Dial down the poverty, bro. I'm having a hard time hearing you.and the first ones sucked compared to today. with an iphone your not tied in with ATF BS though. Im not upgrading my maxim 9 every year like I do phones.
Seriously, though, you do make a point. And honestly, I kind of liked the M&P backend as opposed to whatever it was that they showed at SHOT...but I guess they couldn't exactly buy a messload of M&P's and then hack them all up. I'm sure it's cheaper to make it themselves.
And speaking of cheaper...anybody seen an MSRP on it yet? I'm guessing 1800ish.
