Smith & Wesson (S&W) is the largest manufacturer of handguns in the United States. The corporate headquarters is in Springfield, Massachusetts. Smith & Wesson is known for the many types of ammunition it has introduced over the years and for its revolver expertise.

In 1852, partners Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson formed a company to produce a lever-action pistol nicknamed the Volcanic pistol. The company became known as the “Volcanic Repeating Arms Company”; financial difficulties caused it to come into the majority ownership of investor Oliver Winchester.
In 1856, the partners left the Volcanic Company to begin a new company and to manufacture a newly-designed revolver-and-cartridge combination. The timing of the founding of this new company proved quite opportune for the partners, since the onset of the American Civil War five years later produced a great demand for Smith & Wesson’s products.
In 1964, the company passed from Wesson family control, and subsequently several conglomerates took control of it.
From 1987 to 2001 Tomkins PLC, a British company, owned Smith & Wesson.

In March 2000, Smith & Wesson signed an agreement with the Clinton Administration in order to avoid lawsuits. The company agreed to numerous safety and design standards, as well as limits on the sale and distribution of their products. Gun clubs and gun rights groups responded to this agreement almost instantly by initiating large-scale boycotts of Smith & Wesson by refusing to buy their new products and flooding the firearms market with used S&W guns, cutting into their market share.

On May 11, 2001, Saf-T-Hammer Corporation acquired Smith & Wesson Corp. from Tomkins PLC for US$15 million, a fraction of the US$112 million originally paid by Tomkins. Saf-T-Hammer also assumed US$30 million in debt, bringing the total purchase price to US$45 million. Saf-T-Hammer, a manufacturer of gun locks and other firearms safety products, purchased the company with the intention of incorporating its line of security products into all Smith & Wesson firearms in compliance with the 2000 agreement.
The acquisition of Smith & Wesson was chiefly brokered by Saf-T-Hammer President Bob Scott, who had left Smith & Wesson in 1999 because of a disagreement with Tomkins’ policies. After the purchase, Scott became the president of Smith & Wesson to guide the 157-year-old company back to its former standing in the market.
On February 15, 2002, the name of the newly formed entity was changed to Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation.

Smith & Wesson Sigma Series
Smith & Wesson introduced the Sigma series of recoil-operated, locked-breech semi-auto pistols in 1994 with the Sigma 40, followed by the Sigma 9. Sigma pistols bore so much similarity to Glocks that users could reportedly interchange many parts between Glock and Sigma models. The similarities were so great that many pundits referred to the Sigma series as “Swocks”, a playful contraction of S&W and Glock. As a result, Glock initiated a patent infringement lawsuit against Smith & Wesson, which paid an undisclosed sum (the amount of three million dollars has been theorized) to Glock for infringement of their patents. S&W thereupon received the rights to continue the production of Sigma line, but they were forced to redesign the pistol’s trigger mechanism so that it did not infringe upon Glock’s patents.
The gun frame is manufactured from polymer, while the slide and barrel use either stainless steel or carbon steel. In 1999, Smith & Wesson updated the Sigma by shortening the barrel (from 4-1/2 to 4 inches) and added an integral accessory rail for lights and laser target designators.

• Sigma 9—uses the 9 mm Luger Parabellum ammunition
• Sigma 40—uses the .40 S&W ammunition
• Sigma 357V—uses the .357 sig ammunition
• Sigma 380—uses the .380 ACP ammunition

Smith & Wesson SW99 Series
S&W also reached an agreement with Walther to produce variations of the P99 line of pistols. Branded as the SW99, the pistol is available in several calibers, including 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP, and in both full size and compact variations. Under the terms of the agreement, Walther produced the frames, and Smith and Wesson produced the slide and barrel. The pistol has several cosmetic differences from the original Walther design and strongly resembles a hybrid between the P99 and the Sigma series.

