Look at Colt - also formerly known as a revolver company - making most of its bones for the last 100 years on 1911 pistols, and AR15 rifles. It works in reverse too...... Kimber used to be known as a 1911 pistol and high end bolt action rifle manufacturer, and is now also making revolvers. Mossberg, the shotgun people, now make bolt action rifles and AR15s. Etc., etc., etc. S&W is no different.
It isn't only gun manufacturers doing this. Starbucks was once only a purveyor of coffee whereas now not only do they sell coffee but tasty pastries and sandwiches and whatnot. McDonald's menu is decidedly diverse compared to their roots as burger & fries joint. Eric Clapton used to be a hardcore rock & roller and now he mostly plays acoustic sets. It's a crazy world for sure.
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it I can't say. People just liked it better that way.
