Julie, I am one of the guys anxiously awaiting the news that the M&P Pro .40 (5") is on the approved Production gun list. I really prefer the M&P Pro 40 to the M&P Pro 9, or the XD Tactical or Glock options, but I need to buy something soon. I can't keep borrowing 1911s and mags the whole season. Even if I knew that the approval was imminent, but the timetable was unknown, that would be good enough for me to pull the trigger ( ) on the deal. I would greatly appreciate an update from S&W. Thank you. Also, very cool video on your website home page. I wish I knew the musical score.

I'm so glad that I found this forum, and particularly this topic. Great info. Thank you G-man Bart and others. I am brand new to shooting and have started shooting USPSA Single Stack with a borrowed 1911 .45 ACP, but of course want my own semi-auto handgun. I want a 5" barrel, I don't reload (yet), and have been most interested in the S&W M&P Pro Series, and the Springfield XD Tactical Series. First, is this correct: - 9mm. cheapest ammo. Perfect for Production Division. Can be used for Limited/Limited 10, but you are penalized more for misses as it is Minor Power Factor. - 40 S&W. slightly more than 9mm, but cheapest ammo for Major PF. Can be used in Production Div, and is Major PF for L/L10. Assuming the above is correct, I prefer .40 S&W because of the division flexibility. There's not a lot of action pistol shooters here, so I don't want to be stuck shooting in a meet with 2 shooters in my division. Here is the problem and question. The Springfield XD Tactical (5" barrel) is on the Production Division approved gun list in both the 9mm and 40 S&W. The Smith & Wesson M&P Pro (5") is approved for the 9mm, but the .40 S&W is NOT on the list. To add to my confusion, the M&P 40 in 3" and 4" are on the list. Does anyone have some insight here? Is there a legit reason for this omission? Is the list updated regularly?
