About the Gun

While not their first endeavor into polymer frame striker-fired pistols, Smith & Wesson's M&P features many design improvements over their lower cost Sigma series pistols. These features include an improved trigger action, field interchangeable palm swells, black Melonite finished stainless steel barrel and slide with twin scalloped slide serrations, a Zytel polymer frame reinforced with a stainless steel chassis, and an accessory rail.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge was developed as a joint venture between Winchester and Smith & Wesson. It was an effort to to create a cartridge with the same power as the 10mm Norma round that the FBI had just started using, but in a shorter case. The shorter cartridge would facilitate accuracy and allow use of a smaller, more comfortable grip frame. The .40 S&W has become the cartridge of choice for many law enforcement agencies in the United States.
