New Research Survey Shows S&W Get Top Handgun Honors
Southwick Associates a leading research firm specializing in hunting, shooting, angling, and wildlife economics – just released its report on the top hunting and shooting-related brands for last year. Some of the results are surprising, but many of the usual suspects continue to be the top brand in their field.
Certainly there will be much contention in naming Smith & Wesson as the top Handgun Brand in 2014. Springfield had a pretty big year with their Mod 2, and Glock continued to elate their fans with new versions of their popular guns in 2014 as well. However, Smith & Wesson’s M&P Shield has been a huge success this past year and looks to have edged them both out.
