All M&Ps are lifetime to the original owner.

From the S&W website:

In the design of the M&P, we considered the needs of military and law enforcement from every conceivable angle. No other polymer pistol offers this combination of versatility, durability and safety. ALL BACKED BY OUR SMITH & WESSON LIFETIME SERVICE POLICY.

Thanks that is really a great thing!!! love the gun put 110 through it first time out!!!
is there any other things to know about the warrenty?
There is the spelling thing. How about warranty. All S&W handguns come with a lifetime warranty. Even if you're not the original owner. Smith does a great job of backing up there products.

Ha ha not Warrany...it's Warranty. Just messin with ya. I have this thing for spelling. Learned it in school.

Go to the first page of this thread and read the first reply to your question.
ok just wanted to see what other people have to say!! thanks
Not to pick nits....but the warranty is one year... but S&W has a service policy under which they will do repairs for the lifetime of the original owner... and in practice they do it for subsequent owners.

This seems to me to be a "lawyer issue" of wording... warranty means something legally and service policy means something else. Basically I would say the wording simply means they can discontinue the lifetime warranty should they find it necessary to do so... if they had a lifetime warranty there would be contractual issues with dropping the lifetime warranty.

FWIW

cxm, great way to explain the difference. After reading your post it's much more clear. I always thought it was a Lifetime Warranty. I've owned probably close to 20 S&W handguns over the years and have had little need to send a gun in for repair but when I've had questions or ordered anything from S&W they have gone out of their way to help me. John, how in the world do you get rust on a gun made of stainless steel coated with Melonite and has a plastic frame. I've owned an M&P 40 since they first came out and my gun is carried on duty so exposed to the elements. I've yet to see any rust and of all the guys I work with carrying them, no reports of rust. I swear there are people who throw out stupid statements just to start a rumor or see how far the claim goes. I wouldn't believe it unless I saw it on my own gun.
