Default S&W 500 Semi-auto?

According to the S&W website, the 7.5 inch barrel Performance Center 500 revolver has a stainless steel frame and a stainless steel slide. Is this like VW's old Automatik Stick Shift? You know, a "Revolvomatic." Sometimes I wonder if the people who put together the website for S&W know which end the bullets come out of.

Does make you wonder if the department authorizing the work has ever heard of the old fashioned technique known as proof-reading.

Maybe they don't think it is important, or don't even know the difference. Who knows?

Well, Cabela's has been selling "clips" for years...

And then there's always the reigning champion of catalog fail...

Proofreading that kind of stuff requires knowledge of both language and product. Good luck finding the combination most places. Especially syntax and spelling.

It's becoming a lost art because most people don't care that much. Or just don't know they're being fed garbage.

Sorry, it's getting late and I'm feeling grumpier than usual.
