That's true. When I asked my Dealer they didn't have a clue so I called S&W to see if my particular model was out there in the distribution pipeline. I was surprised that the Customer Rep was able to look up their production schedule so fast. I probably wasn't on the phone more than 3 or 4 minutes, but, having that Model's SKU number available when I called probably helped speed things up a bit.
After that I knew there wasn't much of a chance of my Dealer, or a Distributor for that matter, having a gun that wasn't currently available to them, but, once again, mine is a new Model........
