"It's also fun when some S&W guns have the same name...such as
Military & Police or Outdoorsman."

Please do NOT get me started on the company's latest "brilliant idea" to spread formerly distinctive names all over their product universe...

Hey Fred! How's it going?

Hi, Ted. How do you like my S&W Combat Magnum mountain bike? It has the Combat Magnum tire and brake package, too.

Very nice, Fred. I myself picked up a Combat Magnum tire pump, a Combat Magnum hydration pack, and a Combat Magnum fix-a-flat kit for my Military and Police Model road bike!

Hey Ted, did you also get the Combat Magnum groin protector kit?

No, Fred... They told me at the bike shop I needed a snubnose version...

Real brilliant to dilute the name...
