What if Smith and Wesson didn't exist?

[old bear]

If S&W don't exist, then handguns would be nothing more that tools for me, so I would go back to Browning High Powers.

 

[C Broad Arrow]

Like others have said...We be likely buying and discussing Colts!

 

[BCDWYO]

Rugers and Dan Wessons

 

[nipster]

I wont buy no heavy, cast ruger junk

 

[Engineer1911]

Rugers because that was what I bought when I couldn't afford the very best -- S&W from 1975 to 1987.

Colt Python is the most over-rated and over-priced domestic handgun on the planet. I might have bought the only lemon Python ever built and ONE was enough. I owned 2 Trooper Mk IIIs that were a joy to shoot but both got sold separately to buy S&Ws.

 

[AveragEd]

I would collect Pythons and Diamondbacks.

We would be hanging out in the Colt forums.....

 

[gruntdeputy]

I'd be shooting a Ruger and wishing for better.

If Smith & Wesson didn't exist... I'd have a lot of money in the bank

Now that right there is the truth!

 

[Powder Burns]

I didn't include Colt revolvers because I thought we were just talking about stuff you could still buy new.

I wish Colt would come out with some DA's.

 

[silentflyer]

Dan Wessons,Colts, and Rugers..

 

[European]

Marurhin revolvers are excellent, a bit like a de luxe version of Rugers. They'd be the alternative for me.

 

[Knightrider03m]

More than likely I would have had all glocks and no wheel guns.

 

[Clean Break]

If Smith and Wesson didn't exist I'd own a Benelli Super Black Eagle right now... but they do, so I get by with my Benelli Nova.

Handguns: Rugers, Colt SAAs, Kimber Autos, Browning, Sig. Clean Break

 

[ImprovedModel56Fan]

I'd own a few more Colts, but I might not be shooting DA as much. Probably wouldn't have as many guns.

What if Smith and Wesson didn't exist?

Then this would be the cough drop and cooking oil forum.

 

[Fat Old Guy]

Do you mean if S&W had never existed? Another company would have come up with very similar pistols made in similar quality. Or maybe Colt would have been more successful and still be a viable company.

 

[ccpacker]

Just about anything but a Glock.

 

[COL Jagdog]

Webley revolvers, High Standard Crusaders, Iver Johnson -- I have a couple examples of each (and they would have been more prolific)-- and I would own a bunch more Brownings, Springfields, Les Baer's and Ed Johnson's.
