In January, I attended my 10th SHOT Show. Each year I always seem to leave the show with a couple of interesting items test and evaluate for personal or professional use.
One of my favorite items from this year’s show was the Night Ops Weapons Light, a compact and versatile light designed to be mounted on the utility rail of a pistol, rifle, or shotgun.

Last May, I had the opportunity to shoot the Smith & Wesson M&P pistol for the first time. The guns were brought to the Valhalla Training Center by Chuck Buis of Blackhawk Products Group to be used in a Serpa CQC Holster demonstration that he was giving to some visitors from the press.
As part of that event, I was able to spend some time getting to know the pistol. I liked it a lot. And ever since, we have had six M&Ps that have served as the primary range guns at Valhalla. They have performed very, very well.
