How popular are Smith and Wesson M&P's in your neck of the woods?

[Greg Bell]

Guys,

I notice that the Smith and Wesson M&P's are very popular on certain net forums. Around middle Georgia, you rarely see them.My local gun shops report little interest. However, around here people are nearly zombie-like in their attachment to Glocks, so I can see the gun shops pushing Glocks in that price range.

Anyway, are they popular where you are? I am not asking if they are good or bad (I think they are fine), just if they are selling in decent numbers.

I seem to see a fair number around and in gun shop counters.

They're certainly more prevalent here than they were back in Glocksville Knoxville.

 

[Sturmgewehre]

I see more on the dealers shelves around here than in the hands of shooters.

 

[Smaug]

Very popular here.

Still not on par with Glock, but they've all but replaced the old Stigmas. I'm seeing more of them than XDs and XDms put together.

 

[Greg Bell]

Tamara,

I wonder if, the further you get away from Smyrna, the thinner the concentration of Glock Kool-Aid in the water?


Smaug,

Around here the XDs are behind the Glocks--but they have dropped off considerably in the last few years.

I always see them in the gun store but I don't know anyone who owns one.

David,

Same here. Eagle had one for months, and when he finally sold it he refused to restock. I know Smith had a nice promotion with free mags that seemed to drum up interest.

I live in PA.
I was in my local gunstore the other day, and the only other guy in the store was ordering an M&P9C because the one that the store had in stock sold the day before.
I think the more people shoot them, the more they will buy. They are pretty nice guns and don't seem to be priced too bad, either.

Not a glock, though....
(sips his kool aid and says...dam that's good)

Hopefully not in an Innsmouth sort of way, heh? Sorry I couldn't resist, it's so rare I find fellow Lovecraft-ophiles.......at least I'm assuming from your signature that you are.

I don't know anyone personally who owns one, but Sportsman's Warehouse can never keep them in stock. I MAY own one Friday...still trying to decide.

 

[jakeswensonmt]

I almost never see M&P's.
See a lot of glocks.

 

[sserdlihc]

In S.C. you see alot of Glocks. I am seeing a surge of XDs'. No P99s' or XDMs'
I have seen a few M&Ps around. But not many,

 

[Shadi Khalil]

They are everywhere in NoVa, you can even rent them at the place I shoot.

 

[Bailey4765]

The metro crowd likes them, they are the latest thing, looking to push the Glock off the throne.

 

[golfnutrlv]

Most of the gun stores in my area have them. The range that I shoot at sells Glocks and Smiths as their primary product. Both lines are moving very well around here, with the display case getting a little thinner every time I go through.

 

[jdavis6576]

My local fun store sells quite a few. He doesn't stock as many M&Ps as he does Glocks; or maybe he's selling more and can't hold on to them, I'm not sure.

 

[Chui]

EXTREMELY popular in Southeastern Michigan. They are outselling Glocks. Especially the M&P9 - which I think is the best of the M&P models.

 

[Spenser]

They are all over the place up here. The majority of what I saw on dealer's tables at the gun show two weeks ago was M&P's of some variety. Gander Mountain seems to be full of them as well. They seem to be selling well. They are a bit cheaper than Glocks around here, which makes them a fairly affordable handgun.

 

[troy_mclure]

i ve been hitting the gun/pawn shops hard recently. ive seen a few dozen m&p's, quite a few glocks, a hand full of xd's and like 2 xdm's.

thats just what ive seen on the displays, i have no clue how well they are selling.

 

[Jermtheory]

I dont know many civy owners other than myself(outside of gun boards)...But i seen more and more LEO carrying them.
