Smith needs to make their version of an AK47, make up for the lost inventory from Russia.
This is exactly my thoughts, they can have CIA distribute them.Yeah, I'm sure that will be a stellar product from S&W.

Short it down to the 52 week low, cover, then buy.
I sold out of it to a hefty profit a few months ago.
This can only be a direct result of all the plastic and P.O.S. pocket style mouse guns they came out with. I know some folks just can't admit it but A P.O. S. At any price is still crap!
There are several that come to mind and there is always a page full of them right here on NES.
They all say the same, " perfect like new condition with very low round count" blah blah blah.
The round count is low because it sucked total ass from the first round you fired. LOL!
S&W has had those locks on their revolvers for many years now, and I simply don't see that being the cause of declining sales. Do you have a cite for the lock activating when it wasn't supposed to? I have a 4" S&W 500 and I shoot full power loads through it, and it has never locked on me.

S&W may have a falling off in sales due to their failures with their trigger locking system and putting them out on their revolvers.
OK, so some cases. But out of how many thousands of guns? What is the incidence rate?
Don't take this as pro-lock. I think they're useless and stupid, and I purposely bought a J-frame that didn't have one. But I hardly think that the lock can be attributable to this recent decline in sales, as the poster I was replying to was suggesting.
But will S&W or CIA bugger up the sights?
No, they have to put their trademark screw job on it.1) I really don't know the incidence rate.
2) I agree with you. S&W starting the lock thing long before the run up in sales and the decline had nothing to do with them.

Could CIA distribute a product without buggering it up in one way or another?
Obama's head would explode if you asked him that.Can I use a EBT card at a gun shop?
Only $40? S&W are pikers. This is how you price a spare magazine like a boss:

$79 for a magazine. HK. Because you suck. And we hate you.
$79?!?!? I can buy pre ban square notch glock mags for less then that! I'll stick to the $20 10 rounders thanks.

As pdm reminded me in a private note, HK magazines are expensive because they are so good you can put the boolits in backwards:
1) I really don't know the incidence rate. If I owned a S&W revolver with the lock (all mine are pre-lock), I'd open up the side plate and take the damn thing out, but that's just me.
The other day a friend of mine was watching some other guy shoot a new .500 at the range and the gun locked up, but the failure didn't appear to be related to the ILS system, because they could still move the lock back and forth, the cylinder just refused to rotate.
Yep. This and this. The world's greatest gun salesman ever has finally pooped out... at least until the next "good crisis" comes along.
I'm still pissed at S&W since they got all cozy with the Clintons around the turn of the Millennium...
They will do it again too when "smart guns" become manditory...
That is awesome…. What a gun it shoots da boolits back wads...
Yes, keep carrying that old bag of shit around, that doesn't even apply to the current ownership. This is like the people complaining about Bill Ruger Sr.... news flash... the guy is dead. And Tomkins PLC hasn't owned S&W since like a quarter of this forum was using diapers.

Ok Mike, maybe "pissed" was a little strong. How about irked?
Yes, I was very unhappy with Bill Ruger and S&W.
I felt that they had sold out to the Administration in order to jockey for the position of
"Government-Approved Gun Makers"
Was I the only one not happy with that situation?
Did you support Bill and the boys at S&W in those olden times?
