Model variations and chamberings likely have more to do with sales..

Hey - thanks. No - a new one on me. I had been checking the site regularly but not in recent few months and must've missed specific discussion on. I too don't like the lawyer devices, but it's great to see tjhe model back! Time to sell off some things!Don McDowell wrote:gak have you been here http://www.winchesterguns.com/products/ ... mid=534177 lately
10-4. The "old" Browning's still the pinnacle and I've got that and several Rossis (which are perfectly fine), so no "rush" (after all this time!) and no personal complaints. I just found it odd that Winchester essentially ignored one of its best and most historically popular models for 50 yrs. Initially (1940s-60s) the pistol-caliber guns fell out of favor with the public with the advent and growth of the 30-30 (etc) market, we hear. However, I guess marketeers in the last 30 or so must have then seen too much competition from the imports to see a resurrected 92 profitable--or they were just dunces...or both! (Guess I answered my own question!) High priced and lawyered up though they may be, glad to see them dabbling in these levers again.Don McDowell wrote:I suspect you got time to save a little and keep what you have now. They just updated the web catalog and nobody shows any on hand anywhere, so it'll probably be a few months....
