The reason I was given is because S&W has M&P9s in the 17 round and 10 round versions and though the only difference is mags, distributors will only bring in the models with SKUs associated with 10 rounders... and the one with thumb safety is only available with 17 round mags. Basically they said the mags it comes with from factory are "attached" to the gun in terms of import so they can't (or won't?) just bring in the gun and pin/swap mags.

Good luck anyway, I'm still open to finding an M&P9 with thumb safety as well.
Thanks for the info. I guess our only recourse is to get one through IRG.
