mdschappell Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I was excited to hear about the M&P Pro series .40 cal, that is until the gun was released. Why not a 5" M&P .40 ? Is Smith and Wesson missing the boat by not building a .40 cal to match the very successful 9mm ? Anyone on this forum heard anything about a 5" version in the pipeline ?

mdschappell Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hmmmm........ Smith and Wesson acts fast....... I just checked their web site and low and behold a 5" M&P .40 Pro series in the line up. Never mind !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumpy McSoo Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Just out of curiosity, will there also be a 40 L series as well not just the 40 Pro. Why am I curious? Well, they have the 9 L and 9 Pro, so why not ask? Later, Lumpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took longer for either gun to be production legal because they were considered two different models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just popped into my head....the whole 9L/Pro thing was probably related to IPSC rules more than anything else. The 9 Pro isn't legal for Production, but the 9L is. I doubt anybody was going to pick a .40 for IPSC Production under the old rules, but with the mag capacity rules now that could change. That said, I doubt they'd sell many .40Ls to people who are planning on shooting primarily IPSC. R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBore56 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 There is one listed on GunBroker if you want to see a couple of pictures. The PRO SERIES engraving looks pretty cool. Price is $599, and you can get it NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nik Habicht Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 That said, I doubt they'd sell many .40Ls to people who are planning on shooting primarily IPSC. R, Unless those folks live in N.J., where the .40 caliber M&Ps are popular because of the 15 round capacity limit..... Still, on the grand scale of guns sold, I'm with Bart....

GISMap Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 The frame on the factory photo isn't even drilled for a lock... are the 9s lock free as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millisec Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 The frame on the factory photo isn't even drilled for a lock... are the 9s lock free as well? No my 9 pro has the dummy lock like the picture of the pro 40 full size. I hope they keep it simple with the lock and mag safety options. I had one of the first full size M&P 9's I got from Buds (I think they were $350 then) w/o any of that crap. I remember the first match I shot with it... A bunch of people had gotten them from the local shops, in NC, and I had the only one with no mag safety and everyone else was fumbling around with an empty mag trying to clear and holster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
