The Gold Elite is made by the Turks under contract w/ Smith and Wesson. They are really good guns. Based loosely on a Mackay Brown trigger plate action gun. Some purists may scoff at them, but ask yourself this, would you rather have a new gun that can shoot any ammo you can put in it, or a shot-out 80 year old gun that should only be shot with special order low pressure ammo? I'd rather go hunting! IMHO
