Revisiting 40 S&W & the First-Gen M&P

The current line of Smith and Wesson's striker-fired pistols, the M&P line, are phenomenal in many aspects. With this video, I dig into the lineage of the current line, by rediscovering the first generation of the "Military & Police" line from Big Blue. In the process, I rethink just why 40 S&W is no longer as popular, and reassess the value of the cartridge. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This channel, LeonTheNonProfessional, exists as a place to chronicle authentic, real-life experiences, and to document one man's journey, on the quest for better self-reliance, self-sufficiency, and self-defense.
