Since 1852 Smith & Wesson has empowered Americans with the freedom, equality, and security promised by the Declaration of Independence and guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.
It is this sense of safety and security that frees us to pursue our goals and dreams, define our future, and fulfill the promise of America.
It was 1852 when Horace Smith and Daniel Baird Wesson made their dream of creating a repeating firearm, using a self-contained cartridge a reality and made history.
Over the next 169 years Smith & Wesson perfected the American sidearm to become one of the world’s most respected brand of firearms.
We are not defined by the products we make. It is the people who make them and the life stories of the empowered Americans who own them.
