As so many people rightfully point out on this forum a "Grip Safety" does not belong on a gun intended for "EZ" of use particularly when it is a small calibre and is a evey day carry gun which should be simple to use.
Why complicate matters when you are trying to compete with the likes of the fantastic new SIG P365?(I don't like SIG but it is undoubtedly the best gun since the M&P Shield was made).
Don't take my word for\it but let us talk again in 1year from now 
Given the timing of this launch Smith &Wesson could have seriously capitalised on the launch of this gun had it been a worthy contender and opponent to SIG's P365.
I am now officially and truly ashamed to utter the words "M&P SHIELD" knowing that this horrible 380 hybrid shares the same Shield family title as my iconic M&P Shield 9mm.  |
Well.
Thank you for not understanding my post. It's a shame people can't express an opinion without needing to express some sort of "superiority."
Anyway, let's see:
Seems as though some folks, such as yourself, have decided for some reason that you are "right" about things like grip safeties, etc. Since you apparently don't manufacture firearms, I hope you'll understand that I'll go with S&W's opinion.
Sorry, I don't think the Sig 365 is impressive. I'll keep my first-generation Shield 9 with the stock parts, thank you.
I don't think S&W is worried about a "worthy contender" to the new Sig. Really, I don't.
"Officially and truly ashamed"? Wow. I guess you're entitled to your opinion, but I have to wonder how S&W might feel about you having one of their "iconic" firearms.... Just a thought, of course.
Incidentally, I'm not "defending" this new gun because I like it or want one. I have a .380 or two already and this gun would not suit my needs any better. I simply appreciate that there's a market for it. Again, we'll see how it's received by the folks it's meant for.
