This M&P 40 from Smith & Wesson has a stainless steel slide, coated in Durable PVD and with a Flat Dark Earth (FDE) finish. The M&P40 VTAC® is a result of Smith & Wesson and Viking Tactics teaming up to upgrade the M&P40 with high-end and high-performance features. The Viking Sights on this pistol were designed specifically for the M&P, and they are unlike any other sights on the market. In the design of the M&P, the needs of military and law enforcement were considered from every conceivable angle. No other polymer pistol offers this combination of versatility, durability and safety. To top it off, the M&P series is covered under Smith & Wesson’s Lifetime Service Policy.
The design of the Viking Sight will enhance your ability to close with and destroy the threat, day or night. The Viking Sight from Viking Tactics, Inc. features a tapered front sight that will draw you immediately to the correct aiming point. This sight is not only tapered for speed, but to help with accuracy at distance when needed. The tapered sight leads to an indestructible fiber optic that will help to drive your focus where it is needed. These sights are extremely fast.
The rear sight notch has also been cut lower than normal to not only enhance speed, but to allow the shooter to see the tritium vials that have been inserted below the fiber optic. The Viking Sight will allow you to have the fine aiming point that you want and need, coupled with fiber optic to help draw your attention. If the sun goes down you are now able to use the tritium that is slightly below the fiber optic.
I got this gun when it came out and took it to a shooting class. Everyone else had 9mm 115 G. I was shooting 180 G for 8 hours and didn't feel tired at the end of the day. We all had to shoot a target at 72 yards. I got up and it took me only 2 shots to hit the target while others were going through 15 round mag. So the 40 I had was great. I still have it by my chair. Love it. TY S&W FOR A GREAT 40C.
