S&W's M&P Revolver!

12 June 07

S&W M&P Revolver!

Today, I handled a copy of S&W's M&P, eight-shot, 357Mg revolver. It comes complete with a rail under the barrel and is clearly designed as a police/patrol sidearm.

One may load/reload it using eight-shot, full-moon clips that come with it. The clips also make policing brass a good deal quicker and easier than picking up individual cases.

Police departments and individual officers who never fell out of love with revolvers may well abandon their autoloaders and gravitate back to this updated version of the traditional American police workhorse. I like it!

S&W is clearly a player again!

Whoa! S&W has it on their site here. This is bizarre, but very cool.

Is there a gun in that picture? Seriously though, the big advantage is it's space-age materials which allows you to have an 8-shot revolver that doesn't weigh 10 pounds.

You can buy a 686+ for a lot less and drop down one round in capacity. That will be one ugly holster for that thing.
