What's with the "qualified professionals only" deal? Qualified? Professional? Why?

Smith & Wesson (and other manufacturers) offer discounted pricing to those in law enforcement, corrections, EMS, etc. Dealers are not allowed to sell these products to civilians. The purchaser must provide credentials in order to purchase/receive the discount.

Randy, these are Manufacturer marked packages to be sold to First Responders at a discount. This is set by the maker and not the vendor. Details here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/qualified_professional_discounts.php

It is just a separately listed item for the qualified professional discount program, there is nothing restricted about the gun itself. It is otherwise the same as this one: https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/30991/smith+%26+wesson+m327trr8+8rd+357mag%2f38sp+%2bp+5%22+performace+center

I read this gun comes already cut for moon clips. Does that mean the moon clips MUST be used or can I use without moon clips?

John, you can still use this without moon clips Sir. Cheers and stay safe!

Beside cost, what is the difference between this gun and the non-LE gun?

Absolutely no difference Adair. The LE gun is just specially marked for sale to QP's only.
