WELLLLLL, I have a different take on it, personally I dont thing LH has had much to offer from S&W for a few years,never liked the Heritage series guns. So not much of a loss there, I can see.
As to the new S&W revolvers and semi autos, the few new revolvers Ive seen are ok guns ,they have about the same number of issues as they had in the past. ARE they the same as 60s-70s-80s revolvers, NO,
But what product is the same.
In regards to Current S&W products, guys we love revolvers, BUT we are way in the minority, todays police and Zombie killer shooters, wouldnt know a revolver from a sandwich, if it isnt plastic, or 1911,AR-15 or high capacity it is seen as the same as non hd tv or flip phone.
And they are the buying public, much more than those of us collectors or shooters.
Plus the profit on polymer guns is so high, as a business its the only way to survive.
Trust me I wish the PC was the way it was in the 80-90s but its not the same , and now we are seeing the price on the older guns,P/C,LH and regular models, especially nicely kept ones, start to sky rocket.
So count your blessings if you have what you want, if you dont now, save to buy one a year instead of 2 or 3, soon all will be out of the avg guys price range, cause it aint never coming back-, just like a plain phone without photos,internet etc, its all gone the way of the DoDo bird. My .02,
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, and
Yes I still havent found that LH 19-5 with 3" magna ported yet, but it give me something to do,HA!!!! Bless All, Bob
