The most innovative variation to emerge from Smith & Wesson's M&P series of handguns came in 2013 with the introduction of the Competition Optics Ready Equipment (C.O.R.E.), also available in the Pro Series configuration. With this development, S&W brought to market handguns that are optics-ready and competition-quality, right out of the box. Watch this "Rifleman Review" segment from a recent episode of American Rifleman TV for a review of the Smith & Wesson M&P 9L Pro Series C.O.R.E. pistol.
