What is the difference between an M&P 9 Pro and an M&P 9? I don't find the suffix pro in the m&P catalog. Thank you!-Rick

I probably would have bought a M&P Compact .45 today, but the absence of a rebate made me shrug it off.
I'm with you Erich.....a rebate will be the deal maker for me. I also looked the Springfield XDM. They started out at 699.00 now they are on gunbroker for 535.00. One of the gunmakers will blink and put a rebate into play....hurry up smith-wesson, don't let springfield jump the gun on you with an earlier rebate program

I'd be willing to bet that the days of the S&W rebates are long gone...

In this economy? Well, we'll see old S&W riding off into the sunset behind the rebates, then . . . I got money: dance for it!
Bought my sigma at the Reno gun show....sent for the clips in the first week or so of D
ecember. No luck so far. Gun sales are going well at my local shop. My barber saw a little dip but back to normal. My favorite Mexican resturant is always packed. Cabelas seemed pretty packed several weeks ago. The state is broke. Back to the subject. With the new group in Washington I'm not sure if gun manafactures are hurting.

Companies that offer rebate after rebate every month start a vicious cycle.
If they pull the plug on the rebates...I suspect that they (S&W) might feel a bit of pain for a bit while consumers "wean off" of the rebate fixation.
If I was in the market, I'd wait until another rebate was offered- I'm with Erich.
Either that, or they need to go down on prices- 5-8% increase over last year isn't much to sneeze at!
Perhaps they will hold prices where they are, and rebate the distributors on the backside, who in turn will pass it on to the dealers...who knows!
Kinda like playing Russian roulette.

Answer: If you want the gun and are "jumping at the bit" as we say up here- buy it!!!

I know gun manufacturers have rebates. But do local gun stores ever offer an 'in store' rebate for a gun purchase?

Never seen one called that - but . . . wouldn't that just be a discount?

Perhaps they could have an "economic incentive" for buyers of S&W products.

Yeah! That's it!
Just tell the EPA it's a combination carbon/lead capture device! Everyone on the Forum would have a brand new M&P before the GAO knew what the checks had gone for!
Hell! It's worked so far for the banks, hasn't it?

Yep, the local shops all dicker a little on price. that is your rebate. If they are hungry, they give you a little more "rebate" on the spot.
By the way, the M&P 45 compact is fantastic....

Over the next year, as you see more and more retailers tank, I predict there will be some enormous rebate deals.
The short term deterrent in the gun world is probably generated from the 'Obamanation' fears. That should peter out after a while.
When mfg's and dealers realize they did MANY MONTHS worth of business from October to January (dried up available spending), they COULD be killing each other to bring in business later in the year.
Of course an active attempt at more gun control will have people 'selling their kids' to raise money for more guns and ammo, and the demand will remain high.

My dept is switching over to all M&p 45 in the next month. We are also getting some great officer pricing for off duty guns too. There was mention of a rebate on top of it. Not sure when the rebate will be announced, or if it official. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
