Why!? This is the gun NOBODY asked for. Especially with a grip safety. Sorry, but nope. Keep ot.
How dare you come to the S&W Forum and post such a negative and incendiary honest personal opinion about the new 380EZ? We here all know that everyone must love everything that S&W designs and markets, if for no other reason than it's a SMITH & WESSON!!!
And, how dare you criticize the absolute genius of S&W's factory engineering and product development teams for adding grip safeties, thumb safeties, trigger safeties, sear disconnect levers, engraved warnings, hi-visibility followers and other moron-proofing to their newest offerings so that dummies who should never even be allowed to play with sharp objects but who can buy S&W firearms don't inadvertently harm themselves or others as their meds wear off?
And, how dare you criticize the visionary prowess of S&W's factory marketing team who have just recently discovered that the 380 market for female and geriatric potential gun buyers is a marketing opportunity for S&W to jump into by bringing out their new 380EZ even though every other gun maker on the planet has addressed this market for the past 7 or so years?
You just don't appreciate the genius, effort and commitment to innovation that it takes for S&W to take a big, old, heavy, cumbersome frame design and to modify it slightly to accept the least effective but popular centerfire cartridge for personal defense and then, to dress it up with a host of idiot levers and funky features to appeal to a group of potential buyers who lack the hand strength to turn the valve on their oxygen tanks or to press their dentures into a gooey bed of Polident but, according to S&W's factory marketing geniuses, think these geezers want to play Dirty Harry from their adjustomatic hospital beds!
Oh, it's also blatantly obvious that you fail to appreciate how many women there are with such weak hands, fingers and arms that they can't possibly operate semiautomatic pistols made for us real men and, therefore, must be lumped together by S&W's marketing gurus with the drooling, limping, wheezing, trembling geriatric gunslingers who hunger for 380 firepower so they can blast evildoers to smithereens as they take cover behind their bedpans!
Yes, sir! We, here in the S&W Forum, all well know that women are weak and barely qualified to hold or operate a real man's firearm and that they must be directed by us real men to joyously appreciate the availability of the new 380EZ if they want to defend themselves against the threats that confront them in their everyday lives when their are no men around to protect them! Uh-huh!
And, to prove that I am absolutely right about your complete failure to recognize the unquestionable superiority of the new S&W 380EZ, factory recall aside, just look at the 200+ responses to your flaming thread which clearly put you in your place for daring to impugn the new S&W 380EZ.
Kool-Aid anyone?
