Since 1900 innovation in SXS gunmaking has been in manufacturing efficiency. Making the same product, with the same drawbacks for over 100 years but improving only the manufacturins methods does not indicate mental acuity.
Someone needs to inject some modernity in the SXS, making it owner serviceable, adaptable and repairable to the same degree as current self loaders. Technically it is possible.
The predicted future flood of high end used SXSs deters makers everywhere from new production. Not many would buy a 10K new SXS when they can get a decent used English best for half that sum. Used Italian best sells for much less.
