Well, you're partly right, but, IMHO, 'investors' is a device used by managers to shift blame for their own screwups to some faceless entity. I have a ton of experience in modern corporations and I just have to chime in and clarify this issue;
Again, IMHO, Management doesn't give a tinker's darn about the investors, all they care about is making their bonus. Management is responsible for the continued use of the IL, MIM parts, shoddy quality, etc. Don't blame anybody but management for anything you don't like about current S&W products.
Back to the OP's question; it's a mixed bag. Be sure you can examine the product before accepting it. Know what to look for. Caveat Emptor.