Smith & Wesson M&P Series
In 2005, Smith & Wesson debuted a new polymer-frame pistol intended for the law enforcement market. Dubbed the Smith & Wesson M&P (for Military and Police), its name was meant to evoke S&W’s history as the firearm of choice for law enforcement agencies through its previous lineup of M&P revolvers. Though similar in appearance to the still-produced Sigma lineup, the Smith & Wesson M&P is a new design. Many of the ergonomic study elements that had been incorporated into the Sigma and the SW99 were brought over to the Smith & Wesson M&P. The improved trigger weight and feel, and unique takedown method (not requiring a dry pull of the trigger) were meant to set the Smith & Wesson M&P apart from both the Sigma and the popular Glock pistols.
The Smith & Wesson M&P is available in 9×19 mm Para, .40 S&W, and .357 SIG. A .45 ACP model was released in early 2007, after making its debut at the SHOT Show. In addition, Smith & Wesson M&P compact versions are available in 9×19 mm Para, .40 S&W and .357 SIG.

Smith & Wesson SW1911 Series
In 2003, Smith & Wesson introduced their variation of the classic M1911 .45 ACP semi-automatic handgun, the SW1911. This firearm retains the M1911’s well known dimensions, operation, and feel, while adding a variety of modern touches. Updates to the design include serration at the front of the slide for easier operation and disassembly, a high “beaver-tail” grip safety, external extractor, lighter weight hammer and trigger, as well as updated internal safeties to prevent accidental discharges if dropped. S&W 1911s are available with black finished carbon steel slides and frames or bead blasted stainless slides and frames. They are also available with aluminum frames alloyed with scandium in either natural or black finishes. These updates have resulted in a firearm that is true to the M1911 design, with additions that would normally be considered “custom”, with a price similar to entry-level M1911 designs from other manufacturers.

In January 2006, Smith & Wesson entered into the AR-15 market with its M&P15 series of rifles. Unveiled at SHOT Show 2006, the rifle debuted in two varieties; the M&P15 and the M&P15T. Both are basically the same rifle, chambered in 5.56 NATO, with the T model featuring folding sights and a four-sided accessories rail. At its debut, the M&P15’s suggested retail price was $1,200, while the M&P15T retailed for $1,700. Their current line consists of four models, ranging in price from $1,300 to $2,200.

Smith & Wesson produced the Model 916,916T,916A 12 gauge shotguns which were plagued by poor quality control and had cascading minor issues in the field, prompting them to move on to the model 1000 and 3000 shotguns. However, Smith & Wesson exited the shotgun market in the early 1970s to return to their “core” market of handguns.
In November 2006, S&W announced that it would reenter the shotgun market with two new lines of shotguns, the Elite series and the 1000 series, unveiled at the 2007 SHOT Show. Along with the new shotguns, S&W debuted the Heirloom Warranty program, a first of its kind in the firearms industry. The warranty provides both the original buyer and the buyer’s chosen heir with a lifetime warranty on all Elite Series shotguns.

All Smith & Wesson revolvers have been equipped with an internal locking mechanism since the acquisition by Saf-T-Hammer. The mechanism itself is relatively unobtrusive, is activated with a special key, and renders the firearm inoperable. While the lock can simply not be ‘used’, some gun enthusiasts refuse to buy “post-lock” guns, fearing the lock might cause the gun to fail ( i.e., malfunction ) when they need it most such as in a crisis. Also if the lock breaks, the gun will not work without being repaired. Smith & Wesson has repeatedly stated that the locking mechanism does not affect reliability.

Smith & Wesson markets gun accessories, handcuffs, safes, apparel, collectibles, knives, tools, toys, and myriad other products under its brand name, including cologne and handbags.
In October 2002, Smith & Wesson announced it had entered into a licensing agreement with Cycle Source Group to produce a line of bicycles designed by and for law enforcement. These bicycles feature custom configurations and silent hubs ( for ’stealth’ cycling ), and are available for purchase by ‘civilians’.
Smith & Wesson flashlights are available to the general public. They are designed and produced by PowerTech, Inc. in Collierville, Tennessee.
Smith & Wesson also has a line of wood pellet grills. They are named after various pistol cartridges, such as .22 Mag, .38 Special, .44 Mag, .357 Mag, and .500 Mag.

Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3

The Schofield Model 3 is a .45 caliber, single-action, break-top revolver originally produced from 1875 until 1878. During that time, approximately 9,000 of the handguns were produced. The revolver’s cylinder held six cartridges, and the break-top action allowed easier access to the cylinder for faster reloading. The weapon was produced mostly for the use of the American and Russian militaries, among others, and was manufactured as many knock-off variants throughout the world.

