Thinking of getting a M&P .45, really dig the 9 pro I have, prices came down, just to find I can’t find any.
I mean, gunbroker, one page, all calibers listed. Vendors, all (most models) out of stock… WTF? Did I not get the memo? 
I finally got my wife’s M&P9 JG the other day after searching for months. I searched every gun shop, web site, everyone told me they were out. I finally found it on gun broker, after checking constantly. Seems like everything I want is like that these days.
Grant’s probably got one or two or a few

Plenty of them around here. S&W Retail Store has a showcase full of them, course most will be Ma compliant. My local gun stores seem to have them in stock as well.
I thought that S&W got a big LEO contract in one of the western european nations. Belgium?
Finding them is one thing
Getting raped on the price is another…
I haven’t seen any rape pricing, most pricing is fair that I’ve seen.
S&W is so backordered it isn’t even funny.
I had to order my first M&P and play the waiting game. My second one I just happened to walk in the only place that had a .40c model and bought it. They are very popular with enthusiast and professionals. I don’t see a lot of people selling their used ones either. They are wonderful pistols.
Where are you located? One of my local places usually has about two dozen or so in stock. I’ve bought two from them (on different occasions) for $499 each.
I was told by my local dealer that S&W is heavily back ordered at the moment, and they don’t expect any new shipments for about five months. They are not a low volume dealer either and they are having trouble getting them (M&P’s).
A couple of months ago I ordered up a full size FDE M&P 45 with night sights from them and it was in stock and at the shop the next day. After I decided to convert to the M&P platform, I went on the hunt for a 45 compact to serve as my off duty gun only to discover that nobody had one. I was finally able to track one down (black, no thumb safety standard sights) and picked it up yesterday. They are out there, you just have to shop around and be a bit patient. I was very fortunate to find my compact as fast as I did and I know the current inventory is shrinking and will continue to do so until Smith can catch up on their back orders.
Happy hunting.
M&P’s are being sucked up by HUGE (tens of thousands) contract with Belgium and Australia.

We do have two M&P 45’s in stock. Drop me a line and let me know which model you are intersted in.

I got my 45 mid frame from their retail store, they had quite a few “non-mass compliant” m&p’s there to choose from.
They also offer military, fire, and police discount of 10%
I traded my very gently used M&P 45 for a HK45c about a month ago…My dealer still has the M&P listed on his gunbroker site. Jensen Arms in Loveland, CO. I suppose you probably saw it in your search.
When I have some time, I’m going to list the remaining mags on the marketplace here.
Any updates? I can’t find an M&P9 L anywhere? Checked Grant’s site and he is cleaned out of all M&P9s. I wouldn’t mind another 4.25 M&P9 If I can’t a 5", but I would like to avoid having to use Gunbroker.
I’m in Dallas and looked at a few stores for the exact same two pistols with no luck. SAW and Ray’s both had plenty of .40’s but none in 9mm (unless you want the pink or VTAC models).
Anyway, I shot G&R an e-mail asking to buy one. He told me that he’d notify me when something came in stock. I got lucky and within a few days a 9mm FS came in and I was able to order it off his website (with APEX goodies installed for a very fair price & no sales tax). I think the timing was a coincidence, but it worked great for me. UPS says it will be here on Monday!
M&P’s are starting to appear more and more, but it is still hard to get them.
Last time I checked, I had $70K in back orders with S&W. :mad:
Get on our e-mail notification list (as one could show up tomorrow and people on the list ALWAYS get head of the line privileges.

Smith and Wesson Retail Store should have what you want in stock.
They had some Pro’s and plenty of the other model for out of staters and for Ma compliant…
Thanks for the info. By the way I love Rays. My grandfather shopped there for years, classic style gun shop.
