IM,
If I was in TomGresham's shoes (assuming he's being compensated for) helping S&W hump the new gun - This forum is a very good place to get a sanity check from the hardcore doublegun crowd. We have collectors, tinkers, shooters, the advanced and the newbies all in one spot for a quick marketing query. Marketing not sales...G Rosnak hit it on the head; that folks who's next gun is going to be a 40 year old Belgian made graded Super aren't going to be buyers of the Made in Huglu S&W.

Now if S&W built the new plant stateside - I bet he could sell 25 or 50 guns right here in a matter of weeks. I have an RBL on order pretty much because I wanted CSMC to be successful at building an affordable gun, and if S&W was building domestically I'd probabably get one for the same reason.

TomGresham,
I do want to see your name in the contributors list for doublegunshop.com - kick a 20 to Dave via paypal.
