To wait or not for new M&P 9mm purchase?

[Env.drill]

I forgot to mention that I am going to my LGS tomorrow and see if they can get a M&P.40 any sooner than the 9. I really like the idea of getting a 9mm barrel for a .40; like having 2 guns in one. Does anyone know how many M&P's are made with thumb safety's vs. non safety's?
Thanks.

With what's going on right now,I'd grab what you can get before they are out of stock and you end up with nothing.

I don't see a reason to wait. Whatever shortage you are seeing locally could be cured any day. When that occurs, if you don't have you pistol, you may face a shortage of a pistol with a surplus of ammo. Buy what you can, when you can, when you can afford it.

I found my new FS 9mm at a local Bass Pro shop. They had just received a new shipment of guns the day before. There were only 2 M&P 9's in the whole shipment and I bought one. The other is still in the display case, which it won't be for long. Also found and bought the last 2 hi-cap mags at a LGS nearby. It was a great shopping day. Now, on to the search for 9mm ammo.

Buy it now I would. 9mm pistols are in short supply in my area. My brother in law looked high and low for a 9mm. And we just happened to find a 9c at a local shop. They had a few fortys but Only 1 9c and a full size m&p 9mm. He came home with the 9c. The same gun I got.

M&P 9

Well now, that was interesting..... I went to LGS today and shot a SR9 to see if I liked it. Then I shot the M&P 9 again and wow, what a difference. The M&P not only fit better in my hand, but it had less recoil and much easier to stay on target. I told them that I would just wait for my M&P that is on order. Hopefully, not a month, though.
