Default M&P 9mm Pro hard to find

Newbie here, I have been looking for a M&P 9mm Pro series with the 5' barrel for a few months now, does anybody know why they are so scarce? The ones that I did find are through the roof on price. I see that they are very popular for competition use.

One of my co-workers picked up an M&P Pro when it first came out. It is a very nice pistol and the trigger is WAY better than my issued M&P40C. And when they say the proof is in the pudding... The first two rounds I fired with the M&P Pro went into the SAME HOLE at around 15'. I promptly put the pistol down and said there was no way beat that and I quit while I was ahead.

If you ever find one for sale I am sure that you will be happy with it. And now my buddy wants the .40 cal version of the same pistol so he can have a matched pair. He carries the full size M&P40 and would undoubtedly prefer the 40 Pro if it was authorized and had night sights over the fiber optic tube in the front!

We have a Cabela's and they just sold their last one last weekend.

They are trying to get another one in for me.

I'm gonna try a gun show this weekend.

An alternative would be to pick up a M&P9L and put in your Apex competition kit.

I believe the L is just longer barrel while the Pro has longer barrel and competition tuned trigger.

@ vista461

Thanks for the tip.

I called Cabela's and asked for them to inter store transfer one for me.

It got here is 4 days.



I picked it up last Thursday and shot the britches off of it over the holiday weekend.

Very nice shooting gun.

Zero problems and very accurate.

I hate going to Cabela's ...

You never know what's going to follow you home from there.

I just happened to look at this too.

And up jumped the devil .. it got into my pocket.

Sig Sauer 1911 / 22



I didn't even know this gun existed 2 weeks ago.

Fun shooter.
