I also get a kick out of those guys that would call a 1911 or 4566 "junk".

I've seen more than a few guys quickly change their tune when they get one in their hands at a range.

Some of my LEO friends who used to have to carry Glocks now are issued SIGs. One department has .40's. the other one has the SIGs in .357 SIG. Now they all to a man think the Glocks are junk. Although fairly reliable junk, and love their metal SIGs. I've never understood how any real shooter could prefer a plastic framed, DAO striker gun to a metal gun with a hammer.

1911's are flying off the shelves at $1000 and up. A "4th Gen" scandium framed, compact DA/SA pistol would easily win multiple gun of the year awards and be in short supply. The problem is, S&W is already running production full out, and making record profits, so there is little incentive for them to introduce new products in the short-term.
