It seems many of you folks believe that the M&P15 Sport is not the "Real Deal". You don't think its a go to weapon. Well I direct you to the S&W info page on the M&P15 Sports, please note it is listed for Duty/Professional use.

The M&P15 MOE, does not have this designation. This is not a mistake. S&W know their guns. The M&P15 Sports does not have a FA and dust cover for one very simple reason... It does not need them, because it is reliable.

M&P15 Sports


M&P15 MOE

When you buy a car, do you insist on a crank handle? The M4 design has been around a for long time. I'm pleased to see it finally be reliable enough not to need these add-on band-aids.

No offense but that is like saying you believe Chevrolet when they say the Volt is a good choice or gets better efficiency than other, better designed vehicles of a similar type.

No knock on the Sport, just the use of a company web site for "proof" of suitability.

The LE designated Colts all have FA and dust covers and are the only weapons many Departments will buy. The Magpul versions are enhanced, non standard versions and therefore won't meet requirements for type of handguard etc.

Any AR is lethal in the hands of a "go to" guy, departmental specs. aside.

Please notice, the M&P15 Sport has a barrel made from 4140 Steel barrels.

Only S&W rifles with the 4140 steel barrels are listed as Professional/Duty use. The M&P15 MOE has a 4150 CMV barrel.
There are specific reasons for this. Do your research, S&W did theirs.

BTW: I'm talking guns not people. A paperclip is deadly in the right hands too
