This sort of thing happens all the time, S&W will remain a brand for their firearms division.

S&W has been owned by a few holding companies over the years. The British one is the one that sucked Clinton's dick and started putting all those ILs on many of the S&W guns. (ILs- Internal locks)

Seems a waste to squander more than 100 years of continuous brand exposure and name recognition. Cobranding has worked well for them so far; I for instance own S+W sunglasses and knives. I must say that the S+W logo was definitely a draw when making those purchases since my perception of the brand is that they make good stuff.
Perhaps their new target market are the millenials who might be put off buying a shirt from a "gun maker". |

when the product is the most important thing to a company, the brand name is valued.

"No more Smith and Wesson."
You should be a reporter, what with the totally misleading title and all. Geez! |
