That may not be that big of a loss - maybe 20 guns a year?
But if you look at it as Another County switching... because there has been a lot latly going from Smiths to another model.
Let me ask the Forum this:
Does anyone know a department that went from Glock or Sigs to Smiths?

Small nit to pick here...Correct nomenclature for third generation S&W pistols:
A 4006 is notDAO. A full size DAO .40 in stainless would be a 4046.
First two digits denote the family, third digit is safety/decocker/size variation, and 4th digit is frame material.
Glad to see that S&W is not getting the preferrential treatment they had 'bargained' for. This is in spite of the fact that I personnally like S&W pistols.

Remember, just because you are not paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you!

But they dont buy all new Smiths EVERY YEAR, do they?
My FFL has been having a hell of a time selling any S&W hardware.
He feels it's the "Paybacks can be a bitch" syndrome. I agree.
For what it's worth, I also like their pistols and wheelguns. Have several, and plan on keeping them.
Since they were all pre-KGB (that'd be Klinton Gun Ban) era.
The local PD and associated agencies have nearly all went to either S&W, or Glockenspeil. Some of the guys opt for a Sig. All in thei rpersonal tastes there, i S'POSE.

None , however the Dedham Mass. police buy only S&W. Maybe we sould sent them thousands of letters asking them to buy "AMERICAN" or not BRITISH.
