Annoyed at S&W

[BillR1]

I do not want to deal with a company that says to me "Our gun is **** and we are going to take your hard earned money and seel it to you anyway because we don't care what one guy thinks, we care how many guys we can rip off and get away with it.

You seem to be one of the VERY few that have an issue with this so-called "malfunction". The rest of us LIKE the feature. I sure don't feel ripped off.

I am sticking to the subject Chief, its my thread. and it is a fair comparison because if i were not expecting the slide to slam shut and if I were a newbie to the gun world and had my finger on the trigger, the guy in the lane next to me would have been dead. It is a safety issue and it could kill people, Get it?

So...they need a make a completely idiot-proof gun? The "newbie" needs to demonstrate proper muzzle control. A newbie can screw up untold different ways and hurt someone. This feature is the LEAST of his concern if he's that careless with the muzzle and his trigger finger.

Thats great.The fact still stands that its not supposed to do it. What is so difficult to understand about that? In my experience, I did not slam in the magazine. I slid it up to the locking position and the slide slammed shut.I tried the same thing with the Glock 17 I had rented also, the slide stayed open. I Did the samething on my Sigma, the slide stayed open and I did it on my Colt 1911 and what do ya know the slide stayed open. I bought the Glock 17/G3 and I am happy with it. Maybe when I am ready to purchase another gun I will look at Smith and Wesson again. I do not want to buy a gun that malfunctions fresh off the GS shelf. I thought that I would get that with an M&P and after researching it i would have. Maybe I'll go with the Rock Island 1911 next time or maybe the CZ or the FNH. Maybe the Beretta, My prior service weapon. I do not want to deal with a company that says to me "Our gun is **** and we are going to take your hard earned money and seel it to you anyway because we don't care what one guy thinks, we care how many guys we can rip off and get away with it.

You can buy whatever you want, I don't really care. I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy in your reasoning. You say you won't buy the M&P because it will auto-forward (perfectly reasonable decision on your part), but you'll buy a Glock even though as has been shown, they will auto-forward as well. So it seems you are holding one make/model to a different standard than the other. I've yet to see you call for a full-scale recall of all the Glock pistols because they will auto-forward, yet you've done just that with the S&W.

IMO, you have stated a valid reason why you don't want the M&P. But that reasoning loses some validity when you purchase another gun that suffers from the same "defect", as you call it. To each their own.

I want to know how to get this "feature" on all of my autos. I don't put a magazine into the gun to leave it unloaded. Anyone who can't keep their finger off the trigger while inserting a mag is a prime candidate for pulling it when they drop the slide.

Thats what I said, a newbie. If ya want this feature to be on all your guns i'm sure you can rig so it will do that. Or maybe you can just send them all to smith and wesson and tell them to "fix a problem", it should come back not working just the way you want it to.

someone seems a little uptight over a gun they dont own......

You really say some ridiculous stuff... if anyone ever sounded like a troll, you sure do. Guess I can say what I want here too.. That really made sense, finger on the trigger AND aiming the gun at the guy in the next lane...
