I am normally a Glock guy, as anyone that has trained with me over the last seven years knows. But one thing a life in the military will break you of quickly is brand loyalty. You always have to be looking for an advantage, and in a world were equipment failures cost lives, you don’t care at all where that advantage comes from. So when the chance to review the Smith and Wesson M&P C.O.R.E. with threaded barrel came up, I jumped at the chance.

The lore surrounding the brute force of the Smith & Wesson S&W500 is legion. There have been plenty of tales about what this gun is capable of doing, both to the lackadaisical shooter and the intended target.

Smith & Wesson has signed a deal to acquire Crimson Trace for $95 million.

Probably the hottest segment of the handgun market is in guns that fit the concealed carry mode. The guns listed aren’t chosen for their level of usefulness for highly trained operators, but rather because they’re easy to learn to shoot well and are powerful and reliable enough to serve as excellent defensive tools.

No line of handguns is complete until it is offered in .45 ACP. Well, the new Smith & Wesson M&P .45 Shield is here!

Smith & Wesson made their big, new NRA Annual Meeting product announcement and it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser: meet the new S&W M&P Shield in .45 ACP.
