The Montana Highway Patrol (MHP) has selected the Smith & Wesson M&P15 SBR platform and Gemtech Abyss as its patrol rifle and suppressor of choice, respectively. Officers from the law enforcement agency are already issued M&P9 M2.0s as their primary duty pistol.

“This year, 2025, marks the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Montana Highway Patrol,” said Maj. Chan Barry, Montana Highway Patrol operations commander. “For most of those years our Patrolmen, now Troopers, were armed with a Smith & Wesson revolver or pistol. In addition to the Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 that our Troopers carry on their person, we have recently selected Smith & Wesson to replace our aging patrol rifles. We look forward to continuing the excellent relationship we’ve developed with this American company and truly appreciate the reliability of their firearms and the customer service they provide.”

For more than a century, Smith & Wesson firearms have been a trusted platform for law enforcement and military agencies around the globe. The contracts reflect a partnership between the company and the community, highlighting Smith & Wesson’s dedication to supporting those who selflessly serve and protect.

“Smith & Wesson takes pride in continuing the long-standing tradition of partnership with the Montana State Patrol, which has spanned many decades,” said Mark Smith, Smith & Wesson president & CEO. “Their ongoing use of our products, along with their inherent trust in our brand and after-sales support, stands as the highest form of endorsement. We are honored to serve as the standard patrol rifle and suppressor for the Montana State Patrol and look forward to many more years of this esteemed relationship.”

MHP was founded in 1935. Today it has nearly 250 troopers patrolling, protecting and serving the state’s roughly 1.2 million residents—and tourists visiting the state’s scenic sites like Yellowstone National Park—across 147,165 square miles.
