Well, so much for the new SD's from S&W

[ridgeman06]

While I am endlessly awaiting my class a permit,(seven weeks and counting), I had been looking into the SD series from S&W along with the M&P's. I called the shooting center today and they informed me that the SD's will not be sellable in MA due to their 8 lb trigger pull. But of course it's ok to buy a 10 lb. M&P and immediatley modify it down to 5 or 6 lbs. or whatever you want, I guess.
These MA laws are completely rediculous. It's too bad that it has to be this way.
So based on MA stupidity and ignorance, why can't I buy the 8 lb. SD and modify it up to ten lb. and then modify it again down to 5 or 6? At the end of the day, I have what I want and either way, it works out to the same end result.
What a bunch of idiots we have in power.

Welcome to Mass . Join GOAL. If you're patient you can find a used M&P in the classifieds for ~$400. Take the money you save and buy the APEX parts.

They're doing you a favor by not allowing you to buy that gun.

The only upshot to the SDs is they take preban sigma mags. I have no idea whether or not the trigger is still as s**ty as the sigmas, though.

That wasn't the answer I found when I looked in to it when they were first announced. Do you know this for sure?

When I saw the title to this thread, I thought S&W was dumping the SD's from their line... I was like, "Well, that was quick."

10 lb pull makes us stronger gun owners.

Someone on NES stated that the mags were compatible, it's just that the basepad was different. I also just found similar info on other websites. I guess I would look for someone that has actually tested them in their SD....

There's already been like 2 or 3 that went in and out of the classifieds.

The people at the SSC usually don't know anything about pending approvals - I expect to see the SD models approved on the EOPS roster within the next year.

'Course, I'll be out of here in less than that time.
