S&W is now in American hands again, and the new S&W company is correcting the b/s of when it was British owned.

have not been mad at them since Saf -T- Hammer of Arizona bought them. They had nothing to do with the former agreement and should not be punished for it. I've been telling people this for a year now, but some people carry sensless grudges for awhile.

I got my SW back in the old days. So I was never burned up, upset, but now that they are under new management I might buy from them again.

Nope, not me. S&W is once again an American Legend.

However, ya gotta keep an eye on Ruger.....and despite what I think of Taurus Firearms and how good their guns are, and how great it is they give a free year in the NRA to anyone who purchases their guns, I have to wonder why they are working on a smart gun?

I'm not so sure Taurus will ever come out with a "smart gun". I think it may be a red herring.

I'm certainly a S&W fan, but the scoop is they are in financial trouble.
Everyone needs to go buy another Smith.

Cause I don't like tiny pistols. Gimme a mid-size or a full compact, even for CCW. Heck, a full size 1911 is a good choice too.
