An American firearms maker best known for the M&P (Military & Police) pistols and its classic "wheelgun" revolvers, sold to police, hunters, and sport shooters. The company was born in 1852 when Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson teamed up in Connecticut, and the pair's first big hit was the Model 1 of 1857—the first successful revolver to fire self-contained metallic cartridges. Ironically, the patents that made Smith & Wesson famous came from an inventor, Rollin White, who was later ruined defending them in court.
