Went to the local SW to purchase a S&W M&P40 compact. Asked the sales guy 1) did they have any in stock and 2) did they have any without the internal lock option? As he was reaching for one to show me, he advised that "they are required by federal law to only sell the option with the internal lock."
When I politely told him that that wasn't the case, he changed the story to "it was company policy" to only sell the internal lock configuration. I told him that he didn't need to get the gun down from the display since I didn't want it with the lock.
Has anyone else run into this, and does it indeed sound like a policy SW would have, or just an uninformed salesman?
