The company has its corporate headquarters located at Springfield, Massachusetts. The company Smith & Wesson firearms is especially known for the different types of ammunition it has introduced and foe the technical knowledge it has in the field of revolvers. No one beats them in it. The company was started in the year 1852 by the two partners Smith & Wesson (Horace Smith & Daniel B Wesson) and produced a lever action pistol called ‘Volcanic’. At that time the name of the company was Volcanic Repeating Arms Company which later came under the ownership of investor Oliver Winchester for financial difficulties. Both the founder partners moved on to start a new company with a newly designed revolver and cartridge combination. After five years of the starting the production the American Civil war produced a great demand for Smith & Wesson products. The company went through a tough time in the middle of 1980s when the US police forces started adopting newer and better semiautomatic pistol instead of revolvers that were in used so far and were produced by Smith & Wesson firearms.

On the top of it the semi-automatic variants from S&W could not impress the users and handlers till the middle of 1990s. At this time other manufacturers of semi automatic handguns made good profit and included GLOCK and Beretta. Later from 1996 to 2001 Tomkins plc, a UK based company, owned and operated Smith & Wesson. As more and more companies join the market and lowering down their prices in order to get the market share for themselves the firearms have become cheaper and with in approach of everyone who wants to have one. This situation is not a good news for the police departments all over the US because more weapons are their to keep a vigil upon for their correct or illegal and criminal use. Also such a situation gives rise to the cases of accidental injuries and deaths due to mishandling and misuse of firearms, which again is not at all is a positive sign, Therefore we stand by with our police and law enforcement authorities and request you all to use firearms under a strict code of conduct to avoid any such incidents.
