M&P R8

[shumster]

I am an LEO in CA and on a SWAT Team. I have been searching for one of these guns. I'd like to buy one but can't find one anywhere. There were 2 on Gunbroker but they were gone before I could get them. Any tips on where to find one? I'd like to use it for it's intended purpose, while carrying a ballistic shield. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Might try widening the options to include the TRR8 as well? Same basic thing except the bottom rail is detachable like the top rail.
Have seen way more TRR8s, lately, than M&P R8s.

I just saw one posted on calguns on the private firearms sales site.

Saw that one too. Really want an R8 but I sent him a message. Might have to settle. Thanks.

i also have a TRR8 I may be interested in selling. Please PM me if interested.

Can't help you find one as it's been on my list for quite some time now. If you do get an R8 please post pics! Some people think they are ugly but I think it could be one of the better fighting 357s

While they may be big and ugly they shoot sooooooo good.

Thanks for the info. I think I might have found one. I'll keep you posted.

 

[shumster]

Should be getting pics tomorrow can't wait to get it.

 

[shumster]

Here it is. Should be shipping next week.

Ahhh, the R8 is an EBR... Evil Black Revolver! Doesn't it use "high capacity clips" too? Lol.

 

[shumster]

Got it!!

Apparently, LEOs in California must be paid significantly more than elsewhere if you want to buy one for your use on your SWAT team! Thus, as far as help being appreciated, I will be happy to help you spend some of your California LEO salary!
