M&P40..Why is this one so cheap?

[NYMetsFan86 9]

So i see M&P40's going for 380ish sometimes, give or take 20 bux. What makes this one so cheap? Why does it look like the whole slide was repainted? anybody have any guesses?

thats what i figured. ive seen them drop to 299 on that sight before

[dwamp2006 1]

they get a lot of LEO trade ins, my guess is that's what it is.

[tj462nj 32]

^^^^^^^^agreed

[NYMetsFan86 9]

cool. maybe they will have some other deals on LE trad-ins in the future. 6.6lb seems clunky for a striker dao and id rather wait until i fire one in person before commiting

The triggers do suck on all of them IMO. They do make an apex upgrade that helps it but then your talking more $$ anyway.

I had to do a double take on that. Obvs you meant 1.6lb

"TRIGGER PULL: 6.5LBS"

6.5 is not a lot. Shoot it enough and it's no big deal.

[NYMetsFan86 9]

ill probably be hitting that Buds deal for the sp2022 with night sights instead

Fire stuff 1st before you buy... go rent them or something to make sure you like it

That's funny. I was thinking weight, which is 24.25oz or 1.5+lb

Fwiw I really like the trigger on my shield

 

this signature exceeds the 15 character count capacity

you may wanna rethink that! I had an sp2022. doesnt even come close to comparing to the m&p. I hated the sig. sold it after like 2 months. went bang everytime but would never hit the same place twice. plus the polymer grip is thin and feels cheap. Im by no means saying m&p is the best gun out but i like my m&p wayyyyy better than the 2022

[NYMetsFan86 9]

Thank you for the input

I have both and like both. Sig took a little getting used to but I warmed up to it and wouldn't get rid of it. Only complaint with the M&P is the trigger.

have you tried a 10-15 yard group with the 2022? that is my main complaint with it. i shot someone elses after i sold mine and it wouldnt group tight either. the poly grip is wayyy to thin for my liking. their customer service was horrible as well. I tried several different kinds of ammo and several different people shot it with the same results. Im curious how yours is? 

 

You are 100% correct! my only complaint with the m&p is the trigger as well! Trigger pretty much sucks!

[Targetpractice 3]

oh and i forgot to mention how easily the thin poly frame scuffs

[NYMetsFan86 9]

not to worry. I ended up ordering my rock island tactical 1911 first.

where did you get it from?

[NYMetsFan86 9]

quazi -story hah pmed you

[Clintoon Eastwood 2]

trigger on M&P i can live with, I cant stand the trigger safety on the glock. it just bothers me(thats my opinion)

 

as for the rock island, i love em

[svt3183 14]

I haven't had any accuracy problems with the sig but I will also admit I am not the most accurate shooter to begin with. I needed a couple range trips to get used to the Sig's trigger pull.
