A friend of mine has patrol duty this afternoon, so his son has gone to pick up the gun. Hopefully I'll get to look at it before I go to work at eleven, and we're talking about inaugurating it tomorrow or Sunday.

He wants to get a 9mm version without the infernal lock later on, but this one is a stock .40 caliber. Cost is $537 from the friendly neighborhood Smith & Wesson store on the coast.

I'll give a range report if possible on Monday.

Hi Leland,

The S&W M&P has been talked about quite a bit since the pre-distributing marketing campaign has gotten on its way.

The price point sounds a lot lower than what I imagined.

It will be very interesting to see how it fairs in the hands of someone in the "real world" (read non-gun writers).

Thanks,

Chris
