Question about 5" barrel M&P models?

[mm6mm6]

S&W M&P experts! Do I have this correct?

When it comes to 5" barrel M&P 9mm handguns, there is the:

9L - Same as a standard M&P, but with a 5" barrel

9Pro - 5" barrel, Novak sights (red fiber optic front, glare reduced rear), better trigger (not a hand honed Performance Center trigger, but still lighter than the standard M&P)

9Pro C.O.R.E. - 5" barrel, High 3-dot sights, Slide cut for electronic red dot mount, different textured grip inserts, better trigger

There's also a 4 1/4" 9Pro C.O.R.E. which I'm pretty sure is the only "Pro Series" with the standard length barrel.

Do I have this all correct, or am I missing something? If I am, please let me know with a reply!

There are the 4.25" Pros in both 9 & 40. Haven't seen a 9L in a long time guessing it's out of production. Got a few 40Ls' w/night sights in a little over a year ago, guessing they were overruns for a LE contract. The 5" Pros' I've had did come with the green insert in the front, easily changed.

Rare,but I have still seen a few around. Don't know if they dropped out of production all together for sure. I think people went with the FS for carry and figured the Pro wasn't all that much more than the 9L and went with the Pro. The 9L and Pro do shoot almost the same once broken in. After a few thousand rounds it's "almost" hard to tell.

You missed the 4.25" Pro with night sights
