The Smith & Wesson M&P15 VTAC: One Year Later
Most gun reviews consist of a short acclimation period, a couple hundred rounds at the range, and a rushed story and photos to meet an editorial deadline. We thought it might be interesting to do a “one year later” review on a gun---just to see how it holds up over time and use. While its release was announced by Smith & Wesson all the way back in their 2009 new products catalog, I picked up an M&P15 VTAC I just under a year and a half ago. It was new-in-box, found in a small stash tucked away in a Smith & Wesson warehouse. Now in its second iteration (the VTAC II), the...
