	NATIONAL REVIEW: GUEST COMMENT
		Smith and Wesson says that if it had not stopped the suits, the company would have gone out of business within a year, due to attorney fees.
		The application of the agreement to several of Smith & Wesson's smaller competitors, or to Glock (one of the largest and most successful handgun companies), would destroy them.
		Thus, Smith and Wesson gains an advantage, by agreeing to terms which will harm its competitors.

	Smith and Wesson
		Smith & Wesson was founded by two men who shared a dream of developing a new type of firearm, one capable of being fired repeatedly without the annoyance of having to reload with loose powder, ball, and primer.
		Smith & Wesson continued to grow and expanded its line in 1880 by introducing the first group of double-action revolvers.
		As in World War I, Smith & Wesson answered the needs of World War II fighting forces, and by 1941 its total plant production was geared to supplying arms for the U.S. and her allies.

	Smith & Wesson's .44 Magnum
		Keith urged Smith and Wesson to also bring forth the.44 Magnum with a four-inch barrel for defensive and peace officer use and while waiting for this to occur, he had at least one.44 Magnum cut to four-inch, actually four and one-half inches and engraved and ivory stocked by the now long gone Gun Re-blue Company.
		All of the.44 Magnums from Smith and Wesson were finished in the incomparable Bright Blue finish, and carried a wide target trigger and hammer, and the finest sixgun sights then available, a fully adjustable white outline rear sight mated up with a ramp front sight with a red insert.
		Up to this point in time, all Smith and Wesson barrels were held tightly in place not just by thread pressure but also by a pin that transversed the frame through a slot in the top of the barrel threads.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Nation -- Smith & Wesson introduces .50 caliber revolver
		The new gun, which sells for $989, is one of nine models Smith and Wesson introduced this week at a trade show in Orlando, Fla. President Roy C. Cuny said it was the largest number of new introductions in recent years.
		Among the other new guns being introduced by Smith and Wesson is the industry's lightest ever: a.44 Magnum that has a 4-inch barrel, scandium frame and titanium cylinder, and weighs in at 1 pound, 10½ ounces.
		But Smith and Wesson, long the industry leader, also lost business in recent years after striking a deal with the Clinton administration in 2000 to install safety locks on all its guns and change its marketing practices.

	Smith & Wesson Handguns
		And though Smith & Wesson has recently gone through some dark times, under new U.S. ownership and enlightened management it is working hard to return to the mainstream of the firearms industry community.
		Smith & Wesson's first revolver tops the list not because it was the first revolver ever made (Colt patented that in 1836), nor because it was the first firearm to use a self-contained cartridge (Jacques Flobert patented that in France in 1846).
		The Safety Hammerless models are reputed to have been developed after D.B. Wesson heard that a child had been injured by cocking the hammer and pulling the trigger of a conventional revolver.

	Smith & Wesson Stock Rebounds, Despite Consumer Boycott -- 03/22/2002
		Everyone agrees it was Smith & Wesson's deal with the Clinton administration in March of 2000 that produced the consumer boycott.
		The agreement provided Smith & Wesson immunity from federal product liability lawsuits in exchange for the gun manufacturer agreeing to equip its weapons with trigger locks and smart gun technology, including "ballistic fingerprints," which help detect which bullets are fired from which guns.
		Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. was one of the few companies to see its stock climb that day - it closed at 95 cents a share.

	Why I Won't Buy Smith & Wesson (washingtonpost.com)
		Among other things, this agreement is a legally binding contract not just between Smith and Wesson and the government but also between the manufacturer and every wholesaler, retailer and private customer of Smith and Wesson products--even though these parties were not consulted, advised or asked for their consent.
		But shortly after the Smith and Wesson agreement was announced, several of the same government entities that signed the deal announced investigations of SandW's competitors for alleged violations of antitrust laws.
		There is nothing to prevent Smith and Wesson from opening its own retail stores in every gun-buying market or from franchising its retail licenses, unless of course you count the fact that they won't sell many firearms to the traditional gun-buying public.

	Smith & Wesson Model 500
		Smith & Wesson had turned the revolver industry upside down during the previous four years with the development and introduction of the smallest and lightest weight full-feature magnum revolvers in the world: the small and medium-frame AirLite Ti and AirLite Sc series with titanium cylinders and high-tech aluminum/scandium alloy frames.
		Like the Dan Wesson system, however, the result is that the actual barrel with the rifled bore is supported at both ends, not just at the rear, which enhances accuracy.
		And, most important of all, the barrel portion that is threaded through the frame at the critical location of the forcing cone, which must absorb all the punishing impact of the bullet as it leaps from the face of the cylinder, is a nonstressed interface.
