u Springfield Armory introduced their slim XD-S in 9mm. u The M&P10; from Smith & Wesson is a 308 Win version of their popular M&P15; rifle. SPRINGFIELD ARMORY www.springfield-armory.com Last year, Springfeld Armory surprised everyone with their XD-S pistol in 45 ACP. The super fat and compact pistol was a big hit because it wasn���t chambered for the expected 9mm cartridge. This year, the Illinois gunmaker came out with the XD-S chambered in 9mm. The softer shooting pistol carries just as fat as the 45 ACP version and is an excellent choice for concealed carry. u A new scandium frame 1911 45 ACP pistol from S&W;���s Performance Center has lightening cuts on its slide. SMITH & WESSON www.smith-wesson.com An M&P10; rife is now offered in 7.62x51 (308 Win) for police offcers needing that 30 caliber punch. Various confgurations similar to S&W;���s extensive line of M&P15; 5.56 (223 Rem) rifes will be forthcoming. The M&P10; handled similarly to the AR-15 rife we all know, without much added bulk due to the slightly larger magazine well. S&W;���s Performance Center had a new Commander size 1911 45 ACP with a Scandium lightweight frame, bobtailed mainspring housing, and lightening cuts on the slide. This extremely light pistol conceals well due to its shorter barrel/slide and the sliced-off butt corner. With its hand tuned trigger and low-profle night sights, it proved quite accurate. www.lawandordermag.com 59
