Smith & Wesson

Smith & Wesson just released updated variants of their midsize M&P M2.0 Compact, now optics-ready for use with mini red dot sights.

There are two booming markets in the United States for handguns: Concealed carry pistols, and out-of-the-box competition pistols. And Smith & Wesson has been a formidable name in both for many years.

A horrible on-set accident during the filming of the dark action horror film The Crow ultimately snuffed the career of a promising young actor.

Smith & Wesson’s latest addition to the M&P SHIELD lineup is intended to reduce the barriers to shooting a semiautomatic handgun. The M&P 9 SHIELD EZ is touted as easy to use from all perspectives. Many have said it’s ideal for those with lower grip strength, like women and the elderly, but who wouldn’t want a gun that’s easier to use?

Sig has made the leap into the deep end of the pool to compete with the well-established pillars of the micro market, the Smith & Wesson Shield, and the Glock 43 9mms. It certainly looked and felt good, and it held more bullets than its rival competitors, but looks are sometimes deceiving. The true test is when you put a product side by side with its competitors and see how they stack up. So after a not so patient wait to get the newly popular P365 its time to get down to the range, scales and numbers to see how it does.

By combining three components, subsonic ammo, a modular suppressor system and their Slide Locking Device Hush Puppy wants to make the quietest handguns.

Smith & Wesson have done well selling their M&P 380 Shield EZ. Now they have answered the demand and introduced the easy to use M&P9 Shield EZ in 9mm. True Pearce, who owns the .380 version, spoke with Sith & Wesson at SHOT Show 2020.

Smith & Wesson is starting the new year by introducing a bunch of new Performance Center guns, with M&P pistols and Thompson/Center rifles.

Victims of a 2018 shooting in Toronto, Ontario, are suing Smith and Wesson, the company that manufactured the shooter’s gun. Their claim is that S&W didn’t incorporate smart technology that could have prevented the shooting.
