S&W is going to devote production resources to what sells. Large-frame revolvers are far down the list. A big part of what is currently selling in that category are competition guns . As pointed out earlier, this one will sell to USPSA competitors.

Our perception of there being a big demand for classics is skewed by reading these forums. IMO, the N-frame is stuck in an in-between state. The .44 mag long ago lost its crown. Shooters wanting powerful magnums are going to larger frames. Sub-.40 Calibers are going on smaller frames
