No earplugs in either of the range kits I received. I did get the 40 range kit for myself. Havn't shot the 40 yet, but will the next time we go to the range. As soon as I get a chance I'll post pics of my daughter's targets from her first time shooting her 9. As I said before, she loves shooting her 9 and now wants to try my 40.....lol.
Oh okay I was wondering what was up with that, I wasn't that worried about it. I've shot about 200-250 rounds out of my 9 so far. I love it! My aim is getting better each time I go and shoot. I haven't had a chance to go to a range and really test how I shoot as I've been shooting with a buddy in his backyard at two liters, milk jugs, veggie cans, and soda cans. Basically anything I can shoot at! I may put another 150 rounds through her today so I'll let it you know how it goes if I decide to go.
Funny story... this is my first gun purchase... I thought my take down lever was broke or damaged at first! my first couple field strips, when I was putting the slide back onto the frame I never had to hold the takedown lever forward... but after some shooting it would move and I was unable to get the slide back on as easy... I was freaking out! after some frantic searching on youtube I noticed people holding it forward and I felt better. I was thinking I was going to have to send it back!

I just ordered the M&P40 kit from the local gun shop. I hope he is able to find one for me. I called Gander Mt and they don't have any in any of their stores. I called Sheels and they aren't gonna carry them. My local GS said he would call when one comes in. I'll check back next week. He quoted me $500 so I put $100 down on the order and figured that was a fair price.

Wow. 3 months? took mine 1 week to get back to me, LOL
This is my M&P 9mm I got from the store last week.
I got sick the weekend I was going to take it out. So went today Fired 300 rounds in it I love this thing. I am maybe getting another one in a 40. This isn't a carry gun for me but after shooting it. I am going to go look at the compact one and see how it feels compared to my Glocks

Yeah I went out today and shot a little over 100 rounds. I LOVE THIS gun! I would recommend this range kit to any first time gun buyers! It's perfect! This visit was the official range visit as the others were just me shooting in a backyard. I'm going to start another thread with the range report.I love how the mag loader cuts down range time big time! I feel bad seeing those poor guys doing it by hand! Nothing against those guys that do! I can load them by hand I just prefer to do it faster!
You got a nice looking gun there Brent!

Check out Budsgunshop.com... If your LGS can't get it. I had actually tried to get it from two different locations and they couldn't get it (they still haven't called me to tell me they could get it!) 500 is a good price mine was 507 plus a transfer fee... You can get around that transfer fee if you get it locally! It's a pretty good deal for all you get... I had one LGS tell me that they could sell me the gun plus night sights and 2 extra mags for around 575... I wanted the box and the mag loader and the ear plugs... I got the kit minus the ear plugs.

Nice looking gun Brent, any pics of it out of the holster, I havn't seen one in that color yet. I prefer the black color, but you still have a cool looking pistol and you got earplugs...lol. Here are some pics of the 9 and my 40. The 9 is on the left and top.

And here are some pics of the targets from my daughter's first time shooting the 9 or anything bigger than a 22LR. First pic is her first two targets. All 3 mags used on each target, 51 rounds at 25 feet per target. The one on the left is her first target, you can see how she gets progressivly better and the last pic she called her last 3 rounds were to be head shots. I think she did great!!!

Holster is right hand only, mag pouch is ambidextrous.

I can't find these kits in stock ANYWHERE!! Does anyone know where I can find a 9mm R/C Kit? I've checked every online dealer I could find, the big box stores, and the locals. I've come up with nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

One LGS said about a month ago that they could get one for about $550. No other LGS I contacted could even find them. I ended up buying the basic kit and adding an Uplula separately. I still spent less than the quote for the kit, although I don't have the extra mag.

Yep, I have both the 9mm and .40 on my wish list waiting for an email when they come in. I also signed up for a few other e-mail waiting lists on other sites.
I called S&W because we still can't get one. S&W only sent out a limited number and more won't be available till sometime in March....Bud's is sold out too! My LGS will provide one when Smith makes more available to the market.

Ok, since Friday AM I've watched the .40 cal kit go in and out of stock at Bud's at least a half dozen times. The 9mm is still showing out of stock. My LGS suggested that it was likely Blade-Tech that was causing the slowdown with the holsters and/or mag pouches. Correct me if I'm wrong though, aren't the external dimensions of the .40 and the 9mm identical? I thought it was just a different barrel? Do I need to sacrifice a unicorn to get the damn 9mm kit!??!