The revolver took its name from Major George W. Schofield of the 10th Cavalry. About 1870 he wrote to Smith & Wesson requesting one of their then-new “Model No. 3″ revolvers, hoping it would prove useful in combat. Schofield made his own modifications to the Model No. 3 to meet his perceptions of the Cavalry’s needs, and in 1875 Smith & Wesson incorporated these refinements into a design they named after the Major, planning to obtain significant military contracts for the new revolver.
When the US Army purchased the new No. 3 .44 in 1870, they were the first cartridge revolvers used as standard issue sidearms. Up until that time, most pistols relied on the black powder cap-and-ball system which was, by comparison, slow, complicated, and susceptible to the effects of wet weather. In 1875 the Ordnance Board granted Smith & Wesson a contract to outfit the military with Schofield pistols, providing they could make the revolvers work with the .45 Colt (AKA “.45 Long Colt”) ammunition already in use. Smith & Wesson instead developed their own, slightly shorter .45 caliber round, the .45 Schofield, otherwise known as the .45 S&W. When it became obvious in the field that the two cartridges would not work interchangeably in the Schofield, although they both worked in the Colt the U.S. Government adopted the shorter version as the standard cartridge. Despite the change old stocks of the longer rounds in the supply line caused the Army to drop most of the Schofields and continued with the Colt. Major Schofield had patented his locking system and earned a payment on each gun that Smith and Wesson sold. At the time his older brother, John M. Schofield, was the head of the Army Ordnance Board and the political situation may have been the main issue for the early end of army sales.
Many of these saw service in the Indian Wars, and there are reports of them in use as late as the Spanish American War and Philippine Insurrection. Like the other Smith and Wesson Model 3’s, they were also reportedly popular with lawmen and outlaws in the American West, and were reportedly used by Jesse James, John Wesley Hardin, Pat Garrett, Theodore Roosevelt, Virgil Earp, and many others. While the standard barrel length was 7″, many Schofields were purchased as surplus by distributors, had the barrels shortened to 5″, and were refinished in nickel.

The Schofield was produced in three numbered versions, the third of which was the mass-produced military version. The First Model Schofield has a latch configuration that is rather pointed at the top and has a circle around the screw head at the bottom, whereas the Second Model latch has a large raised circle at the top of the latch. Smith and Wesson Model 3 has the latch mounted on the frame rather than the barrel. Serial number range also will give an indication of whether it is First or Second Model, with the s/n’s changing from the First Model to the Second Model at a little over 3,000.
In 1878, S&W discontinued production of its other Model 3’s – the American, Russian, and Schofield – in favor a new improved design called the New Model Number Three. Standard chambering was .44 Russian, although other calibers were offered on special order or in related models such as the .44-40 Frontier Model, the .32-44 & .38-44 Target Models, and the very rare .38 Winchester Model. The New Mod. #3 was arguably the pinnacle of 19th century revolver design. Their accuracy was such that they were used to set most of the target records of the era.

Currently, several firearms companies have issued reproduction Schofields for Cowboy Action Shooters and other Old West aficionados. Uberti, Smith & Wesson, Beretta, and Armi San Marco have all offer modern versions for sale.
Uberti
Uberti version, imported by Navy Arms, had external dimensions generally similar to the original 2nd Model Schofield, but the barrel and topstrap are considerably thicker, for additional strength. As with the ASM model, the Navy Arms/Uberti has a lengthened cylinder to accommodate .45 Long Colt and .44-40 cartridges. Although there were some problems with the locking latch angles in early guns, these were generally corrected or the guns replaced. As with the ASM, the Uberti Schofields have changes made to their lockwork to meet import regulations.
San Marco
The version formerly made by Armi San Marco was the closest, dimensionally, to the original First Model, but, unlike the original which was chambered for .45 Schofield ONLY, the ASM was chambered for .45 Long Colt. This was done by lengthening the cylinder and shortening the breech end of the barrel, leaving less room between the face of the cylinder and the rear of the frame hinge than was the case on the original. There are also internal differences in the lockwork required by U.S. Government import regulations to supposedly make the guns safer. The gun was imported by Cimarron Arms. Production problems, especially with the angle of the locking surfaces on the latch and frame sometimes alarmingly allowed the gun to open on firing. Many of these were recalled by Cimarron and replaced, but the gun was dropped from importation by the company. Production was discontinued with the sale of ASM to an American corporation.
Smith and Wesson
Another Schofield was made by Smith & Wesson, the original manufacturer. This gun was first shown at the 2000 SHOT Show. Although made by the same manufacturer as the original, and touted as being a “true” reproduction, side-by-side comparison of an original with the pre-production gun showed that the new version is slightly beefier than the original around the barrel and topstrap, though not as much as on the Navy Arms guns. Changes in the internal lock mechanism were also made. It appears from the photos that the firing pin in the S&W Model is frame-mounted instead of being an integral part of the hammer.

