Smith & Wesson Case Study

Engraving Logos and Serialization with ATF Compliant Methodology

Smith & Wesson is one of the world’s most recognizable brands. They’ve been a partner to law enforcement since the late 1800s, developing crime-fighting tools that set the standard for the field.

Their world-famous .357 Magnum® was developed specifically for law enforcement agencies, and the .38 Special has been adopted as the caliber of choice at one time or another by hundreds of police departments.
