Tell that to the revolver line, they can't make them fast enough.Smith & Wesson sales off by 47% as buyers get tired of them producing guns no one wants or asked for
There, cleaned that up a bit for them
All of my Smiths, save one (422), are revolvers.Tell that to the revolver line, they can't make them fast enough.
Kind'a makes my point though Maybe spend more production time on revolvers and less on KelTech nock offs and pointless variations to the pistol line.Tell that to the revolver line, they can't make them fast enough.
Agreed!Kind'a makes my point though Maybe spend more production time on revolvers and less on KelTech nock offs and pointless variations to the pistol line.
They're YEARS late to that party.And IF they are going come out with something new, maybe a PCC that takes M&P mags?
But they still have a chance to beat GlockThey're YEARS late to that party.
Smith & Wesson has been neglecting revolver production for many years. Simply because demand across their market (which includes law enforcement sales) has favored their semi auto pistol product. Pistols are typically easier to manufacture and generate more profit per unit. In the past decade, revolver production has been approximately 20-25% of their production. The Covid era problems may have dipped revolver production lower. Combined with 2020 panic buying, you might find the answer to be found in higher demand for revolver product at a time when supplies were low. Smith & Wesson still offers a pretty extensive catalog of revolver product, and I can imagine that keeping them all available for distribution would be a challenge. Just now, I checked Gunbroker and there are scads of new Smith & Wesson revolvers on offer there.Tell that to the revolver line, they can't make them fast enough.
Unfortunately, I have to agree. The last few new Smith & Wesson revolvers that I bought all came complete with nagging quality issues. In spite of being made on modern CNC production process. Which supposedly lowers the probability of human error in manufacturing. Yet introduces new avenues of error.I love LOVE LOVE my s&w revolvers, especially J and K frames, but I will not buy one online because I had too many issues with their QC, and what they allow out of the door.
The Equalizer is truly the bastard hybrid child. Gawd-awful.Agreed!
"EQUALIZER"
Jesus.
Let alone the word EQUALIZER in huge bold letters on the slide.The Equalizer is truly the bastard hybrid child. Gawd-awful.
But this is just my opinion.
GRIP ZONE was worse. And frankly, the P365 with the worst, most eye rolling name I've heard in a long time.Let alone the word EQUALIZER in huge bold letters on the slide.
Oh I agree. Why do these manufacturers feel the need to gimmick up their products?GRIP ZONE was worse. And frankly, the P365 with the worst, most eye rolling name I've heard in a long time.
