I’m sure that SHOT show just around the corner has nothing to do with the timing.
It’s a nice looking gun, but polymer furniture and currently only in .44 magnum.
There is a very much nicer version of this in what looks to be AAA fancy walnut, but of course, for $3499, and it’s a limited edition which means it was a limited run of inventory.
Nice job. Now do a less expensive walnut version of your lever gun, and do .454 Casull.

And how does this compare to the Rossi which is easily $500 cheaper? And with a large variety of different models to chose from (carbine, rifle, stainless, walnut stocks, etc.). And also a large established after-market support.
I mean, great that S&W is branching out, but I don’t know that their gonna make a significant dent in the market. I’d rather go for one of the Ruger Marlins instead. Or the Rossi, the one I have in .357 is plenty good.

Here’s one for under $900. They were under $700 ten years ago when I got mine:

I’ve never had an issue with it.
