They want a soft shooting gun with an easy to cycle slide that they can carry for self defense.
Or maybe the buyer is a "gun guy", but his wife isn't and only wants a gun to carry for self defense.
They don't want to pay over a thousand dollars for a 1911 that will scare them every time it goes bang.
We might laugh at those guns and their owners, but S&W (as well as other companies) aren't. It's a market with a lot of potential.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a 9mm version at some time in the near future.
Remember, every one who buys one of these is now going to be a 2A supporter. If I were S&W, instead of rebates or extra magazines, I'd give a 1 year NRA membership away with each one of these purchased.

I think that is a much better way to think about it/this.
I learned a long time ago (I think about 3rd grade) that just because I like, or have use for something, doesn't mean everyone does.
Or that if I don't like something, doesn't mean everyone doesn't like, or have use for it.
