Smith & Wesson's M&P line traces its roots all the way back to 1900 and its original Military & Police .38-cal. revolver, with the Model 10 being the longest and continuously running production firearm in the world. Over the years, the company has expanded its M&P line, with modern iterations including the Bodyguard .380 ACP, the Shield, the M&P9 or 40 Compact as well as the M&P45, with many having the option of Crimson Trace laser grips.
