Police Trade In, Never Fired?

[Born2vette]

Ran across this today And I know there are a few in here who collect police weapons. Seems like a reasonable deal to me but not my cup of tea/expertise.

Smith & Wesson M&p45 M2.0 Police Trade In (never Issued) - For Sale, Used - Excellent Condition :: Guns.com

**Unique Opportunity for a lightly used Police Trade-In. This item was never issued out to duty officers, however some of them were mildly used for training and qualification purposes.** Smith & Wesson was first founded in 1856 and by the 1900’s they had their craft down to an art. S&W...

Seems like a great deal. I know many collect or stamped guns like this

 

[rooster]

Does that have some type of New York trigger on it though?

 

[1775usmarine]

No thumb safety or mag disconnect and night sights plus 3 10rd mags. Wish I had the funds.

If memory serves me correctly, they had this same gun for under $400 around Xmas time. Doesn’t do any good now, but maybe should have bought one.

French police???

French police???

Massachusetts State Police. Is this the full size model and are 10 round mags standard?

 

[Mongo59]

Still, I would check them for drop marks...

Looks to be the full size (4.6” barrel, they had a 5” threaded barrel as well IIRC), and yes 10 rnd was standard in 45.

Yes weapons sometimes never get issued or shot. They buy xx amount in case there is a shooting and the officer's gun gets booked in as evidence. He needs a like replacement even if he is just surfing a desk.

Let us know if you get it and some pictures.

I was posting for others. My gun fund is currently too low.

That’s a pretty good deal. I picked an unissued police trade in P226 last fall. It’s cool to get these guns out and used

I have always had good luck with Police trade ins. Most have holster wear and scratched up grips, but they are far from worn out. A never issued one would be great.

The Massachusetts state police ordered these pistols within the last year. For some reason they refused shipment or decided to sell them before they were issued.

The MSP has decided to purchase Sigs instead I believe. No one really knows why this change was made. This is just speculation on my part, but I bet the state is angry that Smith is going to Tennessee.

Well I believe there is room in Gallatin for one more.

Need to read reviews on seller's site. Many of these are reported to be used and dirty. Another case of buyer beware.

I picked one up.
Crazy good deal, unlike everything else on guns.com
They are usually super high on prices.
The insignia is a neat addition.
I find it interesting that the Massachusetts state police don't have to comply with the laws they make their citizens follow.
It definitely does not have a 10lb trigger.
