Hello to everyone, Trying to figure out what I have here M&P 40L?

[Tocoldice]

I just bought a M&P 40 L which i did not know existed, it is not in the S&W catalog. I seen that there is a M&P PRO but my gun came from the factory with Trijicon night sights and came with 3 15 round mags and does not say pro but it has a 5 inch barrel as well. I even called S&W they said they make short runs but have no parts lists or anything on the gun and they cant tell me how many were made. I really just wanted to know if there is anyway I could find out if it was made for a police department or something. Any one that might know something I would appreciate it!

Don't take any chances pack it up and send it to me right away. LOL

It is a Leo version, If it was for a spicific department it would have a logo laser engraved infront of the rear sight.

LOL I better not send it to you yet I am kind of in love with it LOL
There are no other markings on it, the serial #DVRXXXX I guess I may never know what it really is. And here is another kicker it was cheaper then the 40 Pro and mine came with 3 mags instead of 2 and the night sights!!! So i aint complaining..

It is the same handgun as the 5 inch M&P Pro 40, without the performance sear and fiber optic sights. I saw the 40L advertised on Gallery of Guns, but never saw one available. Then it disappeared. Order the same parts as the 40 M&P Pro. It may be that they exist only as a LEO version. Have fun shooting it. I sure do with my Pro 40.

Are there any numbers on the front sight? Like .180" or something like that.

My neighbor bought a M&P9 with a 5" barrel. It is not the Pro either. He paid approx. $100 less for his gun than I did for my M&P40 pro series. His problem was that he liked my trigger action better than his & went out and spent $150 on a trigger job. (He doesn't like to do his own smithing). BUT I have found out that the high vis sights that came on my gun are terrible at the in-door range we use since no light is directed towards the firing line. It's all down range. I guess I'll be spending $100 on sights like the ones he got on his gun (& your gun in the you-tube video you made). It's always something. It's like marrying that beautiful cheerleader only to find out she hates sex.

No they are just normal Trijicon sights. I have kind of gave up wondering what it is because i went out and shot it and LOVED it,, and thats the most important thing!! Thanks
