Saw this deal online and thought I'd share it. $279.99 with free shipping is a heck of a deal for these!

Dang! Now I gotta fight the urge to click that link and buy one. I have a m&P 40c and a .45 shield, a full size would be a great addition. Wasn't planning on spending any more money this weekend.

I may have to find another forum to hang out in and find some new friends...you people give too much peer pressure and are enablers. Lol

That's a lot of quality for the money. Especially if someone were just starting out, that's a very affordable way to have a carry gun and an identical training/practice gun.

I don't need this. I don't need this.

I did that with the Glock 22. How was I supposed to know there'd be more 40's on sale?

I bought the Glocks months ago. I'm going to be happy that the mags are dirt cheap. Don't you dare post sub, $10 mags

I hate myself. My wife says get it. But I just don't have a need for it. The money would be better spent elsewhere. I want it but......

Ye great enabler.....will you have the post-purchase smoothing things over for another unsanctioned purchase conversation with the wife as well?

It's a smoking deal if you want a striker fired .40 and/or you already have support gear for the M&P. The logistics keeps me from branching out too much. New holsters, magazines, etc. If I stick with Glock and Sig, I already have all my support gear.

I don't like you.

And you can get the M&P OEM S&W .357 Sig barrel for this and swap it out and have a .357 Sig.
The magazines are marked for both.

I have two and they're great!

I wish they were in 9mm or 45 acp at that price. I don't want to support another caliber. I had the M&P 45 and would buy one again for the right price. Only sold mine in order to buy something else shiny that caught my eye.

9mm for $30 more. Note gen 1 9mm sometimes had horrid accuracy issues.

Horrid accuracy issues from bad barrels, or sight issues?

IIRC, Randy Lee of Apex said it was dwell time and lock up that hampered accuracy. He had a factory example that, due to tolerance stacking, shot 24" groups at 50y.

Accuracy is coming: Apex M&P Barrels - Page 2 has a lot Randy explaining the mechanics of it.

Well that doesn't sound good. But I would think that any that were police trade-ins wouldn't have that issue, or would have had it corrected. Maybe? Assuming that's not why they were traded in that is!

Roll of the dice. Some shoot well, most shoot acceptably but not as good as their competitors, a few are horrible. If the worst were culled out or not, who can say? Like you said, that might be why they were traded.
