Companies do what is best for the company and for profitability. Sometimes that means leaving stubborn employees behind when the company seeks less-hostile turf.Possibly, but wouldn't that make older models more valuable if quality were to suffer due to a move and training a new workforce? How many of those employees that have been there for decades would be willing to make the move?
So are you saying that S&W should move there business with no regard to their history, tradition and the people who work for them? I haven't heard that S&W actually wants to move, just people saying they should.Companies do what is best for the company and for profitability.

I'm saying companies make decisions based upon what's best for their bottom line.

When Maryland, in its usual misguided liberal idiocy passed some very restrictive gun laws, Beretta had no problem shutting down and moving the factory from Maryland to Tennessee. The head honcho from Beretta even visited the Maryland governor and told him Beretta wouldn't stay in a place where the employees couldn't buy the guns they were making. The moron governer O'Mally signed the bill and Beretta carried through on their promises.
Gun makers should refuse to manufacture in states that are anti's. Take their money to where it's deserved.
I would be the first guy in line to buy a Colt pistol that said Made in Texas in the barrel.
Ruger has a large facility in Arizona. They are set to move when the time comes.
It can be done.
You're assuming they would start making Pythons again if they were to move to Texas?Moonpie,
Given my love of Colt's revolvers, you'd have to wrestle me barefooted to get the FIRST "Made in TEXAS" Colt Python.

Last Python I looked at I was looking for the jewels it must have for the price.easy rider,
ONLY if Colt's"management" has BRAINS. = Is "brains" too much to ask??

Tell them to make one in 460 Magnum and I will... maybe 45-70 would do, but prefer that in single action.Just buy Ruger. I think they are made in the current Free state of arizona.
