Oh, Gander Mountain has them if you want to pay about twice what they are worth. I know of an online vendor that had some 2 weeks ago on the cheap. PM me if you like.
I just got an M&P with thumb safety. Its my understanding that the shortage is due to a very large oversea's order S&W got for them.
We have them in stock, and it's not the guns... The magazines are nearly impossible to find.
I can't find a pro when I have the money,
they don't sync up
Maybe I am in the minority but to me the M&P feels more like a metal gun wrapped in plastic than a Glock does. Another rumor I heard was that the M&P was in the running to replace the M9 for the US military.
