I've set my sights on a M&P 45 "Mid size" pistol with 4" barrel (SKU 109307) -- no safety lever, no lock, no magazine safety -- and now I'm having trouble finding one!
The link from the S&S web page to Davidson's Gallery of Guns indicates they are out of stock!
Is there something going on with this model?
Can anyone recommend a good gun store that has these in stock and could ship to an FFL?
The 4" model has really not been out for long. Right now everybody is looking for an AR or a high cap 9mm. They are around, but you just have to keep hunting. Here is some good reading on them:
Thanks for the link, pepper. That was indeed good reading.
I picked up a M&P45c yesterday. 4" barrel but shorter gripframe (8 round mags). It fits my hand really well and I'll be taking it out to the range later today.
I have to agree that both the 4" mid-size and the compact are harder to find, for whatever reason. Heck, the compact isn't even listed on S&W's website.
S&W rover, I have the mid size 45 with no thumb safety and enjoy shooting it quite a bit. It is more compact feeling than the 4.5'' barrel and has the capacity of 10 rounds which is 2 more rounds than the compact. For me, it fills what I was looking for in a mid size full frame gun. I purchased mine from local dealer, Shooter's Choice, which there is a link to their location and phone number. I shot at the range Friday and they did have the same model as I have in stock for $564. Hope this helps, and ask for Eric if you call, and tell him I referred you to them(he will know me by Sonny). zorro49 http://local.yahoo.com/info-13385146-Shooters-Choice
I had all three sizes of the M&P 45. My favorite is the midsize, followed closely by the compact. Believe it or not, I found the midsize with 4 magazines, 2 holsters, and a Burwell trigger job for $400. And no, it wasn't hot. The guy was spooked by the lack of a safety on the gun. I thought he was going to make me sign a liability waiver <G>.