Smith & Wesson Model 60

The Smith & Wesson Model 60 revolver can be fired in 38 Special and .357 Magnum calibers. Like nearly all other “J-frame” Smith & Wesson revolvers, it has a 5-round capacity in a swing-out chamber, and features an exposed hammer. It has been in production since 1965, and holds the distinction of being the first stainless-steel revolver ever made.
Currently it is the main handgun for officers of the South Korean National Police.
Its 2″ barrel version is one of the preferred backup and conceal carry weapon for law enforcement officers and for civilian use; although a lot of practice is required to achieve precision shooting with it at mid-range, which is why it is commonly referred to as a “close quarters gun” or as a “belly gun”, as some people claim it is best for being pressed directly against the target’s belly and shot.
This model has been copied by other makers, but its reliability has kept it selling over the years.

Smith & Wesson Model 340PD

The Smith and Wesson 340PD is an ultra-light, J-frame, five shot, short-barrel revolver.
The Smith and Wesson 340PD has a frame constructed of scandium enhanced aluminum alloy, a titanium alloy cylinder, and a corrosion resistant steel barrel liner. Unloaded, the Smith and Wesson 340PD weighs only 12 ounces and when loaded remains under a pound. With no external hammer, the Smith and Wesson 340PD operates double action only and is a popular choice for concealed carry. The Smith and Wesson 340PD barrel is engraved with a warning not to use ammunition with bullet weights of less than 120 grains. This is due to the risk of frame erosion from excessive discharge gas temperatures (and possibly still burning powder). Another warning in the Smith and Wesson 340PD owners manual is that recoil may pull the cases of unfired rounds in the cylinder rearward with enough force to unseat the bullets causing the cylinder to jam.

Smith & Wesson Model 686

The Smith & Wesson (S & W) Model 686, is a six or seven shot double action revolver chambered for the .357 Magnum cartridge. It will also chamber and fire .38 Special cartridges, as the .357 Magnum was developed from the .38 Special. The magnum case is slightly longer to prevent magnum rounds from being chambered and fired in handguns chambered for the .38 Special. The 686 has been available with 2-1/2 in. (64 mm); 4 in. (102 mm); 6 in. (153 mm); and 8-3/8″ in. (214 mm) barrel lengths as standard models and other barrel lengths either by special order from S & W’s Performance Center custom shop, or acquired from or built by after-market gunsmiths. The Performance Center also made a limited number of 686 in .38 Super for competitive shooters.
Smith & Wesson introduced the Model 686 in 1980. It is the stainless steel version of the 586, which was made of what used to be known as blued steel, but is now most often called carbon steel. It was chambered for .357 Magnum and .38 S&W Special +P calibers. The 600 series Smith & Wesson revolvers are true workhorses for both duty and sporting use. They are available ported and unported with a choice of 6 or 7 round cylinders.
The Model 686 is based on S & W’s L (medium) revolver frame. During the 1980s, Smith & Wesson developed its L-Frame line of .357 Magnums: the Model 581, Model 586, Model 681 and Model 686. These Magnums had a major effect on both law enforcement and sporting markets. This model line became one of the company’s most popular in its history.

