I have an order in to S&W for a few 25 round magazines (Product: M&P15-.22 25 RD Magazine).

I notice after placing the order that their website does not show any kind of status. It lists the basic info on the order, but no "processing", "shipped", etc. There doesn't even appear to be a placeholder for it. Heck, it doesn't even display my shipping address.

Has anyone else ordered from the recently and know if these magazines are actually in stock and shipping?

I ordered as well & nothing but a Order Confirmation eMail yet,They were more than likely closed for the holidays & will open back up tomorrow.

S&W reopens tomorrow. I am calling regarding my order also.

Bob.

They may be laying low right now.

The Smith&Wesson store is famous for telling customers items are on back order AFTER you call looking for a status update. On the bright side, they won't charge your credit card until the order is actually filled. I've been waiting for M&P .22 magazines for 6 weeks.

Ouch... have you contacted them? And did they give you any sort of ETA on having yours?

Yes, sir. They told me over 7,000 were on back order (10 of which I ordered) and that I could expect them no earlier than mid-January.

Update: Received an email this morning from Michael at S&W customer service. He indicated he "had no idea" when I could expect the magazines we ordered 2 months ago!

PS: This email was in response to mine, sent 2 days before Christmas, requesting an update.

I placed order on Dec 28 for a few mags. I knew things were crazy, but thought since it didnt mention then being out of stock I was safe ordering direct from S&W. After a few days I noticed they havent charged my credit card yet so I email. I get a generic response saying all magazines are out of stock and on backorder with no ETA. Called and waited forever to talk to rep only to find out he had no clue when the order would be fulfilled.

I ordered some magazines from them and they have charged my credit card but I dont know if they are on the way or not. I was hoping to get a e-mail or something to let me know

Are you sure that "charge" is not just a "Temporary Authorization"? Also, don't expect an email, according to them, they don't do that they just "pack it and ship it out".

It has completely been taken out because its not in the pending transaction like it was a day or so

I had a "Temporary Authorization" from them for like 3-4 days and then pooofff.. gone. Called them, and they said they still had my order allocated to me to ship but like everyone else no ETA. That is when he said they do that to check funds availability. I got the funds, now I just need the product

Well I guess im in the same boat then

Good friend of mine ordered 3 of them a bit more then 2 weeks ago.
Websight showed them in stock. Smith charged his CC, not a pending.
They took the money.
Heard nothing from them since. He finally calls them couple of days ago, wondering where his mags were?
Customer service tells him, "sorry about that"
"No we dont have any", they did refund his money on his card.
****** way to do business.

I guess I will be calling them. Thanks for the info

I ordered on monday 2 10 rounders, I had to call the next morning to check to see if they actually had them.. The dude said they had the 10 rounders and thats it, and he had to release my order. Hopefully they come in! He said it should be about a week.. After I talked to him I had a charge on my CC

Rumors around that Smith is waiting to see what happens with a hi-cap ban. They don't want to manufacture thousands of an item and have it turned to scrap by an Executive Order.

I also have some on order. I will just wait, won't even waste time with a phone call.

That is grim news ... you'd think they'd build them 24/7 for all of us that own a 15-22 and want to get some before they are banned.

I just got off the phone with Smith and they said my magazines were shipped out today. They said I ordered them before they were out of stock. They also told me that they had brown ones in stock

If anyone is not willing to wait for them and will pay $10 more a mag go with botach. Yeah, the customer service stories are a nightmare, but this is very straight forward. Ordered on the 8th, tracking info sent, hits my doorstep the 11th. Limit of 3 at $29.99 each. Do a stock check before you order today. Fill out the form on the site, do not try to call, just will be wasting time.

I have a confession....

2 weeks ago, when guys were calling and getting mixed answers on the availability of 25 round mags, FDE especially, I also called. But when I called I was told "they had a bunch" to which I responded "how many" to which he said "how many do you want" to which I blurted out "10" (and I only wanted 5 really) to which he said "ok" to which I said "ok, lets do it".

And today, despite also being told they do not send out email confirmations... I got one that my 10 FDE 25 round mags had shipped.

I orignally didn't say anything here - despite people saying they had none - as I didn't want to add to the confusing voices with a different answer that had come out of S&W until I was 100% sure - now I am sure. But, now that I have an email confirm - one I should not have gotten so they claim - my 10 FDE are in bound!

And my friends thought I was crazy when I first purchased my M&P 15-22 a year ago I bought 10 25rd mags right off

I ordered 2 10-25 long mags on the 6th and the rep I talked to today said they should ship in a day or two. Are all of the problems. With just the 25 rounders?

I have mag's on order. Could the government band them and force us to turn them over to our local government of face prosecution? Are we waiting our money on these high capacity mag's? Just concerned.

Yes. Do you want my address?
I will dispose of those nasty things before you get in trouble.

Hum...I was looking for an intelligent response!

I just ordered 2 from s&w they were not listed as out of stock.

I called them, they have nothing. With things the way they are right now I wouldn't advise anyone to order anything from anyone without calling to verify availability.

25rds? Shortys and 10's are in stock.

25 round mags

**** it is a 10 round which I just read can be modified
http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/w...layErrorView_N

Yep, it's very easy.

I ordered 5 of the 25 round mags 3 weeks ago. They arrived yesterday but I received the long 10 rounders. Will be calling them tomorrow and sending them back.

Sounds about right for S&W lately. I doubt you'll see your 25s anytime soon, if ever. You can either easily modify them or sell them for a profit on gunbroker/ebay.

Why? It takes less than two minutes to convert one to 25 rounds.

I ordered 25 round magazines and that is what they should have shipped. Not interested in modifying them.

I hope so, ordered some last week and got a confirmation email but nothing about shipping. Did all that before I found this place.

I ordered (4) 25rd mags from S&W on 12/26 and still nothing other than the original email that they received the order. But atleast my card wasn't charged yet.

I still don't have much faith in them, but they claim they have them. You should probably look for others just in case.

Got thru to S&W CS this morning. I was told that the website has not been updated this last week. All 10 rounders currently are backordered. They told me that the long 10 rounders I ordered around the 1st are shipping. I will have to wait on the short 10 rounders.

Asked about how long before the 25 rounders would ship. CS said it was out of there control due to vendors that build the mags.

What a surprise, different information.

Ordered 5 10 longs and 2 10 shorts today.

Just looked at gunbroker and they are getting between $50 and $120 for a single 25 round mag for the 15-22. CRAZY!!!

You ain't seen nothing yet.

My 10/25's ordered on the 6th shipped today

My 10 FDE 25 rounders landed at my families house in Texas today

That's great!

I called twice to check the status of my order for 2 ten rounders that I placed on 1/5. I spoke with two different people, three days apart. They both said the order would ship out the next day. Either I'm getting 4 ten round magazines, or they're full of BS.

Option 2.
