Smith and Wesson M&P Pistols with Thumb Safety

By Richard on January 19, 2009 22 Comments

In December, I first told you that all of the Smith and Wesson M&P pistols could now be had with 1911-style thumb safeties.  S&W had every model of M&P pistol displayed with a thumb safety at the 2009 SHOT Show.

S&W M&P pistol with manual safety

I worked with several different M&P pistols and found the safeties worked very well.  I wasn’t sure I would like them, but they were easy to manipulate, clicked smartly into place, and did not interfere with my grip.  I don’t know that I would order a M&P with a thumb safety, but I certainly would consider it.

Smith and Wesson M&P Ships to Three Additional State Law Enforcement Agencies

By Richard on November 25, 2008 No Comments

Smith and Wesson announced that they are shipping 1155 M&P duty pistols to three state law enforcement agencies.  All three agencies were not issuing Smith and Wesson guns prior to this, but now all three issue the M&P as the primary duty gun.

Texas Department of Criminal Justice Services – 555 M&P in .357 Sig
Washington Department of Corrections – 500 M&P in 9mm
Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigations – 100 M&P in .45 ACP

As reported on this site and on BlueSheepdog.com, the M&P has been selling well in the law enforcement market.  While the Glock is still king, S&W is definitely fighting for police agencies, trying to regain the dominance it once had.
