Agencies that issue M&P

[boingboing]

So I'm curious as to what police agencies issue the M&P. I heard the NM State Police switched to them from glock and the MA State Police switched from sig. Anyone else know?

My brother's department in NJ just changed over last year to M&P, he says he knows of several other local departments that are also changing over. His went from 4513TSW (and a few 4566) to M&P45 midsize.

This a thread started a few months back dealing with the same subject.

Wish I could get one of those agencies to issue an M&P to me...they all said that you have to work for them first! Can you believe THAT??

My academy class was the last to carry Beretta 92G we now carry M&P in 40S&W (Dekalb County Ga Police Dept), I know Atlanta PD were issued M&P 40s before we were.

Detroit police department use the m&p 40-im in ems and i own the 9mm so naturally i asked when i seen a officer at work-recognized the handle a mile away

Nice to know many pd's are using them as I am about to purchase one in 9mm. It tells me that they are very dependable guns.

From my Cop friends. S&W is GIVING NEW M&Ps to the departments & buying their Glocks. Want to get your product out into the hands of the PD with limited budgets? GIVE them new guns.

This is how, in the 1960s that Nikon saturated the newspaper press photographer industry. Gave away the cameras and made money on lenses and upgrades down the road.

This is also how Glock got the market cornered for so many years. If true, S&W is just copying Glock's own program. Nice to see something made in America give him a taste of his own medicine.

NH State Police switched right after they came out, I think the first State Police dept. to do so.

I don't care if Smith did what Glock did to get the business. if the gun is not reliable, they would have switched back to their reliable ones, no?

I love my 40fs and can't wait to shoot the new 45fs i just got. All i know is the M&P line has made me a believer, a stock holder and an M&P addict...2 firearms, 1 on the way for August, and selling golf clubs & RC Helicopters so i can get more!

At least one of the North Carolina departments did comparative testing with the Glock and the M&P. Main test was continuous firing, one mag after the other. The M&P sustained no damage from the heat that was generated. However the plastic rod on the Glock began to melt down.

Now, I can't imagine a fire fight where either gun would be so subjected, but the test was run and M&P won. The department chose M&P.
