So, you thought the days of Flat Dark Earth were behind us? Not so fast, hot shot. I have recently fallen back in love with FDE guns and gear, building an AR15 in complete earthen glory. And I must not be the only one: Smith & Wesson just announced their newest edition to the M&P 2.0 lineup: an M&P45 in FDE. Besides sporting Flat Dark Earth dress, the new release features TRUGLO TFX sights. Pricing starts at $699.
