Rumor has it that BUD's wont ship it to California.
If true, that really bites.

Just out of curiosity, I looked at your CA DOJ list of guns approved for sale in CA.

Looks like they list only the 4.25" M&P .40 S&W as "safe" in CA.

Jeeze, I hope they still have a couple left when I get my funds together.

I went to Bud's today and picked up their last 40L. Put about 120rds through it already. Shoots great.
Yes, it turned out to be even less than the 9L that my neighbor bought from the same shop a month earlier. Now it seems to be harder to find the 5" M&Ps. Glad I got mine when the supply was greater. I wasn't sure that this gun was going to perform as well as my Glocks, but so far it has been 100% reliable & is extremely accurate. Let's just say that it can more than keep up with my abilities.

After putting around 500rds through the 40L. I have to admit. I'm not a hug fan of the trijicon sights that came on it. The front sight seems to skinny for the gap on the rear sight. Anybody else noticed this? Thanks -Wade-
Not at all. In fact all 3 of my M&P's measure about the same; .130"W front / .135" W rear.
40L w/stock night sights
9FS w/Tijicon night sights (same as S&W)
45C w/stock white dot
I find the sizing to be fine and I am a former bullseye shooter who setup my sights very tight.

Really curious to see if they get inventory again. Never was clear whether this was 'overstock' from a LE order or they were getting their own orders filled from S&W or a distributor.
Either way I love mine.
The LEO models have a product code starting with a 3. These do not.

I bought my M&P 40L from Bud's on Saturday 8/31. By the time I got to the range that afternoon, I only had 12 minutes left to shoot it. 
The next Tuesday, I dropped in the Apex Comp AEK trigger, RAM & extractor and replaced the front night sight with F/O. Chrono'd some loads that afternoon and loaded 400 rounds that evening and headed for the Idaho IDPA match on Thursday.
The gun ran flawlessly. I only wish I could shoot as well as it does.

Just measured my 40L and my front sight is .010" smaller than the rear sight. Stock sights on my glock measured= front sight .015" Larger than rear sight.
I really think the front sight should be wider on my M&P.
