In 2000 Smith & Wesson made an agreement with the Clinton Administration that basically threw all RKBA supporters under the proverbial bus.
As a result, I promised myself that i would never let the Smith & Wesson brand into my house again.
Yes, I'm well aware that as a result of their treachery, the British holding company that owned the Smith & Wesson brand at the time of the agreement nearly went bankrupt, and sold the brand to its present owners, who had no connection with the agreement.
If you were, lets say, ill advised enough to buy a derelict filling station that sat on top of rotting steel petroleum storage tanks, you would have also bought the existing pollution and the costs of the eventual cleanup of the ground water whether the pollution was your fault or not.
Due to the former manufacturing and distribution agreements between Smith & Wesson and Walther, I consider the Walther brand to be off limits as well.
This is similar to the legal concept known as "the fruit of the poisoned tree." When the new holding group bought the tainted "Smith & Wesson" brand, they bought the taint as well and I will have nothing to do with it...
My wholesale distributors have been completely stocked up on S&W for a while now, their stuff doesn't seem to be moving. Of course at this point, not much of anything is moving, not even AR pistols which are likely to become unobtainium very soon.
