I'm hearing September. No idea when in September, but I do know that they have quite a few paid special orders to fulfill before any guns start shipping to distributors.

Thanks anyone know about extended threaded barrels??

 

[Grimwulff]

Is there any idea about how much the release MSRP for these will be?

 

[choochboost]

Their website says $695, not that anyone will be paying that.

But want the fde frame

Yea, that is substantially higher then what we should see from actual dealers. Thanks.

Yeah, they are barrels that are longer and have threads on the end of them!! DOH!

 

[svlwolf]

Uhh hope you are kidding, i wanted to know if anyone knew if S&W was coming out with one of them there barrels that is longer and threaded

Contact their custom shop. For a price, you can get just about anything.

You guys all could've had M&P45's months ago in FDE if you just bought black one's and had them custom colored. Would've looked better too - at least from what the "FDE" is looking like in S&W's photo's.

As one source wrote to a friend: "Don't let the prototypes fool you.'



Smith is being quiet as to exactly what the issue is, but my understanding is that the goal of the DBE framed M&P is to meet or exceed every military spec and environment demand in the regular production gun and the variation will NOT be made available until that goal is reached.



(No, I'm not sure exactly what that means in terms of a difference between the black and DEB.)



From what I've heard, the goal has now been met and it's a matter of scheduling and feeding production schedules in a VERY busy plant.

latest info from a S&W insider via a friend of mine:



"we really are close...within days of introducing the DEB 45. We found an improvement that will make both the DEB and black frame even stronger."

Keep an eye on Bass Pro Shops.....was in there this past weekend and saw that one of the 2 M&P45's in the case was listed as a Dark Earth model although it was black. Salesperson says they're expecting them soon. Oh, price was the same as the standard black...$650. Much more than I'd pay, but for those who just have to have it.......

$650 is what Gander Mt. wants for them.. way more than the local shops.

would 525 + shipping, been a good price for the 45? I have no idea what the going price is? That looks sweet.

 

[Steelshooter]

I hope its just not a good picture and is actually a darker green.

 

[wahoo95]

no, that's about right in terms of what I've seen.....closer to a brownish color.

They have started shipping. Saw one of the special order pieces a friend ordered months ago just last night.
