I picked up my M&P45 today. I bought it from a dealer,NIB. When I picked it up, the barrel and recoil assembly were out of the gun.
I had to assemble it.
Also, how long has S&W been shipping the new grey coated mag? My .45 came with one blued mag and the floor plate is a slightly different color(FDE) Ser.# range is MPY29xx.
Both my MP9 and MP9c were assembled, the MP9c was bought out of a dealerās case but the MP9 was special ordered for me. This is the first I have heard about this. Sure it wasnāt done by your dealer?
Since the gun was test fired before it left the factory, itās hard to imagine the gun arrived in a disassembled condition. I got to see the process myself just a little over a week ago:
(M&P on conveyor belt moving from test fire chamber to final packaging)
Iām glad to read the ānewā grey mags are shipping.
They should be the best yet.
I did a little checkingā¦called the shop I got it from etc. Iām pretty sure that the gun shop commando at my local FFL dissasembled it and the boss came in before he could put it back together.
Anymore factory pics Todd, or is that a no no?
Iām putting something formal together and hope to have it online by the end of Nov. I took literally hundreds of photos while I was there, but by agreement I cannot publish or post any photos without a review by my POC at S&W.
I wish I had āgreyā mags. I received my two freebie blue mags a long time ago. 1 month after first using them, they were literally covered in pitting and rust. :mad:
