(NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, announced today the release of four TN Special Makeup pistols from the M&amp;P9 M2.0 and Shield Plus series.<\/p>\n<p>This new offering includes two 3.1-inch barrel M&amp;P9 Shield Plus micro-compacts with and without a thumb safety, a 4-inch barrel M&amp;P9 M2.0 compact with a thumb safety, and a 4.25-inch barrel M&amp;P9 M2.0 full-size, also with a thumb safety. In recognition of the company\u2019s historic move to Tennessee, these new handguns display a laser engraved Tri-Star emblem on the barrel, paying homage to the state flag and its representation of the three Grand Divisions: West, Middle, and East Tennessee.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1345007\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/unnamed-3.png\" alt=\"S&amp;W Debuts Tennessee Special M&amp;P9 M2.0 and Shield Plus Pistols\" width=\"600\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/unnamed-3.png 600w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/unnamed-3-390x154.png 390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\/><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cM&amp;P striker-fired pistols have remained a cornerstone of Smith &amp; Wesson\u2019s legacy over the years and embody our brand\u2019s ethos of reliability, performance, and durability.
