In 2021, Smith & Wesson announced their move from their long-time home in Connecticut to a 650,000-square-foot headquarters in Maryville, Tennessee. To celebrate this change in the company’s identity, Smith & Wesson is releasing a limited run of M&P9 and Shield Plus Tennessee Special pistols.

s&w m&p9 tennessee specials&w m&p9 tennessee special
To celebrate their historic move to Tennessee, Smith & Wesson is releasing a run of M&P 9 Tennessee Special pistols.

Tennessee has been historically divided into West, Middle, and East. The tri-star state flag pays homage to this, and Smith & Wesson has laser engraved it into the barrels of its excellent M&P line of polymer-framed pistols.

“M&P striker-fired pistols have remained a cornerstone of Smith & Wesson’s legacy over the years and embody our brand’s ethos of reliability, performance, and durability. These extensions proudly bearing the engraved Tri-Star emblem are a tribute to our historic move and the rich heritage of our new home in Tennessee,” said Andrew Gore, Smith & Wesson’s Handgun Product Manager.

This limited run covers across several versions of the M&P. These include:

  • The M&P Shield Plus Microcompact 3.1-inch barrel, with and without a thumb safety.
  • The M&P 2.0 Double-Stack Compact 4-inch barrel and safety.
  • The M&P 2.0 Full Size 4.5-inch barrel and safety.

These pistols are chambered in 9mm Luger and are functionally the same as any other in the M&P line, suitable for deep concealment up to duty, save for a bit of Tennessee flair. The M&P Shield Plus models are available and have an MSRP of $549. The larger M&P compact and full-size models each have an MSRP of $669 and $679, respectively.

Though not limited to the American South, the area around the Mississippi River Delta is where we tend to think of “Bayou Country,” which is really any body of water typically found in a flat, low-lying area. It can include an extremely slow-moving stream, marshy lake, wetland, or creek. A bayou is further noted for its brackish water, which is often heavily wooded.

The unique colors of the wetlands served as an inspiration for the artisans at American Defense Manufacturing, which has introduced a new Bayou Camo pattern for its flagship UIC MOD 2 rifle. The Cerakote finish features a variety of different shades of green and grey that can help wearers blend in with forests, swamps, and, of course, bayous.

In addition to the bayou color palette, the UIC MOD 2 offers American Defense’s patented fully ambidextrous controls, which allow operators to actuate the bolt catch and release, along with magazine release from both sides. Each function of our ambidextrous controls is accessible while maintaining constant contact with the rifle grip for maximum effectiveness during duty or recreational use. The MOD-2 line of rifles further come standard with precision hand-lapped Criterion Barrels, G2S Precision 2-Stage Triggers, and your choice of suppressor-ready muzzle devices, including a Dead Air Keymo, Huxwrx, Surefire Warcomp, or Solgw NOX Keymount flash hiders.

In addition to its camouflage design, the UIC MOD 2 offers American Defense’s patented fully ambidextrous controls.

It is ready to trek through Bayou Country or turn heads at the local range. The American Defense Manufacturing UIC MOD 2 Bayou is available now with an MSRP of $2,575.

Vortex, a name synonymous with quality, has expanded its apparel lineup with two new sunglasses options. The new sunglasses were designed to give consumers a new option between hyper-tactical eyewear and usually uncomfortable safety eye protection.

The sunglasses are currently available in two models, the Banshee and the Jackal, and are constructed from ballistic-rated materials that hold up against vigorous activities. They feature polarized lenses that cut glare and reduce eye strain, while the anti-scratch coating helps lower the chance of obstructive marks for daily use. The lenses are also shatter-resistant to protect your eyes from impacts or high-speed projectiles.

“We’ve always been in the business of helping our customers see the world better, and now we’re taking that vision to a whole new level,” said Joe Hamilton, Vortex CEO. “This new eyewear category embodies the same commitment to quality, affordability, and customer satisfaction that has made us an industry leader in sport optics. And, backed by our legendary VIP Warranty, we guarantee to protect your eyewear for life.”

The Vortex sunglasses offer a lightweight and flexible design aimed at keeping you comfortable during all-day wear without strain. They include a non-slip bridge and temple pieces to keep them in place. As with many sunglasses and shooting glasses, the Vortex options offer 100% UV protection with an anti-reflective and smudge-resistant coating to reduce unnecessary reflections and blemishes.

The Banshee model is said to be comfortable enough for town visits but still withstand unexpected ricochets on the range, keeping your eyes protected in all scenarios. The Jackal model offers a go-anywhere style with the protection you need from start to finish. With a lifetime VIP Warranty from Vortex, the Banshee and the Jackal provide a casual look with the protection and quality you’d expect from the Vortex name. Both models are available with Smoke or Amber lenses and Black frames, while the Jackal shows an option for Blue Smoke lenses on the website. The Vortex sunglasses are available now with an MSRP of $179.99.
