S&W is finally starting to produce new stuff, but most of their offerings are still based on their old-fashioned standardized frame system. For too long they were afraid of breaking the system. On the other hand, you look at companies like Ruger that will create a completely new design as needed, and you see the intrinsic difference. With other companies, you see specialized designs, for a particular role. With Smith & Wesson, you see minor rehashes of the same thing, when a completely new design is often called for.
