Interesting (but not surprising) that they carried that trademark over from the venerable J-frame. Smart companies know to leverage a great tradename that works, and they're obviously smart since they're moving to a 'free'(er) state; although a pity for some employees that it had to come to that. I'd never want to see S&W go away or be sold off to some third world outfit as other great names have been.S&W Bodyguard