• S&W Model 686 (US - Revolver - .357 Magnum & .38 Special: Distinguished Combat Magnum 6 shot cylinder, Stainless)
• S&W Model 686P (US - Revolver - .357 Magnum & .38 Special: Distinguished Combat Magnum 7 shot cylinder, Stainless)
• S&W Model 686PP (US - Revolver - .357 Magnum & .38 Special: Distinguished Combat Magnum Power Port 6 shot cylinder, Stainless)

The weapon has an adjustable rear sight, and until 1992, the 6- and 8.5-inch versions also had an adjustable front sight. They had Goncalo alves hardwood grips until 1994, when the grip was replaced by a rubber Hogue grip.
Through the years, there have been several interesting variations on the Model 686. The Model 686 Classic Hunter was introduced in 1988 and has a 6-inch barrel and a solid round cylinder; the Model 686 Black Stainless was introduced in 1988 and has a 4-inch barrel and a black finish; the Model 686 National Security Special was introduced in 1992 and has a 3- or 4-inch barrel; The Model 686 Target Champion was introduced in 1992 and has a 6-inch match barrel, adjustable trigger stop, and walnut grips; the Model 686 Power Port was introduced in 1994 and has a ported 6-inch barrel; the Model 686 Plus was introduced in 1996 and has a 2.5-inch, 4-inch, or 6-inch barrel, 7-shot cylinder, ergonomic wooden grips, Hi-Viz sights, and lockable by a key;. A 5-inch barrel version was added in 2005, also known as the Model 686 5″.

Smith & Wesson Model 500

The Model 500 Revolver is a five-shot, double-action revolver produced by Smith & Wesson, firing the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge.
Based on S&W’s largest frame, the X-Frame, the Model 500 is the world’s most powerful production revolver. The .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum cartridge can fire at incredible velocities and deliver an unusually large quantity of kinetic energy - the most high-powered commercial round weighing 440 grains (28.5 g) has a muzzle energy of more than 2600 foot·pounds force (3.5 kJ). However, handloaders have experimented with 325 grain bullets at 2300 feet per second, developing 3817 foot·pounds (5.1 kJ) of muzzle energy.
Articles, statements, and opinions vary widely on this firearm. Any of the available bullet weights can be relied on to take game at a range in excess of 200 yards (180 m), a feat matched by only a handful of other handguns.
While firearms of this size can scare un-seasoned shooters with the recoil, the advanced design of the firearm helps in counteracting recoil felt by the shooter. This includes the sheer weight of the firearm, use of rubber grips, the forward balance, and the use of a compensator. (The later is traded for a full muzzle brake on certain S&W Performance Center models.) These additions make the firearm entirely manageable for those accustomed to the shooting of large caliber handguns, but still extreme for an inexperienced shooter.
There are four versions currently manufactured by Smith & Wesson:

• The standard Model 500 with an 8 3/4 in (222 mm) barrel
• 500S (Short) with 4 in barrel. Weight 56 oz. (3-1/2 lbs)
• 500H (Hunter) with a longer 10.5 in (26.6 cm) barrel
• Performance Center model also has a barrel length of 10.5 in (26.6 cm) and includes improvements to enhance accuracy.

Like most big caliber handguns, the Smith & Wesson Model 500 is suitable for sport and hunting applications.
There have also been at least a small number of Smith & Wesson Model 500 “survival guns” produced. These guns, with a 2-3/4 in (51 mm) barrel and no compensator, are intended to be kept in survival kits carried by bush pilots and pilots operating in Alaska and similarly hostile environments. The purpose of having such a heavy round with a snub-nosed barrel is to give survivors of an airplane crash a weapon capable of taking down an attacking bear or other hostile wildlife at point blank range, while conserving necessarily limited ammunition. The short barrel allows the gun to take up less space and weight in the survival kit.

When the Smith & Wesson Model 500 was introduced, it immediately sparked action by gun control advocates. Senator Chuck Schumer claimed that the firearm was finding its way into the hands of gangs and other criminals, and that he did not believe that the firearm would be used for hunting as it was “too heavy”. The Violence Policy Center also released a report on the Smith & Wesson Model 500 calling it the “vest-buster.”
Pro-gun supporters pointed out that the firearm was not yet on the market at the time the accusations were made, as well as the fact that it weighed less than most hunting rifles. Despite the fact that subsequent ballistics testing has shown that factory loaded .500 S&W Magnum ammunition is not capable of penetrating body armor of the type used by law enforcement officers, political pressure to ban the .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum cartridge persists.
