Yeah, our local shop is supposed to have a big S&W day some time in the fall. Like I said, I've never been all that crazy about S&W's, but I do own a 686 .357 that I like pretty well. I also have a Dan Wesson .357 that is nice, but I don't know if S&W was, or still is affiliated with the Dan Wesson models. The Dan Wesson is probably 25 yrs old, and is a nice shooting pistol, but I'm not sure if they're even still around. The new owners are working very hard at getting the customers back, and like you, I think it's time to welcome them back into the fold.

"No sane gun company CEO or board will ever think about selling it's customer base out again..."

Wrong, wrong, and wrong again. There was no way for them to get out of the agreement. Its presently "unenforced". Id bet that some of you were the ones ignoring the boycott anyway.

Because CEOs know that some will go back to their favorite brand regardless of what the company pulls, firearms companies will buckle under future pressure knowing full well that after a brief drop off in demand that they will be back. The only way to teach these companies that we mean business is to drive the offender out. There is no other option.

Its really too bad that a fine company like Safe-T-Hammer got involved but, until they find a way out or get gov to lift the agreement, they can stuff it.

Dan Wesson is a different company from S&W. My understanding is that they are comparable to those of the best days of S&W.
