Well now, that will show them. Get rid of S&W and get the Gen 4 Glock, which has already had a "not-a-recall" across the board no-cost recoil spring replacement for every one of these gems! Good show BATFE!

But what do you expect from an agency that has an excellent track record of being so helpful to gun dealers and so "fast and furious" in its support of law enforcement officials all over the country.

This whole discussion is precisely why non-LEOs need not be impressed by the decision of this agency or that to issue this or that. Test it yourself. If it works, use it. Don't worry that "the job" or BATFE or any other agency did or did not approve a certain make or model. There are plenty of other considerations besides performance in these large agency decisions. The fact is that such decisions are not always performance based, no matter what some armorer told some officer.
