Re: I Saw This New Firearm!

Missed a point when I was typing that out. My issue with S&W is primarily their new revolvers. Never had any trouble with their polymer autos. Really haven't had much trouble with their early wondernines, for that matter. Weirdly, I think Ruger may be bucking the trend. Their steel offerings strike ...

Re: Any interest in resurrecting the old Art section?

They really need to bring back the seven serpents. But not just bring them back; update them. Put them out there as the highest quality wheel guns in the modern market. That'll get their name back on the boards. I would agree, which means this won't happen. As we've seen entirely too often in the f...

Re: I Saw This New Firearm!

So far as I see it, Colt made two critical missteps. First, they pretty well threw the civil market the bird on account of their military contracts for the M16 and M4 family. Commercial sales were the icing on a rich government cake. An incidental effect was that management nuked some of their flags...
