Yes. It costs too much to make them and they can't compete with the pricing of plastic guns. Glock is offering guns to departments for a little over $300 but it probably costs S&W more than that to make a 3rd Gen gun. CHP and West Virginia SP are the only two departments that S&W was still making them for, that I know of, & now CHP is switching to M&Ps. CHP paid $683 for the 4006TSW. THey could buy 2 M&Ps or Glock for that.
