What it is, they don’t want parts fitted like the old days, there is really no hand fitting on S&W revolvers, all internal parts are MIM, hardly any fitting required, just drop in the parts, so there is no skill personnel who can actually fit the barrel and such, that’s why you see more and more 2 piece barrels coming out, no indexing needed
sadly, the only way to get such quality control and professionalism is to go high dollar.
not all of us can afford such firearms.
same can be said of any American made motor vehicle,
including motorbikes. compared to the higher dollar ones built in other countries, but at a cost of shipping, and lack of parts availability, and even professional techs to service them. otherwise, many times, much better quality.
washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, etc,etc....
"get in the raw materials, stamp it, assemble it, push it out the door"
"let the dealerships-stores-repair shops, deal with the backlash".
"we are only here to build them, nothing else".
-heads outside the US says unless their US affiliate says the same.
