I received a reply from S&W on this model. The following is what I received:
---Yes, that SKU has been discontinued.
---The whole 1911 line is in the midst of multitude of changes.
---The only thing I can suggest is to stay tuned.
I called and got nothing further. I guess maybe something...
Thats what I'm seeing as well. Seems like there should have been some kind of information about it being removed. Searching their (S&W) site yields nothing.
I am looking to buy the S&W 1911 PC Model 170258. I cannot see it on the S&W website any longer. Search finds nothing. Anyone heard anything about this one being discontinued?
I tried searching but cannot find the answer. I am trying to determine if the M&P 45 can use +P ammo. Specifically the MagTech Guardian Gold 45B.
Its specs:
BULLET
Bullet Style: GGJHP
Weight (Grains): 230
Weight (Grams): 14.90
Diameter (inches): 0.451
Sectional Density: 0.161
Ballistic...

For what it is worth, I have the M&P in the 45 Full size and the compact. I have put about 300-400 rounds through both in the last month.
I can shoot equally well with either one inside 30'. At 75+ I'm a bit better with the Full. With the Crimson Trace on the Full turned on I am much more...
Update, I got word from Lasermax that it does not fit the M&P Compact models.
Anyone have ideas for a good, low profile laser for a M&P compact with 4" barrel?
I am looking for a laser sight for the 45 M&P Compact, 8rd mag. The Lasermax says it needs 1.75" rail. That is very close on the compact version. Anyone using one on the compact? (4" barrel")
Crimson race for compact does not fit the 45.

Thanks for the input.
I went ahead and got myself a S&W 45 ACP M&P full size. I'm now looking for the .45 ACP M&P Compact 8+1 version. It is a bit smaller than the mid size one I had seen. It should compliment my new full size very well.
Found the gun with the thumb safety, but think I want it...
Update...
Did some more reading. The Crimson Trace LAser sight is not compatible with the safety version of this gun.
That seems odd. If the safety is on the left side (Right hand shooter), seems like the right side would be clear for the laser. I think it is a reversible safety so the off...
I can't seem to find information or an available S&W .45 ACP M&P Compact. It is the smallest of the .45 M&Ps with an 8+1 mag. The one I am looking for is the one with the thumb safety.
I can't even track down a consistent model number for this one. It's not on the S&W site. They have the 4"...
