Just a reminder to check your SKU against the list.  

Pistols only.  $50 or $75.  

And I just told myself I don't need the 2.0 OR Compact

Nothing there I need or particularly want.

The metal 2.0 comp is calling my name.

Purchased a Full-size 45 Auto from Grab a Gun yesterday, with Tax, Shipping and FFL fee I will end up having like $460 in a new one after a recieve the rebate.

Hard to beat that!

Cabelas has .30SC Shield EZ for $249.99-$50 rebate $199.99 for something my wife can shoot and manage...think I'll jump.  Plus I buy discount gift cards for Cabela's off raise when I'm waiting to checkout and saves me usually another 10-12%.

If you decide ammo is too expensive or too hard to get then a 9MM Shield (1.0 or 2.0) will fit right on that .30 SC frame and work like a charm once you also get some magazines.



One thing about the rebates.  I did mine electronically.  I attached pictures of the paperwork, the serial number on the pistol frame and the label on the box.  Two days later I got an e-mail telling me my rebate had been refused because no documentation with the price was supplied and the seller was not identified. I took some more pictures of the invoice and then edited the pictures to circle all the requested/required info and sent it back in.  Haven't heard another "NO" yet so I'm hopeful.  Good idea to highlight the info on the paperwork so they can pick up on it.

Basically an M&P auto rebate list.  Nothing I would buy.  They’re decent guns but I don’t need or want one of those.  A revolver or a model 41 rebate might get me looking.

M&P 2.0 is the most underrated polymer pistol on the market by a long shot IMO.

100%. The new ones with the PC trigger IMO are the best striker guns on the market today. I went into a gun store a few weeks back totally intent on buying a VP9,  and ended up seeing the new version and handling a few. I decided to sleep on it since I liked it more than the VP9, went back the next day to buy and just so happened it was the day the promo started. I’ve been to the range with it a few times and it’s absolutely money. Went to another store this morning with the intent to buy a 3.6 compact and walked out with one of the metal frame spec series with the comp and bunch of extra instead.

I’ve been selling off my Glocks since I bought the first one, just have no desire to own them anymore.

FWIW I had an early M&P9 VTAC edition years ago and liked everything about it except that shitty hinged trigger. I never could shoot it well. I put a full apex kit in it and it changed it entirely but I just don’t trust aftermarket triggers in carry guns so I sold it and had zero interest in another M&P until I stumbled upon these new ones.

This is all my opinion but:
- I don’t think there’s a polymer gun on the planet with as perfect a grip texture
- ergos are a strong 9/10
- 2.0 accuracy is amazing with the updated lockup, etc.
- aesthetically fantastic looking guns
- new flat triggers are really good, with potential to be among the absolute best with Apex or Overwatch kit.
- they’re absolutely bomb proof as far as durability and reliability

Does anybody know if there is a limit on these rebates? From looking at the rebate fine print you can get as many guns as you want.

I cannot fault them at all.  It also fits my hand better than a lot of hand guns.

They are very underrated.  I do recommend people try them when they’re asking about a first full caliber pistol.

I think I just screwed myself regarding this rebate.  Primary Arms has the M&P 2.0 Metal FDE in stock with 12% off, total comes to $704.  With the $75 rebate that's basically $630 for the gun.  Well, I just read the fine print and saw that I have to have the gun transferred from my FFL before August 18th to be eligible for the rebate.  Primary Arms says up to 5 business days to ship it, plus 2 days shipping, so I'm screwed.

I'll use post 1000 for this.  Want a screaming deal? S&W is discontinuing the Performance Center CORE 5 inch with the ported barrel.  It can be found now for $601 as of a couple of weeks ago.   Apex trigger,  Dawson Precision magwell, and +6 TF basepads in mine now.  Super soft and accurate shooter with this setup.  Picture from before changes.

From the time of rebate submission to $75 card received in the mail was 10 days.

And of course, my SKU isn't on the list! (13990)  Oh well, no biggie!

8 days here, I almost threw it away thinking it was junk.

Received my rebate in approx a week.

I am in near total agreement with this. Except my first M&P was a police trade in 1.0 I picked up a couple years ago with everything original including the hinged trigger. It shoots lights out accurate. My first 2.0 I found used and had an Apex kit in it. Hated that trigger and put on OEM back in it.

My Glocks are slowly going away.

Come on S&W, let's get new rebates because I need another M&P2.0 like a hole in the head
