This shipping method has been around for several years... many retailers have tried it because of the low cost versus UPS or FedEx ground shipments. For small, inexpensive items it is a good method - who wants to buy a $5 item and pay $10 to ship it? If the order is $100 or more, most everyone...

The difference is, they DO NOT PAY the published rates. So the real difference is much greater than you think. They likely receive a discount (ground) of greater than 25%

It's got everything to do with Midway... They are using a UPS service called SurePost (similar product to FedEx SmartPost)... It's a cheaper service whereby UPS/FedEx delivers to a U.S. Postal Service distribution center, who then delivers it to your door. It's cheap... and you get what you...

My M&P40 Pro 5" C.O.R.E

Two things funny here... Maryland is called the "Free State" - how is that for irony? And yes, I literally meant I waited 56 days from when I wrote the check until I was called to pick up the gun. The Maryland background check was STILL not completed. ATF told MD dealers that they were...

Again... on my person is out of the question unless I want to go to jail. "Arming yourself right" is no longer possible in my state unless you can "prove the need". While I personally would be comfortable with it in the house (loaded), I am not comfortable with having it loaded based on the...

You are the only exception... Maryland is "the new California"... It's like a competition for our governor. This one backfired. He basically armed the entire state.:D

Carrying the gun in my state is simply no longer a possibility. Some of you have no idea how good you have it in your state. Not only can I not carry it... in a few months I'll need to pay for my own background check and fingerprinting just to buy another handgun

Thanks everyone... my kids are all over 18. Unfortunately, some are still at home :eek: Dad was law enforcement for 25 years - in fact he still qualifies every year to keep his concealed carry permit (at 75 yrs old). He's old school ( S&W .38 2") so not much help with my M&P. Good to know...

Thank you very much! Can't see how to "thank you" on forum?? They have 2 less mags in stock now. Also bought 2 boxes of the American Eagle .40 FMJ. So much for their email notification. Never got one.

Ok, so I'm new to the semi-auto handgun world. I recently picked up my M&P 40L Pro after a short 56 day waiting period. Thank you Maryland legislators for giving me the "push" I needed to buy one. Anyway - not new to guns or handguns for that matter. I would like to keep this gun fairly...

So the 15 rd .40 mags were available? Not anymore - at least not on Midway's website. Not even to backorder. I would like to buy a couple before I can't anymore (October 1 in Maryland).

I'll look when I get the chance, but I think mine is like the pic (with the pin and the arrow).

I was wondering the same thing... picked up my CORE Saturday... put 40 rounds through it yesterday. I'm not sure what I'm looking for in the picture above. I live in MD... so carrying it anywhere is out of the question. I'm lucky I even got the gun (bought it in May) - my state background...
