The company produced its first profit in three years in 2006 after struggling with rising materials costs and increased competition from Smith & Wesson Holding Corp., maker of the .44 Magnum popularized in the "Dirty Harry" movies.

someone will have to explain how a rifle company is threatened by a handgun company. I'll bet Smith and Wesson is the only company the writer has any knowledge. The hint is the mention of a firearm used in a movie.

Curious, how we see valued such a brick-and-mortar firm vs. Google’s IPO which saw the company worth (on paper) as much as $80 BILLION.

AOL wrote off $54 BILLION Q1 2002.

Yahoo! wrote off $54 Million not too long after that.

The online era’s chant was, ‘Information Just Wants To Be Free.’ But it really didn’t.

It is possible that purveyors to those who seek to maintain and manifest the Second Amendment are being undervalued by the ignorant and apathetic — and acquired on the cheap by some whose loyalty is not American Principles—but power and profit. These could include Soros.

I’m sure nobody noticed; I think their last handgun was a bizarre yet powerful single shot bolt action, the XP-100.
Other than that, they stopped making “normal” pistols during the Great Depression, before WW2.
