This one is black and doesn't have the ambi thumb safety. I felt really good in my hand, only a hair larger in the grip area than my 9mm. If you put the large palm swell on the 9mm you'll have the feel of the M&P 45 with the small grip insert.

The S&W rep said it will hit the street in March. We'll see about that. I'm going to get one.

Thanks Sam, thats a great photo.

I cannot wait to get my hands on one.

Ernest Langdon was going to do a live fire demo on Saturday, but all my other business was done and I left last night. We'll see if their promise of March arrival will come true.

i love my MP 9mm so I cant wait to get my hands on the .45

any idea as to pricing when they do arrive?

Im also highly intrigued by the FNP-45......wonder when those are coming out.....;)

[Sam]

The S&W rep said the 45 price will be approx. $40-50 more than the 9mm.

wow...thats not bad at all...maybe I can convince gotm4 and bernie at VA Arms to just bring one back for me!

[M4arc]

That is sweet!

Wow, that is impressive.

I assumed it would be $100-$200 more than the 9mm.

There's a couple of photos here including a pic of the OD model: http://mp-pistol.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=1847

One rep today said that they are "already in production". They are quite nice and a thumb safety model will be a must have (for me anyway.

I have an M&P 9mm on the way right now....

If I like it, the .45 version will be the next handgun I buy.

I hade a chance to play with the M&P 45 at SHOT. Its better in person! The LE rep told me that LE orders and requests for T&E pistols will start shipping in February.

The M&P .45 may very well be my next handgun purchase as well.

For those that have handled the M&P .45: Can you 'ride' the thumb safety ala the 1911?
