Smith & Wesson

Most people who spend more than two decades climbing mountains eventually decide to stop climbing. Tom Taylor tried. It did not take.

As an outdoorsman, I enjoy being afield in all sorts of capacities. While hunting is one of my favorite pastimes, fishing and hiking are a wonderful means of spending time with friends and family and living in close proximity to both the Catskill and Adirondack mountains, there is ample opportunity for both of those activities. I am also, by trade, a Professional Land Surveyor, so my work hours are often spent in the remote wilderness areas.

Smith & Wesson trims the fat and tunes what matters. Better sights, a cleaner trigger, and the same pocketable J-frame footprint make this a smart carry refresh.

Smith & Wesson continues expanding its Carry Comp lineup with a full‑size 10mm built around control rather than outright concealability.

Smith & Wesson includes two 17-round magazines with the Metal HD. MSRP is set at $1,149. The pistol balances weight and control without pushing fully into race-gun territory.

Smith & Wesson is expanding its Performance Center Carry Comp lineup with a chambering a lot of shooters have been asking for: 10mm Auto.

Chamberings span .32 H&R Magnum and .38 Special +P, giving shooters options depending on recoil sensitivity and preferred defensive loadouts.

The new Davidson’s-exclusive Model 20 pulls heavily from both the Heavy Duty and Outdoorsman DNA.

Developed in 1966 for the U.S. Navy SEALs, the Smith & Wesson Model 76 Submachine Gun was built to replace the M/45 Swedish K after U.S. supply was cut off during the Vietnam War.
