I also heard they are discontinued and it is a shame. I own an sd9 and it's a real nice handgun. What I think is they are priced too low for what it's costing them to build the gun, plus it comes with front night sight. I think their profit margin is too low and the gun costs to much to build as compaired with Sigma. It has everything that the M&P has except for the back strap changes. I like it better than the M&P.
