Chris:

I know Clinton's out but that little fiasco that Smith & Wesson signed with his administration started a civilian backlash that is still in progress despite new ownership, the NRA's blessings to the new ownership, lifetime warranty to the original retail purchaser, and my local gun dealers pushing Smith & Wesson over Taurus.

Taurus used to be a South American Smith & Wesson wannabe, but they learned very quickly to go with quality, innovation, variety, and a lifetime warranty on their firearms even if you were not the original retail buyer. They even offered to let Smith & Wesson license their locking safety system in order to comply with approaching Federal requirements which S&W has not thus far responded to.

I understand that a shotgun for heavy duty use such as a riot gun with the accompanying pressures and recoil of a 12 gauge could shake and break things, but the way the 62A is built and the light recoil of a .22 makes it hard to believe I will ever break it.

Gotta love a company with that much faith in themselves and their products.
