Good and Bad business decisions by gun companies:

[S&Wshooter]

I know this seems unlikely for a S&W fanboy like me to say,but...

Bad:S&W, for making that revolver with a explode-o-matic aluminum cylinder
Bad: S&W, for their tiny little Airweight revolvers that have grips so short that you can't even fit 2 fingers on them
Bad:S&W, for making Hogue grips stock on alot of their revolvers, making it uncomfortable for people with big hands (me) to handle/fire them

Smith just released a 686 plus 5 inch, but it looks ugly. The SSR looked cool in 4 inch, the 5 just turns me off. Its got the "pro series" barrel profile.

The performance center 686? Yeah, it's pretty ugly. It's like tearing up a brand new Shelby Cobra and putting spinners, a spoiler and hydraulics into it

Good: Browning; for every single thing they have ever done
Good: FN, same as Browning
Good: S&W, for not taking advantage of their customers by not making everything way more expensive than it should be
Good: Colt, for all of their revolvers
Bad: Colt, for discontinuing the Python

Good: FN, same as Browning

Browning is part of FN, Id just say FN as a whole is a excellent company. Fn is the only company I know who puts 3 mags in with a new gun.

How about Remington putting cheap barrels on the Etronix rifles when the advantages of electronic priming apply mainly to match shooters?

Or Winchester going to push feed on the post-64 Model 70s?
