As many others have said, the firearm world has been changing for quite some time. Admittedly, I do not have, and simply cannot afford a registered magnum. I do have what I think is a solid theory about future firearm ownership; that being S&W revolver prices will drop with demand. It's undoubtedly a generational thing, once the generation that appreciates registered magnums the most passes away, there will be less demand. To a young man's untrained eye, a registered magnum looks like the gun that he inherited from his pawpaw and traded in a few weeks back on a Glock.

Us "younger" fellas that appreciate registered mags and triple locks are much fewer and further between than older generations.

*I've actually been going around spouting this theory without much physical evidence aside from anecdotal observations, but that's about to change*
