SupFoo: Not at all sure what YOUR take is on this news/article as YOU don't say.
My take is, hard times, inflation and thosefuckin "J" lock "hillary holes" on the sides of their revolvers!
I know I wouldn't even consider buying a hillary holed Smith & Wesson revolver these days.
And I notice the hillary holed revolvers by Smith & Wesson "sit" on the shelves WAY, WAY longer than their comparable predecessors did without the hillary hole.
My local gunshop has a "hillary holed" ANIB Smith & Wesson Model 48 (22 Magnum) with 6" barrel that has been sitting on the shelf most all of this year and no one has even made an offer on it! Maybe it does not help that the Model 48's barrel is factory stamped/marked "45 Long Colt"?
Like "Tzone" above I much prefer and will stick to the "cool old used stuff".
