M&P PRODUCT NUMBER QUESTIONS

[SPEEDGUNNER]

What is the significance of the product numbers? What is the difference between 209600 and 309600?
Do the M&P series have an internal lock? External lock? Will they fire with the mag removed?

You would have to go to the S&W website to find all the numbers. I can tell you that 109xxx series are 10rd mags where the 209xxx are hi-caps. The 309xxx are LE models that come with 3 mags, and the xxx600 are night sights. There are IL, night sights(LE only now) and mag disconnect model variations. The 209600/309600 are full size M&P40 with night sights, mag safety and no IL, three mags with the 309.

There are many options in ordering your M&P read the options carefully on the S&W web site and select the product code that designates your preferred options.

Lat time I looked there was something like 49 different Product Codes for M&P pistol models.

If you have a fast connection, or some time on your hands, download the first part of the 2008 product guide and look at pages 19-22. Page 22 has all of the models listed. Naturally, I'd still call S&W and ask to confirm the product code and features of whatever model might interest you, since the specs can change and errors can always make it into a catalog.

For example, I found that one of the listed model variations indicated a "Y" in the Internal Lock System column, but it did NOT have an internal lock ... only thumb safeties. Go figure ...
