Both scenario can not be true at the same time.

Did you even read the article you posted the link to?
RIFLE sales have dropped and is what's dragging the quarterly numbers down.
The article states that compact and polymer handgun sales are up 30% and S&W is ramping production up for the M&P. M&P's were specifically mentioned in the article as "flying off the shelves" and "retail supplies are running thin."
So yeah, the article states exactly what I was saying. Thanks for backing me up with it.
