I found this on Gunbroker.com. I hadn't heard about it until today.

Awesome: Performance Center Contenders.

Funny... I thought they bought a sports arena or something.

Pre-'07 TC. Soon to be a collector's gun?

My sister had her late husband's T/C. I don't remember the caliber but it did double duty with a 410 shot shell. I really wanted that gun but she sold it to someone in Santa Cruz where she lived...

Has S&W been forgiven for past transgressions in cooperation with Bill Clinton and Ms. Brady in their assault against gun purchasers?

The front cover of the American Rifleman also shows they're getting into high end shotguns.
It looks like Smith has the "most powerful handgun in the world" under their flag again.

In the 80's Thompson Contender marketed a combo Survival Rifle that I have always lusted for, but I could never find one, especially today (now that I can afford it). It was a synthetic stock and had a pair of barrels both 18 inches long. One was a caliber .223 and one was a .30-30. I always thought that would be a great truck combo to have for trips. It broke down into a nice nondescript rectangular package and had it's own case.

I happened to be poking around on the S&W website yesterday and they already had it there. I thought I'd missed the news...

So now, S&W owns Walther and T/C. Wonder what else they will be aquiring? Good thing I bought stock in them over the summer, along with Ruger. I wish some of the other gun companies would go public so that I can buy thier stock also.

Smith and Wesson to buy Thompson Center From the title I thought they were buying an arena. Could you imagine if an arena was called "Smith and Wesson Center."

Uh-oh. Look for contenders to get lower in quality, like S&W revolvers over the last 50 years.
To: sig226
I will never buy anything Smith and Wesson ever again. After kissing the buttocks of the left. I will never forget that one.
