I had better luck with mine. Spring promotion had to have been HUGE! Two mags and $50 off was a real hook for me. I liked it when I got it, and love it after a break-in and a trip to Dan Burwell.
I purchased my M&P looking forward to getting used to it prior to our State IDPA match. Chronology as follows:
On 2/13/08, I purchased an M&P 9 and sent in my Spring Spectacular rebate & magazine offer.
On 3/11, I ordered 2 additional mags and a hat. Mags were backordered.
On 4/9, I received 2 magazines
On 4/11, I received my $50 rebate check from S&W.
On 4/18, I received my other 2 mags.
State match on 4/26. Priceless.
5/4, shipped to Burwell Gunsmithing.
5/23 got her back w/ 3.5 lb pull and tac sights. Giggidy, giggidy!
