Just talked to my sales person at Lew Hortons and it seems they are being dropped by S&W as distributors. S&W dropped 5 distributors at the first of the year. My closest, Williams was aways getting special overruns/discontinued guns in that they let me rumage through, I hated to see that. Now I guess they're in their second go around and another 5 distributors are to be dropped. Reason I've heard is to be able to supply the remaining distributors with good inventory. I would think as much as Lew Horton has done for the brand they would remain one of their prefered distributors. This probably belongs in the lounge but it seems to affect revolver owners more than anyone else, guess I'm getting old enough to realise "the times they are a change'n".
ta killed it, as far as I am concerned. I bought a 649 in that era that was a complete utter and total pig. No QC, not concern. I can't see getting rid of LH as a distributor, for the reasons expressed above. They had some folks that really came up with great ideas for special models. Not every one of them appeals to me, but that doesn't make them less good. Only appealing to me would likely be poor for the other folks out in the world who have other goals.
