That is when you really can tell the difference, and what the heavy third generation pistols were made to do.

HMMM.... YES FRIEND, THE BHP IS A GREAT GUN, BUT WHO CAN ARGUE OTHERWISE FOR ANYTHING THAT CAME FROM MASTERMIND JMB REALLY. HOWEVER, SMITH & WESSON WAS NOT ALWAYS THIS LIBRELAL DOORMAT THAT HAS BECOME IN THE PAST DECADES. JUST A SMALL HISTORY REMINDER FOR THOSE THAT PERHAPS FORGOT AS THE TIME PASSES. FIRST AMERICAN MADE 9MM (M39), FIRST PISTOL TO REPLACE REVOLVERS/FIRST 9MM TO BE ADDOPTED BY POLICE STATE SIDE(M39), FIRST HI CAPACITY (UP TO 30 ROUNDS) DA/SA 9MM WORLDWIDE (1971 M59), FIRST OFFICIAL AMERICAN 9MM WITH THE SEALS (MK22), MOST 9MM MODELS VARIATION THAN ANY OTHER MANUFACTURER AT A POINT, AND MAYBE STILL SO TO THIS DAY. IN ALL FAIRNESS, I THINK, THE 9MM NOMENCLATURE SHOULD BE RENAIMED FROM LUGER & PARABELLUM TO SMITH & WESSON. LOL!!!
