Active, honorably discharged or retired military personal be it medically discharged or disabled qualify. If this is you then you should qualify. You’ll have to submit your credentials to buds. DD214/credentials to purchase. There a link in the listing you can click on that will give you all the info as to how to go about doing this.

yes you are a QP as a military veteran Many major manufacturers offer discounts to a large list of individuals they consider Qualified Professionals. Although commonly referred to as Law Enforcement, LE or Veterans Discounts, these discounts are actually also available to many other types of Qualified Professionals, including : Active, Honorably Discharged or Retired Military personnel - all branches (veterans, including medical discharges/disabled) What to Submit : A current and complete (front and back) copy of your official identification. If you cannot send official identification, we accept LES forms or department letterheads stating employment. Please also include your driver's license if you use one of these two methods. We are required to collect and file a copy of your qualifying credentials with your initial discount purchase. Your credentials will remain on file to approve future discount purchase requests. Manufacturers participating in these discounts reserve the right to audit our records to ensure only those professionals on their approved lists are receiving these discounts. If no expiration date is stated on your credentials, they will expire after 12 months. Veterans' credentials expire after 10 years. How to Submit your Credentials : Send us a scanned image of your qualifying credentials online (account login required). You will receive a confirmation of receipt. It takes 1-2 business days to process your credentials. https://www.budsgunshop.com/qualified

Phillip, unfortunately it is at Buds currently. I am of the opinion that if it is legal for me to own, I should be able to purchase it. Cheers and stay safe!

Why is this gun's sale restricted to QP's?

Hi Robert, there are some model firearms that manufacturers restrict to Qualified Professionals initially. Even though this includes most "Service Professionals" it is mainly for recognition for active/retired/veterans. Once that supply/demand plateaus they become available to the general public.

Feels great, a very solid gun. I've only put about 40 rounds through it, with 3 or 4 different brands of ammo. Only trouble I had was with Browning, with a few failures to fire, and one that jammed in the chamber. Had to disassemble gun to clear it, but no big deal. So far, it's not nearly as accurate as my Browning Buckmark. I'll reserve judgment on its accuracy until it's further broken in.

Well, I’d like to leave a positive review but, a week after getting this gun and several attempts to find ammo that would eject, I have sent the pistol back to S&W. Guess I may be able to leave a more positive review when, and if I get it back.
