Thinking of going for the M&P? Does s&w give you a good discount like glock does? Anyone else made the switch?
Had an M&P, liked it but liked the Glocks I'm used to better. Also I'd check the LASO thing.
my agency has transitioned to the M&P 40. good pistol.
yes, check into the LASO thing and concentrate on why LASO refused to allow S&W to inspect the pistols AT the department armory, and why the pistol that had the bulged barrel had been allowed to have the "chamber polished" by the home gunsmith deputy.
