Simple economics lead the rebate parade.....
HK demand remains high, no rebates.
S&W demand remains flat or less stellar, hence offers of rebates.
Other companies try to boost sales with rebates....it's the old : larger sales volume with smaller profits wins over small volume with higher profits.
I have an HK45.......I enjoy it, really enjoy it. Just hope it never needs factory work since they are always busy with military and civilians take a very back seat to completing service orders.
