Julie Golob and S&W Go Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
2-Oct-08 – 10:53 by ToddG
To kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Smith & Wesson has issued a press release about the new M&P9 JG. The JG gun is named for Julie Golob (better known as Julie Goloski), one of Smith’s Champion Shooters and their Consumer Program Manager. Julie worked very hard for many months to bring this project to fruition. A portion of the proceeds from each pistol (the portion that normally would have gone in Julie’s pocketbook, since her name is on the gun) goes to a breast cancer awareness charity.
The M&P9 JG is a full size Military & Police in 9×19mm. It comes with a Warren Tactical rear sight, fiber optic front sight, two pink grip inserts (in addition to the standard three black ones), and a breast cancer Awareness Ribbon engraved on the slide.

Great cause. My mom is a survivor.

Terry — The JG gun is available to any S&W dealer, or to any other dealer who buys through a distributor. Both of the gun shops I’ve visited over the past week have had a JG gun on the shelf.
