M&P10
While the 5.56mm NATO round is effective in many circumstances, Smith & Wesson offers the M&P10 for those times when only a 7.62mm NATO will do. This rifle uses an 18-inch barrel with a patented flash suppressor.

The M&P10 is optics ready with a Picatinny rail and a low-profile gas block. S&W also equipped this rifle with a six-position-adjustable stock and chromed the gas key and bolt carrier. A 20-round Magpul PMAG magazine is included with the M&P10 rifle.

M&P15-22
Designed to replicate the operations and features of the centerfire M&P15, this .22 LR rifle makes an excellent training tool. It has a quad-rail handguard to allow a shooter to attach all of the normal accessories that are found on the defensive rifle for realistic training. Likewise, the Picatinny rail on top of the receiver means a red-dot sight can be added to further enhance the training experience.

While it’d be impossible to count the times a police officer has been saved by a backup gun, I imagine many of those guns were revolvers wearing the Smith & Wesson emblem. The M&P340 is a modern Centennial revolver with a hidden hammer. This style of wheelgun allows it to be drawn from deep concealment without clothing catching on a hammer spur. Chambered in .357 Magnum, this handgun has a bright XS Sight Systems 24/7 tritium front sight for easy aiming during the day or at night.
M&P40
Chambered in one of the most popular cartridges for law enforcement duty use, the M&P40 is a full-sized pistol rugged enough for any mission. These striker-fired, polymer-framed pistols have a stainless steel internal chassis for incredible strength and durability. Smith & Wesson designed the M&P40 with interchangeable palm swell inserts to adjust the overall size of the grip to best match the shooter. The standard-capacity magazines hold 15 rounds, and the three-dot sights help you get on target quickly.

One of the most popular guns on the market today is the M&P Shield. Available in both 9mm and .40 S&W, these guns work great as backup guns and as off-duty/concealed-carry pieces.

With single-stack magazines, Smith & Wesson was able to build them very thin. The three-dot sights are large enough to be used effectively, but they won’t snag on clothing when drawn from concealment. Versions with and without thumb safeties are available.
