I don't know who else has noticed, but prices on the full size M&P 9 have plummeted recently. They are all over the place for around $480, and yesterday one online seller even had them for $399.
This could simply be that Smith has an big overstock of them and needs to move them. I don't know if I buy that, though. The full sized M&P 9 and 40 pistols are pretty much their flagship models these days. Companies are not likely to cheapen their brand too much with big price cuts unless there's more too it.
With other popular products these days, particularly with things like cameras, mobile phones, TV's and other electronics, a big price drop usually means a newer model is coming out.
I'm wondering, could that be the case with the M&P's?
