Tom,Hello John, As a fellow gun owner you should know that Tomkins Industrial was the owner of Smith & Wesson and signed that awful agreement with the Clinton administration. Personally I've extended my boycott to all the products manufactured by Tomkins, even though they do make some good ones. Smith and Wesson was sold to a U.S. company about a year ago so they are "save" to buy now, but we should never forget what Tomkins Industrial (a UK company) did to our rights. Tom Reed
