The gunmaker had been located in Springfield, Massachusetts, since the mid-19th century, but company officials have said legislative proposals in that state would prohibit them from manufacturing certain weapons. Massachusetts is known to have some of the country’s strictest gun laws.Smart move.

Over the past few years, several gun manufacturing companies have moved to the south and set up shop in more gun friendly states. They would be foolish not to. Why remain in a state that is working to not only put you out of business, but also criminalize the product you produce?

Yes. I need new grips for my S/W Airweight hammerless, the ones it came with are too big, the Lady Smith is the same size. Smaller grips.

The old HQ was located in Springfield, MA—a city with a horrid ghetto and thugs with guns everywhere.
The employees are probably thrilled to get out of there.

Yep, Glock moved to Smyrna, GA and Beretta moved to Gallatin, TN. Kimber moved to Troy, AL and Troy Industries moved to Clarksville, TN.

Tennessee has that certain, Smith and Wesson-ality! The late, great Florence Henderson agrees.
From her last role in 2017's "Bad Grandmas".
(Before anyone pipes up I know that's not an S&W.)
It wouldn't surprise me if Tennessee is likely targeted by the BATF for excessive gun company collecting.
