$570-$575 is pretty much the going rate around here.
I never had a problem finding them.I had a 9c for about a year - loved it - but ditched it because I couldn't find spare magazines (still can't, and yes, I check often just out of curiosity).
If you can find 'em, get 'em.
I bought a 2013 M&P9 last year and the trigger was terrible. Much grittier and heavier compared to my M&P9c I bought back in 2010. I'd say they went downhill. My 13 M&P is the first pistol I ever owned I felt the need to put after market trigger parts in.The 2013 M&P's are the best yet. Magazines are finally becoming well stocked, both full size, compact and Shield in 9mm. The last thing S&W needs to get fixed is stocking of spare parts. I heard they switched inventory system so that may be part of issue. That and Obama. But from what I can tell S&W has constantly made improvements on all the above and have great warranty too. I think FreeState has them at 525.
Really? I didn't know the LGS's are typically that much more expensive that online retailers.
Sportsman's and Bud's have it for $440.
