MARYVILLE, TN - Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, is proud to announce a continued partnership with the Montana Highway Patrol.

The Montana Highway Patrol (MHP) has once again chosen Smith & Wesson to enhance its operational capabilities. While the MHP continues to utilize the M&P®9 M2.0® as their primary duty pistol, they have now decided to select the Smith & Wesson M&P15 SBR platform as their patrol rifle of choice as well as the Gemtech® Abyss® models for their suppressor of choice.

“This year, 2025, marks the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Montana Highway Patrol. For most of those years our Patrolmen, now Troopers, were armed with a Smith & Wesson revolver or pistol. In addition to the Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 that our Troopers carry on their person, we have recently selected Smith & Wesson to replace our aging patrol rifles. We look forward to continuing the excellent relationship we’ve developed with this American company and truly appreciate the reliability of their firearms and the customer service they provide,” said Major Chan Barry, Operations Commander, Montana Highway Patrol.

For over a century, Smith & Wesson firearms have been a trusted platform for law enforcement and military agencies around the globe, reflecting our commitment to quality, performance, and durability. These contracts mark an important partnership between the company and the community, highlighting Smith & Wesson's dedication to supporting those who selflessly serve and protect.

“Smith & Wesson takes pride in continuing the long-standing tradition of partnership with the Montana State Patrol, which has spanned many decades. Their ongoing use of our products, along with their inherent trust in our brand and after-sales support, stands as the highest form of endorsement. We are honored to serve as the standard patrol rifle and suppressor for the Montana State Patrol and look forward to many more years of this esteemed relationship," said Mark Smith, President & CEO.
