First the 1911, now the PPK. Looks like the new S&W wants to become a one stop shop.
Wonder when they will produce a single action?

I was kind of wondering why they aren't making any attempt to get into the Single Action stuff as well. Colt is making money at it, and SASS is apparently doing rather well. Colt and S&W were the big two when it came to the Old West.
Then again, I have a bit of Cowboy Action bias here.

Its a lovely design, but with the 380 in single stack is a bit dated. There are 9mm's of that size out there,,,Khar's. For a cheaper smaller 380 look at the Kel-Tec. But nevertheless, I sure would like to have one, two, etc. New a guy who every time he bought a gun he would buy two of them. One to use and one just to have. LOL /p>

Let S and W bring back the Schofield. The prices Navy Arms are charging for their repro are ridiculous!

Maybe. With todays modern steels it is perfectly possible to build an exact reproduction of the Colt single action that could handle the pressure of Buffalo Bore loads or be chambered for .454 Cassul without going to the Ruger Fatboy design.

Then again, I have a bit of Cowboy Action bias here. I'm with you on that, and have a pair of Ruger Bisley Vaqueros in .357. My carry gun is a Sig P232 in stainless.

I prefer Sig P232 myselfMe too. See my last post. The Sig is much more reliable feeding JHPs.

Beautiful firearm. The single action would be real nice, even worth buying maybe....How is an SA going to work chambering and firing .380 ACP cartridges?
