M&P9 safety or not?

[Gatorade]

When I worked retail there were some times we could no go below a specific price because the discount was already to cost or so close to cost we really weren't making money. Sometimes you do those deals to help cash flow when things are slow or there is a check at corporate that needs to be covered. But our rule was we could never go below what we paid for the item. Big sorts like Walmart and others discount below cost when something has been in in inventory too long. Smaller businesses can't discount like that even for a customer service issue like a typo. In my opinion if they were fighting so hard over what seems like a small amount it is probably because they simply couldn't do it. I had customers that had gotten a a substantial discount try to get delivery thrown in at the end, sometimes I had to tell them i couldn't do it because the price was already too low for any furred discounting even if I lost the deal.

So long story to say call back and get the deal!

All that being said if you think they are acting shady then by all means walk away. Have they changed the listing where you found it? If it really was a typo they should have it corrected quickly. If it is bait and switch it may still be active. Also it may have already sold and they don't have any more.

One last thing but keep in mind what we talked about with the .40. You can swap the .40 barrel with the 9mm and switch the mag and you have both calibers. So if there is a better deal on the .40 keep that in mind. If finding 9mm mags is an issue for you I have a full size one I can loan out.

My wallet has a meeting scheduled with my principles today to discuss

Get it and while you're at it, order one for me

To hitch hike on Gatorade's post about 9mm mag availability, as of late there has been no drought to the mag shortage of years gone by. Especially the 17 round mags for you people that live in free states.

Fairly priced as well.

Hmmm ... perhaps I was right to walk away. These comments do not inspire confidence. The wallet and principles came to terms but my gut overruled after considering purchasing a Pro but seeing the comments. Maybe there's more to the crazy low prices than meets the eye. I did try and contact the company to verify but ran into their hopelessly poor communication.

With $435 seeming to be the best price for a base M&P9 from a reputable vendor, the Glock 19 is looking better for $100 more. PSA has a deal right now on a Gen 4 with a range case a factory 33 round mag thrown in.

Any thoughts?

Get the M&P and don't look back. Forget what Slickguns said about them.

If they're good enough for Jerry Miculek and plenty of others, they're good enough for me.

They feel much better in your hand than a Glock also!

If this ups the ante any, here you go...2 free mags with any M&P purchase now through Dec. 3rd.

I have to agree with the chimp on this. Altho the is a good purchase, I believe the M&P will serve you just as well or better.

The Slickguns comments had nothing to do with the product, rather it was the shady seller.

All I'm saying is if a G19 is within $100 of a M&P9, it would be hard to pass on the Glock.

Oh, so you're buying used then?

I bought one gun used on the internet, but I had Cotep'er that lived near the guy check it out first. If not, no way jose to buying a used gun, especially a polymer gun off the internet without a visual inspection first.
