Guns.com and Smith & Wesson have teamed up to launch a special auction benefitting the Second Amendment Foundation's (SAF) critical work to defend, secure and restore the Second Amendment rights of Americans across the country. The collaborative auction begins today.

"Guns.com is proud to partner with Smith & Wesson on this benefit auction to support the Second Amendment Foundation," said Guns.com Brand Manager David Conlan. "SAF is a proven and trusted partner in defending, restoring, and expanding our Second Amendment rights. We are thankful for their tireless efforts fighting in courtrooms across our nation for our right to keep and bear arms."

The exclusive collaboration offers a one-of-a-kind Smith & Wesson collector's edition 1854 rifle and Model 29 revolver set with proceeds benefitting SAF's legal initiatives. Hosted through Guns.com's new Auctions platform, the auction starts today and ends on March 23.

"Smith & Wesson is proud to partner with Guns.com and the Second Amendment Foundation for this auction, supporting an essential mission," said Smith & Wesson Vice President of Marketing Kyle Tengwall. "Our mutual commitment to safeguarding the Second Amendment rights of Americans drives this collaboration, and we greatly appreciate SAF's significant contributions through education and legal advocacy."

Only 100 of the commemorative sets with the 1854 rifles packaged with a matching Model 29 revolver have been created. Both the 1854 rifle and Model 29 handgun have been engraved and embellished by famed customization house Baron Engraving. The design is inlaid with 22-karat gold, and the 1854 and Model 29 share complementary designs.

"Full Second Amendment freedoms for citizens across the country is a reality SAF fights to achieve each and every day," said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. "Unfortunately, there are those who feel the Second Amendment is a second-class right and our mission is to combat these idealogues at every turn. It's refreshing to know SAF has companies like Guns.com and Smith & Wesson in our corner as we continue to fight those who wish to infringe on our constitutional rights."
