard Reservists and Disabled Veterans of all U.S. Military branches including U.S. Coast Guard. Customers wishing to take advantage of this offer are required to submit the following documentation: 1). the redemption coupon, 2). a copy of sales receipt and 3). a copy of the front side of your Military ID card (active or retired) or, a copy of a Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) or, a copy of your Military Orders. Please note; if submitting LES or Military Orders please attach a copy of your driver's license. "

Nation's Finest - Smith & Wesson

Bought my last 4 from the below and used the rebate, my present from last deployment, great deal !

Not that I expect it will accomplish anything or even elicit a reply but I sent the following email to the Smith and Wesson folks:

"Just a note to tell you how disappointed I am to hear about your new rebate program. Seems you have purposefully excluded all veterans, except those who stayed in for a career. I call that arbitrary and capricious discrimination.

It won't keep me from buying a Smith product if I like it. I already own a number of your products and enjoy them greatly. A rebate has never been the deciding factor in buying one either.

Nevertheless, I think your new rebate program is an insult to most of the nation's veterans. You might want to consider how many other vets feel the same as I do."

As mentioned...yes and exact same price to boot

I sent a note about "how about the rest of us Vets?" I did get a recieved reciept,and I imagine a quick delete after that.

The ironic thing. ALL Vets took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. I figured that was a life time oath. Where would all those manufactures and CEO's be right now if we had some how lost our 2 A rights?

Same here! Retired Army. Now, if they just had something I want.

Unfortunately, the coupon excludes M&P Shield pistols and that's the only one I'm currently interested in.

I do have a coupon from S&W that doesn't exclude the M&P Shield pistols but it expires June 30 and I doubt if I'll find one by then.

Probably not since today is July 5th.....

I bought a Shield in May and used the rebate, haven't received it yet, but the tracking site shows it as a valid entry received. Now that I see this rebate is going on again, I'm wondering if I can grab a full size and use the rebate again. The small print says limit one per promotional reriod so I think I will be good.

You can track it here: Milano Online Rebate Inquiry

So that's why I heard all them damn fireworks.

And you also get the rebate so it's actually cheaper than Glock.

Correct, until DEC 12

Is the rebate good for the M&P Shield?

I looked online but cannot seem to find a link to this particular rebate.

No, it's excluded from the rebate unfortunately.

I'm on week 12 and still waiting for mine. Have called several times after the 8-10 week period and they keep telling me that it takes 8-10 weeks to recieve it. But when I tell them this is week 12, I hear crickets a on the other end of the line and get the answer of, it is being processed.

I think they might listen if everyone sent an email. I'm not a veteran, but my brother was in the Marines for six years (Desert Shield/Storm) and my uncle was an artillery forward observer in Vietnam so I know what you guys have done and I appreciate it.

Mailed mine in on 5/15/12. No rebate yet...

What? I think you got bamboozeled. You can buy M&P's right now for $398 with stick sights and $455 with night sights under the 1st responder plan.

Edit: and you can get Glocks for the same $398 under the Blue Label program.

Bought my blue label Glock 17 back in February for $398 and I am retired military. Wanted to buy my Shield 9mm at the same LE distributor but there was not a LE model of the Shield - All the other M&P models were available at the discount BUT not the Shield. Had to pay MSRP for the Shield...

I think they are starting to come in now. I know Buds recently sold out of the LE ones. My LE LGS has some on order but haven't checked lately.

Figures - That what I get for buying the first Shield I could find...

Hey at least you got one I'm in no hurry right now. I think they are going for $335 if I'm not mistaken. I may give them a call tomorrow just for GP.

Same here....I've bought 2 MP's and a Ruger SR9C from buds Police Supply in the last 2 months.

Will be buying two more MP's next month. Great deals and fantastic prices!

Just checked, and the Shield has no rebates. To bad liked the coin, along with $50.00 that have sent in the past.

For all those discontented S&W M&P owners - Think of the market that just closed for S&W - "CA shooters are no longer allowed to purchase a new S&W M&P firearm".
I personally want to acknowledge the makers of the extremely fine firearm that I just purchased; a S&W M&P9. I couldn't be happier and satisfied with this firearm,

Thank you Smith and Wesson

- - - and all around good guy.

It is pretty sad as an ex Vietnam era veteran we were spit on when we came on home by friends and even strangers. Now S&W is spitting on us too, by not including all vets who served there country, especially during wartime in the current rebate program. I guess they consider us just all washed up, and meaningless.

So would their profit from the number of guns they sold !!

I wasn't spit on when I came back from Vietnam having served in 1969. It looks like the rebates were discontinued Dec 31. 2015. Are there new rebates. I do draw a small disability from Vietnam.

New rebate as of July 1 through Dec 31, 2016. Got my PC Shield today, but confused on what paperwork to send. As a retiree, I don't have an LES, so do I just send a copy of my military ret ID???????? Thanks in advance

I sent a copy of my retired ID (DD Form 2, retired) for the old rebate. Remember to cover the SSN or DoD ID Number when you copy the ID...

Thanks my man! Thought that was the case!

The Shield is NOT eligible for the rebate, sorry Charlie!

well that sucks!
