Stick with a company that has stood firm through the years, like Ruger. Smith and Wesson has got lots of 'splaining to do.
Actually, ruger hasn't really stood firm. Bill ruger was the one who initally brought up the idea to ban high-cap magazines around 1989 in order to protect his rifles from being banned (and to protect his handguns from the then-new glock wonder 9's being introduced).
Ruger, S&W and now glock have all done different things to protect themselves but in the process showed a willingness to screw gun owners and the 2nd amendment.
Oh, and add olympic arms to the list for introducing a .223 pistol which lead to the banning of .223 AP ammo - even when they were warned by the gun community of the consequences!
