Apologies if this has been posted. S&W emailed out this advertisement for its new 5 in barrel metal M&P. Interesting. I am actually surprised its lighter than the 4.25 model, with "lightening cuts." Interesting. Still think a steel version without "lightening cuts" would be better to compete in USPSA/IDPA CO and Production classes.
