Walther USA moves to Ft Smith, AR.

Walther is moving its US distribution and service center to the Umarex facility in Ft Smith.
A few extra gun related jobs in town is a good thing.

They're hiring gun-techs and gunsmiths.

So S&W doesn't make all Walther? Sounds like they only distribute them.

Correct, S&W has been the Walther importer/distributor in the US for years.
But thats all over soon.

Yes, things like the P-22 have S&W markings on them.
Before S&W imported them, they said Interarms on them.
Glocks say Smyrna Georgia on them...
Such is the world of firearms.
