I was looking through S&W updated website and could not find any 3rd Generation autos on it! Is S&W really doing away with them?????
I hope not!

I have one word for you, "plastics".

Did you check in the Gov/LE section? IIRC, that was where many of them were.

I just tried to check the SW website, and it was "closed". Notification didn't say for how long. Wonder if there is a major restructuring of the product line afoot.

When I looked at it earlier, I could not find the 4566TSW and 4563TSW they used to list under the Law Enforcement side. My search only brought up a mag, night sight, and mag holster.

I don't know about the status of the 3rd gens (I can only hope it has something to do with the production factory switch to the Houlton ME plant of all full metal semi-autos, 1911 etc), but the S&W website has been completely redone. I suspect they are making further website updates and the site will be on and off all day. They also have finally published the 2010 product catalog.
