If you have not seen S&W is having a great deal on M&P and Sigmas, 2 free mags and they added $50 1 Nov-31 Jan 08. https://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs ... onId=10002 I'll be picking up my M&P40 soon!!
Kinda what I was thinking. I am sure a few newbies would buy them based on the S&W name and their price point. Personally, I would buy a used.....well, anything first.
I just bought my M&P 9mm last weekend. I contacted S&W today and they are allowing a 7 day grace period on the 50.00 rebate offer. I thought that was pretty good customer service.
At one time I had vowed to never own a S&W, but earlier this year I traded a G17 for a S&W M&P40 and haven't looked back. I had had my heart set on a Steyr since their HQ is up here in Cumming and I knew Jack Riddle from waaay back (doubt he remembers the kid who used to hang out in his gunstore though). Unfortunately, just as I was this >.< close to closing the deal, there was the 'difficulties' with Steyr vs US Gov't and I didn't want to get stuck with something that wasn't going to have spare parts.
