Smith & Wesson Teaser, Something Big is Coming
Smith & Wesson released a teaser today for a new product that will be launching April 12, 2012. I think this is great news, and I’m personally hoping for a single stack pistol for concealed carry, likely extension to the M&P line. In my opinion, Smith & Wesson has a gap in their product line […]
