Yahoo Finance ^

The gunmaker posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.62 and revenue totaling $207 million. Analysts had forecast that it earned $0.54 in adjusted EPS, and revenue of $198.3 million, according to Bloomberg.

It’s a real statement.

S & W stock has turned out to be one of our better investments.

Gun sales are going up because no matter which side wins the Presidential election the other side will call for revolution.

Ah, the L frame 44 mag. I think these are beefed up now after the silhouette shooters destroyed them.

Must be nice with the smaller grips. Nice gun.

The L frame 686 is a cherry too.

I've mostly always shot single action, even with my model 36's. But at the range I shot the 69 half the time double action.

I was impressed at how smooth its double action pull was and my groups didn't enlarge much at all.

If you haven’t maxed out the capacity of your gun safe by 2009 you’ve made a serious mistake. Didn’t you recognized these were the new world Nazi fascists moving into the executive branch?

I’m sure you do! If I thought otherwise I’d not have bothered re-reading it.

I am psyched to get back to the range and try out an MP9c. Who can tell me the good and bad?
