It's not popularity. S&W 686 disappeared/still pretty much gone after a year and some months. The Taurus 66 SS, flagship revolver of Taurus, hasn't been going up as high as the GP100 or 686, but it also hasn't appeared on gun.deals for a long time.
Look at COVID cases in Brazil. 6th highest in the world. As many reported deaths as US with less population.
Think Beretta. Beretta shotguns were gone when Italy had a huge death rate. It's not just shut downs in production, it's population dying.
Nothing political about this reality. Seems to be the same problem here in the US with everyone blaming something other than more than half a million people have died including caregivers and lower wage workers.
