Haven't started a thread in a while. But I was wondering about this and this is the best place to ask.
I know that in many industries, there is no such thing as permanence. The firearms industry is no different.
Why does it seem that there are well established names in the industry that builds an organization and then leave it for whatever reason? Only to start anew.
Do they get fed up with a possibly stultifying corporate culture? A desire just to do things the way they want to do it?
A prime example is perhaps the Smith and Wesson company. We all know about Dan Wesson firearms also. Then just a little while ago I learned that the head of DW firearms started his own venture called Fusion Firearms. I think there is definitely a market for semi-custom firearms but how much can the market really take? In the end, they're all pretty good.
So what gives?
