I imagine many of you have seen the M&P 40 trade-ins available from Bud’s for $349 shipped. I jumped on this last weekend and finally got to pick the gun up today. Let me start off by saying that I am pleasantly surprised. The condition is excellent. The only external wear on the gun is some very light holster wear on some of the high points on the front of the slide and a little bit of wear discoloration on the top of the slide between the breech and rear sight – I assume this is where the holster rubbed the most.
The gun came with the factory box, 3 mags, and night sights. The night sights are a bit dim but still visible in the dark. Not a big deal, I’m sure I’ll put some HD’s on it soon enough. The magazines are all in excellent condition. They were a little dirty inside, but I disassembled them and cleaned them out and they’re perfect. 2 of the base plates have a few scuffs on them but again, this is a non-issue. They all seem to function just fine.
I have nothing to complain about with the gun. I think it was a great deal and recommend everyone check it out. The final thing I would note is that these(at least mine) have the magazine disconnect lever. Now, this is a 5 minute process to remove and extremely easy, but what’s cool is that it means the gun doesn’t have the typical “CAUTION: CAPABLE OF FIRING WITH MAGAZINE REMOVED!” billboard across the slide. It doesn’t really bother me, but I consider it a bonus that it’s not there. Already ordered the Apex kit for it. A pretty good deal if you ask me.
