In November 2006, Smith & Wesson announced that it would re-enter the shotgun market with two new lines of shotguns, the Elite Series and the semi-automatic 1000 Series, unveiled at the 2007 SHOT Show.[3] Both series were manufactured in Turkey.[3]
The Elite Series was offered in two variants:[2]
Smith & Wesson offered the Elite Series with an "Heirloom Warranty" program, a first of its kind in the firearms industry. The warranty provides both the original buyer and the buyer's chosen heir with a lifetime warranty on all Elite Series shotguns.[3]
The 26-inch Silver offering was discontinued in 2008.[4] The entire Elite Series was discontinued by mid-2010.[5][better source needed]
