But they did grab their ankles pretty quick.

I would have preferred that they had chosen death with dignity to acceptance of the position of Clinton-Administration butt-boy #1.

As it is, S&W has pretty much become exclusively an armorer of police and military personnel.

There is just something about a Kimber that no other
can do. Customized outta the box.

S&W is going broke anyhow. Doubt it? It's competing against a huge glut of barely-used S&W guns from the company's best years. Yesterday at a show, a dealer quoted me $450 for a brand-new-looking Model 29 (6.5" barrel) he had; why would anyone pay more for a new S&W .44 Magnum - when their guns from that era are much better?

Even before the sellout, S&W's quality was far below their "classic" years of the mid-70s, and there's now a glut of very-attractively-priced, barely-used S&Ws from that era at every show.

"Is the boycott still on?"

Was it ever off? For this gun owner, no more S&W--ever--for any reason. I don't care if they sell themselves to the NRA and cure cancer.

"For this gun owner, no more S&W--ever--for any reason. I don't care if they sell themselves to the NRA and cure cancer. "

For me, if they actually did get out of the agreement it would probably be enough. I'd love it if the NRA or GOA actually did buy the company. Its a historical American gunmaker, and it would be great if some of the profits were funneled to 2nd A. causes. I'd go out and buy a couple of S & W's...
