M&P 40 (edited)

[ilease]

Hello, new to this forum. I just purchased a used Smith & Wesson and I am trying to find out anything I can about the handgun. I have asked the manufacturer what model I have and what the serial number shows but haven't heard anything. SO, I am hoping
someone in the forum can help me. The only information on the slide is M&P40 so I guess that is the model? The serial number is MPW2149 and I'm hoping someone can tell me anything about my newly acquired handgun. I was told it is a used Police gun.

Thanks in advance
Steve

An M&P 40! I thought you meant this one, the MP 38/40:

Seriously, welcome the Forum!

Welcome to the forum.

If your pistol looks like this one it's an early production example.

Note the beavertail, the word STAINLESS on the slide, and although there is no thumb safety the frame is drilled for one and plugged ( unless yours has a thumb safety)
