Folks, if you truly don't like new guns-don't buy them! Yes it would be grand indeed to see a forged frame, forged internals recessed cylinder, pinned barrel, squared butt M 66 with hammer mounted firing pin coming out of Springfield or Houlton.
Would ANYBODY be able to afford the cost of a production gun requiring that much hands on work?? Look at the cost of the current production Colt New Frontier $2000 and up.

Hopefully S&W will make enough of the newly introduced revolvers to actually get some in dealer display cases. Then the "I gotta have the newest" crowd will then trade-in their classic 'OLD' guns on the new ones! My LGS took in a pair of 686's on an R-8 and a shield a couple weeks back, proof some people just don't want an older gun.
