I think that's actually the date they put the # on the frame, but essentially, yes.
Then it was stamped the day after I ordered it.

I got a 40cal core 3 weeks ago. That's the good news. The bad news is that I was so pleased with it at the range that I ordered a 9mm core from Buds a week ago. I am done buying guns! If you see me post anything about a new gun later, call me on it. I need some tough love.

I can't help you I just bought a 9mm Springfield RO yesterday. was afraid the month would end and I hadn't bought a gun. probably would get kicked out of the Gun of the Month Club. should I send you a membership form as you can't fight the urge to buy another gun. Don

I ordered online it from Buds Gunshop on January 6. And I received it today.
I'm anxious to go out and shoot it.
You are going to like that gun I shoot mine a lot.

I bought mine from my LGS which had it on consignment. Never fired. My wonky eyesight nearly demanded an RMR sight.
Last Monday (MLK Day), I went to the range and did a "Mozambique Drill" (two to the chest, one to the head) through a full 17 round magazine at 8 yards (24 feet).
I have the target now hanging on my office wall.

I did think about it. My main concern about ported guns is that they are noisier and they get dirtier than non-ported guns. And the 9mm doesn't have much recoil anyway.
If I were getting the .40 I might consider getting the ported version.

Last summer, I bought a used one in .40 S&W. I mounted a Burris Fast Fire III on it, and went to town. Fantastic accuracy, and the recoil, even on the .40 was not bad at all.
A few weeks later, I happened to read about converting the M&P 40's to 9mm with a Storm Lake conversion barrel. I ordered one for it, along with a couple of 9mm mags, and now I have twice the fun.
I also have a M&P 40 Compact, and ordered a Storm Lake conversion for it. It took the recoil down a notch, and it's actually fun to shoot at the range now.
The barrels are available on eBay, or from several different places like Midway U.S.A., etc.
The conversions are literal drop-ins with no fitting needed. The feed ramp on the conversions is the same size as the .40 S&W, and there's not enough "slop" to cause any feed problems. Both barrels have over 1K rounds now, with no failures of any kind.
Congratulations! Any more fun, and the vice squad would be visiting you!
