| Anyone know where to find one? I've looked everywhere. I read somewhere that they were discontinued, but didn't believe this due to the fact it is still listed on the S&W website. |

They're kinda in short supply for now. S&W is really getting hit with large orders for M&P pistols by a lot of LE agencies right now, mainly on the standard full-size pistols - so, that's what they're primarily making, and not the more varied models like the long slide guns. Getting simple parts like a striker or trigger bar is hard right now too. All the parts in the part bins are going into guns. That's what happens when you're a firearms company making a pistol that's taking off in popularity - especially with law enforcement. I'm expecting my agency to start taking a hard look at the M&P40 to replace my current gun.
Sooner or later they will be back in production, but odds are it will be a while. I was also on a hunt for a M&P9 Pro, and my local shop called three different distributors and was told at least 90 days out. He did however have a M&P40L on the shelf that followed me home... |

All the Pros I've seen are horrendously overpriced, but then again, I don't want to get the Pro as I will be replacing everything that makes it the Pro model. |

Good luck in your hunt. I absolutely love mine. I had Customized Creationz work up a cerakote finish and I have one of their R&D sears. You will understand why people love these things so much once you have one. I already gave up and bought a VTAC model. Should be here Thursday or Friday. After a few trips to the range, I might upgrade the parts with an APEX DCAEK, depending whether I feel it needs it or not. |

I was curious of how long it would take someone to notice. |
