The Smith & Wesson M&P (Military and Police) is a polymer-framed, curt recoil operated, locked breech semi-automatic pistol introduced in the summertime of 2005 by the American visitor Smith & Wesson. It uses a Browning-type locking organization. While targeted at law enforcement agencies,[1] the One thousand&P is too widely available on the commercial marketplace.

History [edit]

The M&P is a hybrid development of the Smith & Wesson Sigma and Smith & Wesson SW99 blueprint but does non share parts compatibility with the Sigma. The Grand&P design has an improved trigger and enhanced ergonomics that allow for end-user customization. An manufacture standard Picatinny rails and a higher grip has been afforded with an improved grip and beavertail. Many of the ergonomic study elements that had been incorporated into the Sigma and the Smith & Wesson SW99 were brought over to the Thou&P. The improved trigger weight and feel and the unique takedown method (not requiring a dry-burn pull of the trigger) were meant to set the M&P apart from the popular Glock pistols.

Pattern details [edit]

The M&P is a striker-fired semi-automatic pistol. This trigger arrangement prevents the firearm from discharging unless the trigger is fully depressed, even if the pistol is dropped. An internal lock and/or magazine disconnect are available as options and an optional external thumb safety became available in 2009.[2]

The pistol frame is made out of Zytel polymer reinforced with a stainless steel chassis. The pistol comes with iv removable and interchangeable grip inserts and features a 108° grip angle. The slide and barrel are made of stainless steel, that after hardening is treated with a proprietary nitriding process called Melonite. The Melonite process produces a matte greyness not-glare surface with a 68 Rockwell C surface hardness rating. The pistol has a depression slide profile which holds the barrel centrality shut to the shooter'due south hand and makes the M&P more than comfortable to shoot by reducing muzzle rising and allowing faster aim recovery in rapid shooting sequence. The slide has four contact points with the frame. This was done to make the rail system self cleaning, by leaving room for any dirt or small foreign objects to fall out of the weapon.[three]

Every bit the slide of the pistol enters bombardment, the striker engages the sear. At this signal, the sear is held back in a partially cocked status. When the trigger of the 1000&P is pulled, the trigger bar starting time engages the firing pin safety plunger, lifting it upward, and releasing firing pin rubber. At the rearward farthermost of the trigger bar'south travel, it engages the sear. The sear is rotated downward by the trigger bar, fully cocking, then releasing the striker. The striker makes contact with the primer of the chambered round, which in turn ignites the gunpowder and propels the bullet forward. Co-ordinate to G&P gunsmith Dan Burwell, the bending on the rear face of the sear creates a camming activity against the striker. This camming action moves the striker to the rear very slightly during the trigger pull, thus finishing the "cocking".[4] This system is similar to the partially tensioned striker constitute in the Glock series of pistols. When the pistol cycles for the next shot, the striker will be automatically pre-ready in a 98% artsy position. Because the striker is only 98% cocked prior to the trigger existence pulled, Smith & Wesson classifies the Yard&P's action as "striker fired (double activeness but)".[five] [6]

The M&P manufacturing plant trigger is of the jointed type and has a trigger travel of 7.6 mm (0.three in) and is rated at 29 N (six.5 lbf). The Thousand&P45c models have a slightly higher rated trigger pull of 31 N (seven.0 lbf). The competition oriented Thousand&P40 Pro Series have a reduced trigger pull of 20 North (4.v lbf) due to the installation of a Smith & Wesson performance center sear. Massachusetts (MA) canonical models take a trigger pull of 45 N (ten lbf).[7] The pistols are delivered with two magazines.[three]

The standard iron sights are of the 3 dot type and made of steel. Both the front and rear sights are dove-tailed into the slide, and can be horizontally drifted to adjust for windage correction.[three] An integrated Picatinny rail can be found underneath the slide on the forepart of the frame for attaching tactical lights, lasers and other accessories.

