It looks like Smith & Wesson may be introducing a new .380 ACP pistol in the M&P line of handguns. The Firearm Blog made a nice discovery when looking at the 21 Gun Salute Gun Give Away being offered by Express Police Supply.
The contest features the give away of one Smith & Wesson gun a month for the next 21 months. The Firearm Blog made the observation that in May 2010, Express is giving away a M&P 380, which is labeled a “Brand New M&P Model.”
I’ve never cared for any of the .380 ACP guns S&W has made in the past. However, I really like the M&P line of guns, so I have cautious hope for this new pistol. I personally think S&W could make more money making .380 ammo instead of guns… I suppose we will see this pistol at the 2010 SHOT Show.
