Smith & Wesson reports earnings slump, but sees firearms market as ‘steady’

There are. But they are not SW or Ruger.

Lol who? I'm talking DA revolvers btw. There's a pretty big gap in the market right now because S&W and Ruger both know that 50% of the people buy their revolvers will never actually fire them.

I thought that when they announced it the idea was at first to move the AR15 production from MA and eventually all long guns in TN, I would imagine that they are done with this. If they moved hand gun production out of MA, it would be a big kick in the groin for Western MA. The interesting thing though is when S&W laid off hundreds of employees and contractors, no politician lifted a finger to help. That will be the fate of everyone else working there.

A MA politician's response would be, 'learn to code, bruh.' Colt also had a round of layoffs within the last month or so. CZ is quickly realizing what they bought.
