Smith & Wesson, Brownells Team Up on a Dream Gun

b>Brownells, Smith & Wesson Team Up to Make "The All American Dream Gun"
Brownells and Smith & Wesson have collaborated to create a highly-customized, America-themed version of the Smith & Wesson M&P® M2.0™ pistol.
GRINNELL, Iowa  – Brownells and Smith & Wesson® – two legendary American firearm industry companies – have teamed up to create "The All American Dream Gun."

Designed to show off each company's strength – the legendary firearms built by Smith & Wesson, and the extensive selection of firearm accessories from Brownells – The All American Dream Gun boasts the very best in American firearm innovation and creativity.

Because the M&P M2.0 pistol features a new and improved trigger, the mechanism itself was left alone. Brownells built upon those improvements by simply replacing the trigger shoe with an http://BrownellsInc.pr-optout.com/Tracking.aspx?Data%3DHHL%253d8-3%252f%25405-%253eLCE18083%253a2-GLCE17.6%26RE%3DMC%26RI%3D4214928%26Preview%3DFalse%26DistributionActionID%3D17604%26Action%3DFollow%2BLink&source=gmail&ust=1484354958017000&usg=AFQjCNH5x2VwjUTq-jkxNXxhGRKrypGkGA">Apex Tactical Specialties AEK trigger to aid in consistent trigger pull.

Brownells wanted to help shooters make the most of the M&P M2.0 pistol's improved trigger and enhanced grip texture by adding a sighting system conducive to fast target acquisition. To accomplish this, Brownells adapted the slide to accept a http://BrownellsInc.pr-optout.com/Tracking.aspx?Data%3DHHL%253d8-3%252f%25405-%253eLCE18083%253a2-GLCE17.6%26RE%3DMC%26RI%3D4214928%26Preview%3DFalse%26DistributionActionID%3D17603%26Action%3DFollow%2BLink&source=gmail&ust=1484354958017000&usg=AFQjCNEyCAzzEYBrUhIs41jy85qZ14wSMg">Trijicon RMR LED sight with a 6.5 MOA red dot.

To quiet the bark of the new Smith & Wesson pistol, Brownells replaced the factory barrel with an Apex Tactical Specialties 4.25" Drop-In Threaded barrel to accommodate the GEMTECH Lunar-45 Suppressor.

Finally, Brownells asked the pros at http://BrownellsInc.pr-optout.com/Tracking.aspx?Data%3DHHL%253d8-3%252f%25405-%253eLCE18083%253a2-GLCE17.6%26RE%3DMC%26RI%3D4214928%26Preview%3DFalse%26DistributionActionID%3D17602%26Action%3DFollow%2BLink&source=gmail&ust=1484354958017000&usg=AFQjCNFE_g-d_WlosM8cbtnJCBewns0P5A">Battle Arms Development to bathe the black M&P M2.0 pistol in the colors and pattern of "Old Glory" to signify this uniquely American project.

"The All American Dream Gun is a tribute to the great American spirit of freedom and independence," said Pete Brownell, CEO of Brownells. "As America heads in the right direction, it only seems right that two American companies – Brownells and Smith & Wesson – team up on a project like this one. We're very proud of this firearm and we invite folks to come by our booths at trade shows to check it out."

Matt Buckingham, President of Smith & Wesson Firearms said, "Personalizing firearms is an exciting aspect of firearms ownership. We were happy to provide Brownells with the opportunity to see the M&P M2.0 pistol early and allow their creative genius to take over."

The All American Dream Gun can be viewed at SHOT Show Range Day in the Smith & Wesson booth, on the floor at SHOT Show 2017 in the Brownells booth (#13018) and throughout 2017 at various industry shows and events.
