I bought mine at the Fort Worth gun show from S.A.W. probably close to a year ago, for $599.00 with Trijicon night sights installed. Their price on their website for the 4" model without night sights is $553.35. Mine has the 4.5" barrel, but they don't show one on their website right now.
MSRP is $885.00 on the S&W website for one identical to mine.

Merci bien. I saw MSRP but wondered about street price. I may pick up one if we get some work soon.

Thanks for all the replies. Just as I hoped, great info!!
I bought a used one, came with 4 mags, and both back straps and case.
Here are a couple of pics (just learned how to do that).
Took it out Friday to shoot, going to take awhile to get used to it.
Now any ideas on holster?

Well, the first pictures I posted on page 1 show a Kirkpatrick Leather OWB holster called the "Under Cover." I also own a Minotaur MTAC from Comp-Tac for IWB carry that works quite well. This pistol actually conceals quite well for being a large framed pistol. I also use the smallest of the three backstraps. I have big palms but fairly short fingers.
I have a Galco
Concealable Belt Holster for my 5" 1911 that I like a lot, and I would say that it is probably a little more comfortable than the Kirkpatrick holster by virtue of the design. I've considered getting one for my M&P.
Congratulations by the way on the purchase. Enjoy it. How much was it in used condition?

I paid $475 at a local pawn shop, ( I buy from them semi-regularly) with Trijicon night sights already installed and 4 magazines, two back straps, the old sights, open chamber indicator and case.
Think I did pretty well.
thanks!!