In that location are x-round magazine versions of each pistol available for the California, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Australian, and Canadian markets. Novak tritium night sights are an available pick for both the full-sized and compact versions. Another optional accessory is the stainless steel lanyard pin. The new pin replaces the original solid plastic pin with one that has a stainless steel band embedded for utilize with a lanyard.[eight]

Variants [edit]

The Thousand&P9 JG is a standard size Champion series variant named for Julie Golob and fitted with a Warren Tactical rear sight and a fiber optic front end sight. Besides the three standard black grip inserts information technology comes with two small and medium-sized pink grip inserts. A portion of the proceeds from sale of these models will go to a breast cancer sensation clemency and an sensation ribbon is etched on the slide of the pistol.[9]

In 2007 the full-size .45 ACP version of the M&P was introduced sporting a 114 mm (4.5 in) butt. This model too won Handgun of the Twelvemonth in 2007.[10]

In 2008, Smith & Wesson introduced new versions of the Chiliad&P: the M&P45 Mid-size, the G&P45 Compact, the G&P9L, and the M&P Pro Series. The 1000&P45 Mid-size sports a 102 mm (4.0 in) barrel and a full-sized grip, and the M&P45 Compact targets the concealed behave market with its 4" butt and shorter grip (with 8 or ten-round capacity).

In 2011, Smith & Wesson released the M&P22, a cosmetically similar handgun chambered in .22 Long Burglarize. The internal construction and blowback operation of this rimfire cartridge variant is the aforementioned as the Walther P22, which Smith & Wesson used to import into the United States, and completely differs from the center fire M&P variants. Rather than the iii-dot sights found on other models, the M&P22 has a single dot on the front end sight and notch rear that is adjustable for elevation and windage.[11] In 2013 the scaled-down One thousand&P22 Compact was released.

In 2012, Smith & Wesson introduced the M&P Shield in 9mm and .40 S&West. The Shield is a subcompact single-stack magazine variant of the Chiliad&P line. The Shield has roughly the same silhouette equally the G&P Compact simply is considerably thinner at less than 1-inch in width. The Shield is the outset M&P to incorporate an improved trigger with positive reset.[12] In 2016 a .45 ACP variant Shield was added to Smith and Wesson's production line.[xiii] The .45 ACP Shield variant has a 5.1 mm (0.2 in) longer barrel, measuring in at pinnacle length of 84 mm (3.3 in), and exhibits larger overall dimensions.

In 2014, Smith & Wesson introduced the M&P Bodyguard 380 in .380 ACP. The M&P Bodyguard is functionally identical to the previous released Bodyguard 380, which it replaces. The Thousand&P-branded Bodyguard removes the integrated laser sight of the previous pistol and brings the aesthetics in line with the rest of the M&P product line. Unlike the rest of the M&P pistols, the K&P Bodyguard is not striker-fired. It is a more traditional double-action-only hammer-fired pistol intended for personal protection, concealed comport or as a law enforcement "redundancy" gun.[xiv]

In 2017, Smith & Wesson introduced the G&P M2.0 series. Changes include a full-length steel chassis, a rough textured grip, and the improved trigger arrangement of the Pro series.[15]

In 2018, Smith & Wesson introduced the K&P 380 Shield EZ. As the name suggests, the Shield EZ has a number of convenience features including an easy-to-rack slide and an easy-to-load magazine.[16] In tardily 2019, Smith & Wesson added a 9mm offering to the Shield EZ line.[17] Both the .380 and 9mm variants feature an internal hammer.

In spring 2021, Smith & Wesson introduced the M&P Shield Plus in 9mm.[18] An development of the G&P Shield, the G&P Shield Plus, among other improvements, utilizes a double-stack magazine to increase clip size at the sacrifice of a slight increment in width.

In Nov 2021, Smith & Wesson introduced the Thousand&P M2.0 chambered in 10mm Auto to the M&P M2.0 family. Smith & Wesson offers a iv.0 in (101.6 mm) barrel meaty model and a larger four.six in (116.8 mm) barrel model.
