Smith and Wesson Boycott

[Paris]

I could care less what happens to that company. As far as I'm concerned they went out of business already.

Then by all means, care less.

The rest of us will continue to purchase and enjoy their products.

Life is too short and all that.

I care less about the so called lock. Its the lesser quality of the pistols. I dislike. The 2 piece barrels and terrible rough MIM trigger parts. No Thanks I buy only older S&W I find good used ones for same or less than new and their much better made. I just bought a 1955 J frame 3 inch couple months back Nice bluing which Smith no longer does. Way better made than new ones. and I bought it a little cheaper .

I will keep buying the old ones . Their a zillion out their at good prices. But then I prefer the original early Mustangs to these over priced plastic ones of today.

nm.

With all respect, what does nm mean? Nevermore? As in "Quoth the Raven"?

I like the Smiths I own.....but I WONT buy anymore....I have gone Ruger all the way on the revolvers now.

 

[Super Sneaky Steve]

I think Ruger makes a sturdy revolver that meets my needs and at a much better price. I haven't boycotted Smith but good ol' capitalism means they would have to do a lot to earn my business back.

IMHO, all the boycott did was drive up the price of pre-lock S&W's. Smith and Wesson is still in business still selling most of the handguns they produce, and still making money.

As my revolver interests are mainly the pre. 1980, versions I would be surprised if I were to buy a new S&W. If I were in the market for a NEW revolver my first choice would be a Smith lock or not.
