I agree, very neat, James. Although, 1.5 million handgun hunters seems like a generous estimate.

It is amazing,put out by S&W yet they mention using guns that S&W didn't make . Don't think you will find that nowdays. And I agree,handgun hunting,plinking,target shooting all great pastimes. I have my 10 year old grandson shooting my 4" 686 with .38 loads,he is willing to put down the video games for that !!!!

It's not the gun, but the man behind it.

That's neat. I enjoy older stuff like that. Even back then, they admit that we (handgun hunters) are the experts.

That is an awesome find James, and in reality it is very well written, IMO.

They purchased S&W in 1970. My oldest M29 from 1971 actually has the Bangor Punta Company logo on one side. They were an acquisition company that had major investments in lots of businesses.

James, Very cool item.
S&W was under Lear Siegler ownership from 1984 thru 1987. I remember seeing these at IHMSA matches at the handout table. I think I have one somewhere.
