S&W can take their share of the blame. Their guns are consistently at the top of price heap when comparing apples to apples.
Also, I have no desire to buy something "new." Most of the current guns are uninteresting. Springfield's new rifle turns my crank a bit. I'd like to see some new Remington's and I want to fill my safe with Kimber Montana's.
I'll stick to cool old used stuff for the time being.

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".

why buy a gun you cant get ammo for it and the price is crazy but it is improving....
anything they make new will not be out for months if not years before actually hitting the market
there are a lot of companies profits that will be down compared to the last two years...

When I look at buying a S&W revolver the prices are twice what I think they are worth.

Strum, Ruger special dividend implies a dividend yield, by itself, of 8.4%
Shares of Sturm, Ruger & Co. rallied toward a four-month high Thursday, after the firearm maker said it would pay a special dividend of $5 a share.

Reckon sales had much to do with stimulus checks?
Now there is no stimulus checks, and the inflation that follows. This.....

This story is the rule rather than the exception. That makes it dumb to report on. But what’s new?

Maybe as sales drop…..they’ll start producing what I’m look’n for, instead of focusing on semi-autos. Sure would like to find a 5” 460 XVR………that I can afford! 😉 memtb

I'm a big S&W fan, but prices have gotten out of hand. When you can buy the new Colt .22 King Cobra for right at $1K, the S&W 41s are only available in the Performance shop models at around $1600 +.... make pricing a bit more reasonable and I'm betting their product would sell. And this doesn't mention the fact S&W had very little product on the shelf the last couple years while they were reorganizing.... I'm just wondering when things will return to some semblance of normal again... if ever

I tried to do my part in 2022. Pretty sure I'm done with revolvers for now. Next on the list is one of those new Marlins in 45-70. ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/e78/montanasam/20221208_154836.jpg)

Holy chit man, $2700? Crazy high. I see the Guide(brown lam) and Scout(grey/black lam) models are in the $1400-1500 range on gunbroker. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/960697210And I'm not buying anything right now, just day dreaming.

Money that might have gone to another gun are now going for food, medication, energy, and other essentials, in reaction to massive inflation. Yep. Not to mention all the money folks lost in the stock market caused by Lying Hiden Biden’s Administration intentionally destroying America’s Economy. When the Economy is good, folks spend more on recreational “toys”. When Inflation hits 30 to 40 percent, not 8% like the lying POS’s claim, there’s no extra income to spend for non necessities. And many people, the smart ones, anyways, stocked up on Guns, Ammo, and reloading supplies when the DemoRat’s stole the Election, and installed the Puppet Pedo Joe. And others stocked up on weaponry when the Scamdemic hit. You’re really gonna show them all by constant Internet whining. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/CMmMQdxP/81e968dc0923e38d720bec9c2a31f4e8--al-franken-daily-affirmations.jpg) One again, you prove you’re nothing more than a irrelevant ankle biting idiot with a severe Man Crush and a chronic case of Little Man Syndrome. But no one needs me to point it out. You’re doing a great job all by your lonesome. You go Shorty. 😂😂😂
