Buy it, it is a great price for a NIB gun.
As far as the boycott goes, it is over. Some people are still trying, but the groundswell of support that caused the layoffs and almost put the company out of business is long gone. S&W has gone into negotiation and teminated agreements with over a dozen government entities, the biggest being the City of Boston. Trying to rally people against S&W now is about as effective as the boycott that I have been trying to put together against Ruger for 15 years. I haven't bought a new Ruger product, but there are not enough people who care about it for it to be effective. It is nothing more than a waste of bandwidth. Neither is going to be successful. If you think that you are going to ever see S&W publicly cheer in advertising that they beat the govt and are not going to comply with the agreement then you better get over it because it will never happen. That would mean that S&W would be cheering that gun dealers don't have to lock up guns in a safe at the close of business, that the purchaser has completed a firearms safety program, amoung other things. If a death was caused by a stolen firearm or if an accidental shooting occurred S&W would be contributory in the liability IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.
