I am a Smith & Wesson wheel gun collector and use a M&P45 daily. I love their products for the most part. In my opinion Smith & Wesson should do several things:
1) They should move their business to a right to work, gun friendly state that won’t tax them to death.
2) S&W should do away with the ridiculous internal locks on their revolvers except for the less free states that require them such as California, Illinois and Massachusetts.
3) S&W has done a good job of obtaining the police market with the M&P lineup. Build on that success. Be aggressive for military contracts as well.
I own nine S&W guns, none have this STUPID feature, and I'll never buy a gun from ANYBODY that has this stupid “feature”.
I always say I own “classic” S&Ws. Any as far as the comments about semi-autos, my 10mm (1065 I think is the number) has had several thousand rounds through it without a jam, and has been the last thing several dozen feral hogs ever heard in this life.
