How about those "free" magazines?
Anyone received theirs lately?
I bought my M&P 40 in early June and still no magazines.
I called the company that the rebate went to and they told me they only handle the checks and the magazines come direct from S&W.
If you got them how long did you have to wait? Is three months reasonable?

Give S&W customer service a call. My experience is that the time it takes depends on the caliber because of different production schedules.

It's reasonable. You should get yours any time now.

I've been waiting for 9mm and .45 mags since April. I received the rebate checks about 2 months ago. I have confidence we'll all get them. Eventually...

Thanks for the responses.
Wow, you would think a company the size of S&W would not be this far behind on a product like this, but maybe they outsource it to Afganistan or something. LOL

Magazines are in fact outsourced, but not to Afghanistan.

Got mine after a long wait. Customer service told me that the demand was over whelming and that as soon as they get new mags from the supplier they are gone again. S&W must have sold thousands of pistols under the promotion.

Edit below because my mistake; gun mentioned in my comment below is the Sigma .40, not the M&P.
I got my 2 free mags and $50 rebate early this year. Total cost for gun w/ 4 mags = $250 (including $10 shipping and $20 dealer charge). Loaded with Federal 180 grain HSTs and I have a bargain concealed carry setup as good as anything out there at any price as far as reliability and effectiveness is concerned. I forgot to add the $10 for an Uncle Mike's nylon "in the pants" holster and $3 for a leather knife sheath that holds a spare mag perfectly.

I waited about 3 months for my 2 mags and $50. After about 2 months, I sent them an email asking them if they received my paper work. I received an email back saying they did, and gave me my process number. About a month later they both arrived.
Mags for M&P's are impossible to get right now. Who ever is making these things needs to up the production.
I love the gun. M&P40c

I've been waiting for my 9mm mags since April. I called S&W about 3 weeks ago and the guy I spoke with told me that they have approximately 95,000 mags on backorder.

There is no doubt you'll get your mags, but the M&P 40 is probably the hardest. With all the LE orders for them, and those get three mags, they are well behind on them. I've had two customers that took 6 months to receive theirs, while several that got compacts were right at eight weeks.

I received my M&P45 mags after a long wait. But to be honest I would rather wait an extra few weeks than get to mags that were made to fast and not upto quality standards. (does anyone remember the Ford Pinto and Chevy Vega)

Is this promotion just for standard M&P pistols or is this Shield included too?
Could someone post a link to the promotion?
