New M&P pistols models?

[shawn mccarver]

I just saw these new SKU numbers on a distributor's web site. I have no information beyond what you see. Note the new pattern 5 digit SKU numbers, apparently first seen on the no thumb safety version of the Shield pistols, and the new feature code "CF." Dealer price is $22.00 higher than existing versions. Here they are:

S&W M&P9C 10123 9M 3.5 CF 12R
S&W M&P40C 10124 40S 3.5 CF 10R
S&W M&P9 10121 9MM 4.25 CF 17R
S&W M&P40 10122 40S 4.25 CF 15R

Note also these new models/descriptions, likely for the suppressor crowd (and, no, I have no idea if the capacity is correct on the .45):
S&W M&P9 150922 9MM 4.25 2 BRL SET 17R
S&W M&P45 150923 45 4.25 2BRLSET 15R

The 150922 and 150923 appear on the Lipsey's site as have both threaded and non-threaded barrels.

SMITH AND WESSON M&P9 THREADED BARREL KIT 9MM - SM150922 - 150922 - UPC:022188144796 - Lipseys.com

SMITH AND WESSON M&P45 THREADED BARREL KIT 45 ACP - SM150923 - 150923 - UPC:022188144802 - Lipseys.com

As many know, S&W announced it will not seek renewal of M&Ps (other than the CA approved Shield) on CA's roster. Perhaps these sku's reflect that? In any case the suppressed models are verboten.

A bunch of vendors on the web have the SKUs and general info typed in, with no pictures or explanations.

The Lipsey's page lists the finish on SKU 10121 (the M&P9) as "Carbon Fiber."

Walther made a P22 (marketed by S&W) that had a carbon fiber finish. Could that be what this new model of M&P9 is? (Not sure I need that, but hey, everyone has different tastes).
