Kingman Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I have no clue, but based on that picture I want one if it is not priced at too much of a rediculous level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshowbob Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) I spoke with a S&W rep last week. He claims that it will be released January or February, possibly at the Shot Show. Moreover, he said it would be a Performance Center product. I think it will be expensive. I really want one.

trevoro Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Wow! That is nice. How expensive could it be? I bet you can get two of them for the price of one used Edge. I want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eerw Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 I am hoping this comes out in the Pro Series and not the Performance center..since it is rollmarked that way. the price then might be reasonable.. "The Smith & Wesson Pro Series are the next step up from the production line while still remaining true to "Stock". Bringing competition specifications and features to factory models, the Pro Series offer that ready-to-go package while still maintaining production line integrity."

SA Friday Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I spoke with a S&W rep last week. He claims that it will be released January or February, possibly at the Shot Show. Moreover, he said it would be a Custom Shop product. I think it will be expensive.I really want one. If it comes out of the custom shop, would it qualify for Production Division? Hmmmmm, I don't think so. That would be a pretty big blunder on S&W's part considering the talent they have gone out and recruited to shoot in their name. I hope this isn't so, and it's mass produced and released at a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope the price is reasonable..the 5906 cost a bunch and was hard to get.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarter Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I have been saving my "spare" change for a while now. I hope I have enough and I hope I can get one sometime in this century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWT USMA Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I can see that there is a Fiber front sight. But does any one know what other bells S&W Pro Center attached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Gundry Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I'd love to wait for one if the price was right (i.e. <$600 street price), but now they've got a $50 rebate and 2 free mag deal going 'til the end of the year... I finally handled one with the large backstrap - I may be putting some cash down soon... So much for my single-stack plans/ideas.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I would say this will easily be in the 700-800 price range based on what I am looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRodriguez Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) isn't a production gun supposed to be released to the public for a year before it is legal in production division? S&W should have released it in june or july of this year to be legal for the 2008 natonals. you would think that the shooting team they have would have pointed this out to them. went back and read the production criteria. guess all they need to do is sell 2000 to the public.

dirtypool40 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) I can see that there is a Fiber front sight. But does any one know what other bells S&W Pro Center attached? Yeah.... the ugliest rear site they could find. What is up with that? Other blunders might include (as mentioned earlier) failing to make it IPSC as well as USPSA production legal.

Shay1911 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 eerw, Do you think this one would fit on a normal M&P? http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/...leitemid=721189 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcap Magician Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I definitely hope this comes out. I'd even be willing to hang up the 34 to try this one out. Given the response Smith & Wesson has had to the market so far, I don't think they'll let this one fall out of USPSA/IDPA specs. I'd put a 10-8 Performance rear sight on it over that nasty Novak.

Dave Gundry Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 AFAIK, no that sight will not work. Unfortunately, the M&P has it's own 'Novak' cut. http://mp-pistol.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=667 see post #2 by Dan Burwell I haven't found any adjustable rear sights yet...

I hope this isn't so, and it's mass produced and released at a reasonable price. I hope its a Pro Series and not too much $$$; the M&Ps my friends shoot are great guns. But even if its "PC" or "Pro Shop" custom, they will still shoot it in production; its an old pet peeve of mine that S&W would build special custom "Production Division" versions of their PC 5906 - available to order for ONLY certain people; in Production, you could get yours with a 4" barrel & slide, or a 5" or a 6". You could get both front and rear serrations on the PC versions. They were custom built & had a lot of special parts (for the select few at a high price) - but because they had the "5906" on the frame (preceded by "PC") they were somehow allowed. I don't think the PC versions of that gun should have been allowed. In any event, that seems to be the past (maybe it was something S&W came up with under the old owners). With the new M&P, they have no need for special guns in order to compete with the other offerings in Production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarter Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Everyone seems to be worried about it being Production legal. I have been thinking about getting one of these in 40 for limited div. It shouldn't be long before you'll see a magwell for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVC247 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 In regards to the picture, I first saw it about six months ago. That's a prototype at the last SHOT show, and according to the S&W rep at the Tulsa Nationals, the production version won't look exactly like that. He said it will not be a performance center product, which is not what other people are hearing--I guess we'll have to see. I love the looks of the M&P and really want a longslide, but unless they put in an extended mag release I'm going to have to stick to my G34, as I have to really flip the M&P around to reach the mag button.
