Smith Wesson is an American manufacturer of firearms, ammunition and restraints. The corporate headquarters are in Springfield, Massachusetts. Smith Wesson was founded in 1852 and after various corporate changes is now a unit of American Outdoor Brands Corporation.The post-war periods in the 20th century were times of great innovation for the company. In 1935 Smith & Wesson released the Smith & Wesson Model 27 which was the first revolver chambered for .357 Magnum. It was designed as a more powerful handgun for law enforcement officers. The Model 27 started the “Magnum Era” of handguns. The high point was in 1955 when
the company created the Smith Wesson Model 29 in .44 Magnum. Two decades later the Dirty Harry movies made this gun a cultural icon. In 1965 the Wesson family sold its controlling interest in Smith  Wesson to Bangor Punta, a large American conglomerate. Over the next decade Bangor Punta diversified the company’s civilian sales to include related gun products (such as holsters) as well as offering additional police equipment (such as handcuffs and breathalyzers). By the late 1970s these profitable moves made Smith ; Wesson “the envy of the industry” according to Business Week
