Popularity and demand are going up for this pistol and so is the price. The price/value is appreciating for the M&P pistol...good for current owners/sellers but bad for current buyers.
Prices seem to start at a low $399 (its what paid and others in the Buckeye state) before taxes and cost may go up depending on your market. $499 sounds a little on the high end.

Got my MP40 a few weeks ago right at the S&W store. I live about 3 miles from the factory in Springfield, MA. I paid $499 NIB, 2 mags, etc.... In my area, this is a pretty good price. Many gun shops are getting $530+.
Go to BudsGunshop.com You will find a good deal there, I payed $399 plus tax....Total $428 to my Dealer........GunBroker.com has some deals every so often, as well as Gunsamerica.com.......Might try MP-Pistol.com too heard they have some good deals......LOL
