Smith and Wesson Guns 40% off for Military.
Smith and Wesson is offering 40% off for military members until the end of the month. A friend told me about the offer which I thought was too good to be true so I emailed S&W about it and their response is below. Looks to all check out. Everything you need to know is below. I have attched the order form as well.


"I’m sorry for the delay in responding to your email, I was stranded away from my office without my computer and could not return home due to the 24 inches of snow that fell in Washington DC.

Attached is the Military Active Duty and Retired VIP program form for you to complete. This offer applies to all active duty and retired service personnel for Smith & Wesson Firearms through the end of December 2009. The 40% discount is taken off our website retail price. One order per person and all orders must be post marked no later than 31 December 2009. You’ll be buying from Smith & Wesson not a dealer, however we will need a dealer with a valid FFL to ship the gun to so you can take legal custody of it. Please spend a few minutes coordinating with your local dealer to ensure they are willing to make the transfer for you, sometimes they may charge you a fee anywhere from $20.00 up to $100.00.

Please send the completed for to Smith & Wesson at 2100 Roosevelt Ave, Springfield MA, 01104 attention Military Programs or scan it and email it to me. A fax is also acceptable to the following number: (413) 731-8980, Attention – Military Programs.

Starting January 1, 2010 we’ll be offering a Nation wide M&P promotion to all active duty and retired service personnel. A $50.00 mail in rebate on any M&P revolver or a $50.00 mail in rebate or 2 free mags on any M&P Pistol or a $100.00 mail in rebate or 5 free mags on any M&P15 tactical rifle. Our website will have all the details soon.

David

The 40% off amounts to about 10% off dealer retail.

Normal dealer discount from Smith & Wesson's suggested retail is about 25 to 30%, in my experience.


Still a good deal for the military members.


More of a raw deal for gun shops.

Although I appreciate it, I find issue with this (not them specifically, the offers in general). Being a vet, I got out after 12 years. These types of discounts, although I appreciate them, I wish they would extend to those of us that served, but didnt retire from the military, for whatever reason. Most places will extend it, upon proving you were ex military-I just wish that they would include us in with these.

Back OT though, I REALLY wish I was picking up a new pistol this month I simply dont have the cash right now though-this is a great deal though. I hope folks have a chance to take advantage of this!
