I called my LGS yesterday and asked if they had the CORE 5 inch in stock. Unfortunately they did not but they did say they had a 5 inch model. I asked if it was the Pro and he said no. He said it's got night sights. I asked for the SKU and he said it's 305701. A M&P9L? Well, I went today and it's a brand new M&P9L with the angled cut where the guide rod is. Now, I thought these were discontinued. Is S&W making another run on these?
Edit: The M&P9L has the newer sear with the better reset. It also has the rear sight with a ledge, unlike the previous one with the slanted rear sights.
