There is a very interesting tread about this pistol under the M&P 15-22 rifle tab, but it seems to me one needs to here under M&P pistols. If one already exists please share it with me.
My interest is in trying to get a handle on how many of these were made. We know from the S&W introduction flier REV1109, that the launch date was set as April 2010. It was featured in a full page of the 2010 S&W catalog where it showed a MSRP of $585. By the 2011 catalog it was gone and never to reappear.
There have been several ideas floated in the thread referenced above as to why it was discontinued and many have asked how many were made. No solid answers have materialized. I thought it would be interesting to start up a serial number data base. Collecting serial numbers is not a solution to the problem, but it can show serial spread which may be useful to one or more of us who happen to be interested.
I have collected 5 serial numbers recently and invite readers of this thread to confidentially PM me with your 15-22P serial number and any you see or know of. No guess work or fuzzy recollections. So far two alpha prefixes exist in this infant data base. DULXXXX and DUMXXXX. The numeric spread is between high and low are 3220 in the DUL range and 3388 in the DUM range. (Expanded from original post thanks to new information provided by a member of this forum.) This means little other then a possible quantity ceiling subject to change with more input.
Note added Sept 6 2015: I now have 10 serial numbers in my mini data base and a new serial prefix, DUAXXXX has surfaced. The numeric spread in the (most common) DUL range is now 4703.
Thanks for reading and your consideration in helping me with this project.
