Introduction
Hello everyone, my names Shawn, from Southern Illinois.
I came to this forum because I own a few S&W firearms, and am always looking for more information.
I own a S&W M&P 15 that I ended up taking the D-Ring type forearm off, and putting a floating forearm with low profile gas block on instead. I do enjoy it more, I guess I prefer that look more? But I've gotta say, do they taper and tack weld that gas block on? I had the worst experience getting it off, actually ended up putting it on the vice and cutting it off (unfortunately).
I also own a S&W Shield in .40, which I actually ended up looking at for well over 6 months before I ended up finally getting it. I find it to be fairly comfortable, and it works well for my CC.
Those are the only two I own that are S&W, but I'm actually quite proud of them, and I'm now looking at revolvers.
I work as an EMT in Illinois, and have been for some time now, I enjoy my job a great bit.
But anyways, that's me.

I still carry at times my SW40c which I retired with.
This is the EXACT pistol that Glock sued Smith & Wesson over and won.
It still fires perfectly and holds lots of rounds!

If GLOCK sued S&W, are they no longer able to produce said weapon? I'm guessing it's a patent that was violated? Interesting, I'll have to do a little research on the matter. I've owned a GLOCK 22, 4th gen, but I really really disliked the ejection of the spent casing..
