It is known variously as the Military & Police, the Victory Model (during WWII) and the Model 10. The M&P still ranks as one of the most popular handguns ever built.

It left a lasting and positive impression on my young mind. I didnt know any history about it except that it was really old, but what struck me was that I hit the pop can I was aiming at with the first shot. It is rugged and reliable, and the old ones, sometimes referred to as long stroke, have one of the best DA triggers of the class.

Im sure a lot of others cut their handgun teeth on the M&P as well. The very first handgun I ever fired was an old Smith & Wesson Military & Police.
