I've been reading a lot on the M&P and after testing it against a G19, I've decided the M&P9 is more for me and I'm getting ready to buy one in the next week or so.
I've noticed people saying 'the triggers on newer M&Ps are much better' and talking about extractor problems (solid vs hollow roll pins).
How would one spot the manufacturing date on the gun? I've seen people ask others who have had problems to check the date it was made. Is this visible?
Only reason I ask is i don't see many M&Ps around here and the local shops fullsize 9mm has a lot of surface scratches. I could care less about the aesthetics of the scratches, but it just makes me wonder how long it has been chillin in the case.
thanks guys.

Rick , Dec 27, Len-2A Training , Dec 27, Thanks LenS. Oct 30, Messages: North of Boston. It has never been fired since I have owned it. It shows significant lookup and carry history but is in good shape. The problem is I have NO idea what I have. The serial numbers have no chiefs, it has a lanyard strap in the lookup butt and Trade Mark is on the right side. Not looking for ctg as it is sentimental.

FPrice is going to help explain. This is a quandry with what we found. The revolver: I have been pointed towards this disassembly which was on American Rifleman. The video is slightly less specific about the Victory Model but is interesting. When I find out more I will let you know.

If you can tell me the caliber make sure it is exactly what is printed on the barrel and the serial number, I'll bet I can make a pretty good ctg.
