Smith & Wesson cutting back on competition?

[NEPAKevin]

Talking to some fellow shooters, it was mentioned that there is no S&W IDPA Indoor Championship (aka Winter Nationals) this year and there is gossip that some team S&W members were cut loose. IDPA major match schedule seems to indicate that the former is accurate.

Doug Koenig is heading up a new Ruger team.

Seems I need to mosey east or have my old training partner check a mutual friend named Jerry’s temp. on this.

Doug Koenig is now the captain of Team Ruger. Wonder if he will be able to shoot his S&W signature 1911.

Yeah - on the WC team, I asked about the SWIN, and was told it was a no-go this year...
