Smith and Wesson and Ruger are both publicly traded. How have they avoided becoming big gay like remingshit?
Chad whales holding the floor >he isn’t in the Ruger and S&W whale telegram groupImagine not holding 1% LOL NGMI
>>64668511>How have they avoided becoming big gay like remingshit?I see you haven't bought a revolver in a while. Smith in particular has some utter dog shit level QC these days. They're following remshit's pattern disturbingly closely now.
>>64668511Private equity vs publicly traded
>>64668511Modern smiths are garbage. My 36 from the 70s and pre Hillary hole 686 are amazing guns, but the Modern 638 is got is shit, worse qc than my taurus 650.
>>64668804microjeet is publicly traded and total ass
>>64668511>>64668804thisRemington was purchased by a private equity firm. Private equity firms buy unprofitable companies at a low price, and then fire people until they become profitable again.
>>64668816really pisses me off. if i didn't think it had a high possibility of being turbofucked from the factory, I would really like to get one of those performance center model 19s or 586s with a comp.

>>64668511Ruger shares are mostly owned by the family (Bill's kids) and unlike their deceased father they are staunchly pro 2A. There have even been cases where anti gun groups have bought minority shares, used them as leverage to try and arm twist Ruger into cucking themselves like they used to in Bill's day and promptly being told to shove those shares up their asses.S&W I don't know as much about. The quality of their revolvers has absolutely crashed in some part because they moved manufacturing to Tennessee afterwards Massachusetts became politically untenable and economically hostile. Their automatic pistols are doing pretty well though.
>>64668851that's got nothing to do with my post
>>64668933>Ruger shares are mostly owned by the family (Bill's kids)ok. that's good>>64668939most publicly traded companies are lowering the quality of their products. it's not just private equity, basically anything that isn't family owned is currently a shit show
>>64668933Apparently Beretta is trying to corner Ruger now. They have something like 9% of the shares. Just found it while looking for the article about them telling their activist shareholders to go fuck themselves.Ruger is maneuvering to avoid being bought out, but it would be interesting if Beretta succeeded.
>>64668941>most publicly traded companies are lowering the quality of their productsyeah the economy is headed for the shitter. corps have mastered the art of borrowing money, cutting costs, and extracting profit from the public. it's all going to blow up like a nuclear bomb the moment the well runs dry
>>64668961>is headedit's already there
