"Strickly"?

Anyway, what kind of handgun are you looking for?  You can spend $75 and get a Jennings or $3000 and get an Ed Brown.  I know "buy American" is great, but I wouldn't let that be the ONLY factor in getting a gun.  I mean Sig and CZ are fantastic guns too.

So if your Dad made a mistake, are you to be punished for it years later? The idiot Brit owners who went into this Devil's pact are no longer owning S&W, why continue to punish them?

No, but S&W still leaves a bad taste because of that brit owner. Who ownes S&W now, you can't say for sure the Brits don't have some interests under the table. I'm American and want to buy a gun that's American made and has no oversaeas interests.Period.

Don't let the Smith thing ruin a good purchase.  The 1911 I got from them is great...

Your probably correct about the Smith&Wesson thing. I'm still not fond of Jane Fonda for what she did during VietNam.

S&W is publically traded, they have to list who owns what, IIRC. But hey, if you want to have your little conspiracy theory going, have at it, sir.

Fonda is still a nitwit.  Smith and Wesson is a whole different company.  They are turning out some beautiful products these days.

Thats not even the same damn thing.  Making a statement as dubious as that is absolutely ridiculous and infantile to say the least.  Do you own any Ruger firearms?  If you do then you just bought a firearm that used to owned by "the man" who almost single handedly brought about the AWB.......sheesh get gripe on reality.  If you go with a Kimber, rest assured late at night that you have a high probablity that some of the parts are from S&W.  Get a Springfield Armory.....oh wait they're made in Brazil.....Get a Colt oh wait they donated to Charles Shummer......well there is always Dan Wesson but isn't he related to folks that sold their company to the Brits????  Well I guess you could always just settle on a Jenssen....

I've not heard of this. Since Colt is in CT & Schumer is in NY, why would they do so? What's your source for this info, please?
