Smith & Wesson Factory Magazines and the M&P 9 and 40
We see all of the trends in the firearm industry and have enough experience to say NO, to stocking inventory on certain firearms but the sales data just doesn’t justify keeping inventory around for it. When I think of Smith & Wesson handguns I usually think of the wheel guns because it’s such and established brand with so many firearms that have been in use for a long time. When Law Enforcement started making the changes from 38 Special or 357 Magnum to Semi-auto handguns, there was a period of time that the handguns out were really not that great. It was really a machining and engineering starting point. There were a few S&W guns in the 80’s and 90’s that were OK, but nothing compares to the reliability and durability of what firearm manufacturers are putting out these days.
I’ve got a few wheel guns in my safe that get used very often but the one firearm I’ve been eyeballing for a long time is the Smith & Wesson M&P. I’m always torn when I see these 9/40 guns because I’m always wishing I had a 45acp. The capacity on the 9mm is 17rds the 40 is 15rds and and the 45acp holds 10rds. These have the interchangeable backstraps, there are compact models and it’s up to you have you want to thumb safety. We stock a lot of the Smith & Wesson Factory Magazines for all of the M&P handguns, from the Shield to the M&P. There AR15 rifles are always probable in my Top 5 list of AR15s to recommend.
