    What wont S&W sell with their name on it :p

    The Ruger Ram looks fantastic. I'm guessing the S&W cologne smells like market decline, and the smell changes every 2 years (along with the S&W line of semi-autos). I'll also guess that a lot of users complain that there is too much stacking when removing the lid.

    Which would be the better handgun for the military?

    NATO commonality was mentioned so.... I've never understood the argument in favor of commonality. Can anyone name one instance where troops from differing countries fought together and shared ammo (since NATO was established)? Police departments used the same argument in favor of issuing the...

    1911 in 9mm Solved?

    I understand the desire for a 9mm 1911, but my own choice (if I could afford one) would be a Hi Power in 9mm.
