Yes... it isn't good for reputation. Since we don't know what evil lurks in the minds of S&W... we can only guess. I suppose it's possible that S&W calculates that a recreational shooter isn't worth the quality control, or has minimal impact on reputation? Who knows....
If I was reading about reliabilty issues with a firearm that I intended to rely on for self defense I would never purchase it, period, regardless if S&W stands behind their product or not. Who needs such issues when there are so many other proven products to chose from. On the other hand, I'd purchase a toy like the 15-22 even after reading about all the troubles.
