sperman Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The best answer I can give is that when the production schedule is set there are many factors that determine what and how many of a particular model are built. Keep in mind that the M&P line has many SKU's in just 9mm alone and that the Pro & 9L aren't just for the competition market. Then add all the other calibers, sizes, safeties, etc to that along with the many firearms the company manufactures... determining what gets made and when is not something I would want to have to figure out. Thanks, Julie Hey Julie, Any new word on the 9L? Any chance it will be legal by Area 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-ManBart Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Ordered my M&P Pro today....already have 8 spare mags on the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Ordered my M&P Pro today....already have 8 spare mags on the way I fear that once the Pro made the list, no one is buying the 9L. It's beginning to look like I will be shooting limited minor at Area 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgunz11 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Scott, your welcome to use my 9Pro at Area 6 if you like. It has the Dawson adjustable front and rear and an Accurate Iron trigger job. It needs some breaking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs some breaking in. Thanks for the offer. My gunsmith is supposed to have my 6" STI done this week also, but I'm not sure I will be comfortable with a new gun and just a few weeks of practice. I'll have to make some sort of decision in the next couple of weeks. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gb32 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I'm in the same boat you are. If it's not legal for the match I'm just gonna shoot my STI in LTD. Either that or shoot the wife's standard M&P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99gski Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hi everyone, We are getting closer and are over 1500 units. I don't have access to production information though so I don't know what the schedule is to build more. As soon as I learn more, I will let you know. If I can be of further assistance, please let me know. All the best, Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what I wanted to hear either, but they could do 500 in three weeks if it is time to do them. I am pretty sure they do them in runs. So while the numbers aren't there today they could be next week if it is time to do a run of 9Ls. I guess I will just have to shoot my M&P9Open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarter Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 I guess I'll have to borrow a Pro from someone or use my standard M&P. Not really what I wanted to hear but at least we know where we stand. Thanks again Julie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-ManBart Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Just last night I noticed that the M&P 9L is approved for IPSC Production, but the Pro is specifically not allowed. Just thought that was kinda funny.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought that was kinda funny.... Where did you see that? On ipsc.org under the rules section. As I understand it, the Glock 34/35 is also not approved because it's a gamer gun designed for competition with the longer slide and the 3.5lb trigger (now called 4lb) rather than the stock 5.5lb trigger. They seem to be against competition versions of normal carry guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought that was kinda funny.... It's my understanding that the minimum trigger pull rule makes the pro illegal for IPSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leozinho Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Is it still too early to start wondering if a .22 conversion is in the works? If S&W isn't interested then maybe an independent company is? I'm looking to pick up another production gun. Due to the price of ammo, the availability of a .22 conversion is something I'm factoring into the decision-making process. (I'll probably ask the same question about the GP6 on another thread, too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
