M&P 9mm question

[DBeato]

I`ve had an M&P for a few months now and it is starting to grow on me more and more.
One question, any picture I have ever seen of one has "stainless" on the slide.
Mine does not, are all the new ones like this? I really don't care either way just curious why it does not have it.
Thanks

My MP9 is about 18months old, and does have "stainless" stamped on the slide. If it matters, mine shipped with the magazine disconnect.

Since about 6-8 months ago, S&W stopped stamping the slides with "Stainless" on the side. Your gun is one of the newer ones made.
