That was when S&W was under a British firm. They have since been sold and is, as their advertisements say, "American made, American Owned". I'll certainly buy another pistol from them when I get the urge.
BUMP!
Yeah, the Brits that owned it then sold it to a completely different set of people.
SO9
Yes. They ended their Brit captivity and were sold to good Americans. The Clintonoid stain of ignominy has been cleansed from their escutcheon.
DUDE! You were freepin' before JimRob! You must be the longest freeper I've ever run across.
Courtesy bump.
Nice muzzlebrake on the end of that monster.
Oooooh ! I gotta git me one. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Dadburn squirrels are gittin' pesky.
Jes touch it off in the gen'ral vicinity, an' the muzzle blast'll do em in.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Wonder if I could handload that sucker for a smidge more performance............
Go to the Sporting Goods store and get a set of the linen wraps worn by boxers under bag gloves for working out on the heavy bag. They stop the wrist and hand bones from being compressed and moved out by recoil of a pistol just as well as by recoil of a punch.
Then go to the baseball department and get a pair of batting gloves with the fingers cut out. They and the wraps will stop skin splitting if they are snug.
You will be good to go until the recoil gets heavy enough to damage your elbows.

No, I think Jim's got me beat by a few days. I think I'm actually #196, but I sure feel old.
Hand-Cannon Bang!
.454 Casull for a lighter load!!!!
Smith makes a short barreled lightweight titanium .44 Mag.
That seemed improbable.
I wonder how long till we get a featherweigh concealed carry version of this?

"You will be good to go until the recoil gets heavy enough to damage your elbows."
LOL! That's funny!
KA BOOM!
haha......that's what stand out for me......saying a 454 Cassul is a light load.........WOW.........my aching wrists and forehead............LOL
some of these handguns are so huge now I wonder if it probably better just to have a short barreled Marlin in a .444 or 450.......I never shot anything more than a .44 mag in Super Balckhawk and don't really want to.....whoa. Rather have a lever action....maybe 45-70 to take care of matters.
Here's a Ruger that comes in .45 Colt/.454 Casull or .480 Ruger. 1.75" Barrel. "Pocket Sized" for keeping bears away while dressing your game.
