Oh, I think it's there. How many guys do we know that would
never carry a striker? Between here and on an actual range, there's a few I can think of.
Now--how many of those guys aren't already in love with Sigs, and don't rage against polymer frames? There's the market.
In any case, I think Springfield will have a much easier time differentiating themselves from Sig Sauer than trying to beat S&W and Glock, who operate closer to SA's plastic pistol price range.

She knows pistols extremely well. I know she used to work in a gun shop, and think that she works in a different one now. She knows guns quite well.

Oh, she certainly knows her stuff. And she writes well, her articles have a certain logical flow to them. I also quite like her "voice"--she remains relatable without adopting the "Neanderthal" persona a lot of gun writers fall into (which I don't like, because it's indicative of what they think of me).
And now, damn you, I just started reading her blog.
About the only thing she needs to do...is write an article saying an in-production gun is bad. Then she'll be perfect.
