    Gun Dealers and taking ID Photocopies?

    Is it a legal requirement by either ATF or the state of California for gun dealers to take a photocopy of your ID? All the gun dealers I've bought from require a photocopy of your ID, but is this a store policy or an actual law that a photographic copy be taken and that simply recording the...

    Is it possible to get brand new German or Swiss-made SIG pistols still?

    You can't cause they don't build them there right now.

    What is the point of the M & P anyway?

    The double/single action trigger was one of the things I forgot. That is definitely a major change. How many striker polymers do that? Now you can get back to the topic of explaining what the S & W does better, if anything.

    Is it possible to get brand new German or Swiss-made SIG pistols still?

    Thanks, you can actually see the point. It's like this, you have two cars that cost the same price and they are the only ones on the market: a Buick Regal and a Mercedes C-class.....which are you gonna spend your $30,000 on?

    What is the point of the M & P anyway?

    Sounds like a lousy deal. The P99 did a lot, it got to the ergonomics point first, then it added a cocked indicator, ambi mag release. I was hoping to uncover some sort of major changes like that, but I guess there are really none then?

    What is the point of the M & P anyway?

    Ok so you are taking the ergonomics angle, but I mentioned the P99 in the first post and that gun made the improvement you speak of long before the M & P came out

    What is the point of the M & P anyway?

    Thanks for bein a supporter. I am as lost as you. And as a heads up, the P-99 improved the ergonomics of the Glock about 12 years before the M & P came out so I still don't see what the M & P did different.

    What is the point of the M & P anyway?

    Of course I know it's a cash grab by S&W. My objection was what benefit does introducing such a product offer to buyers? I'm hoping to find an answer here how it does anything different or better than already well-established polymers.

    What is the point of the M & P anyway?

    For the people think I'm just saying <deleted> for fun and incite argument, go read the update I put at the end of post #1.

    What is the point of the M & P anyway?

    I said Glock and P99. The P99 is in .40 and had changeable backstraps before the S & W did. The Sigma was brought up to show that they don't have a good record of making polymers. The Glock's been around and proved over decades. The P99 is nearly as old, maybe 10 yrs difference. It has...

    What is the point of the M & P anyway?

    So trading away reliability is worth saving a few bucks, like what say a $100?

    Is it possible to get brand new German or Swiss-made SIG pistols still?

    Disappointed to see most all of them are either half-way or entirely made here now.....

    What is the point of the M & P anyway?

    With the Glock and P99 being proven, reliable, accurate designs for much longer time and with arguably better build quality, what does the M & P really do any better or differently? Can S & W even build something to the reliability level of either of those guns, considering the dud they made...

    Handgun Melting Point Laws

    I have read online that several states have these. A lot of people say it is just a legal ruse to disarm Americans. In trying to be fair and give them some kind of merit for this kind of a law, is there any kind of evidence that proves that ordinary guns (whether inexpensive or expensive) melt...

    John Browning's Move to Europe

    Can anyone clarify for me why Browning went to Belgium? I know he had many of his guns made there, but Wikipedia didn't say much on this subject. I also notice he lived until death there in Liege. Did he lose his patriotism and like Europe better than the U.S.? Or was his purpose staying...

    Why did Smith & Wesson pick MA as their home state, considering...

    AZ or TX would be a better home for several reasons. Both places are more business friendly and both those states would buy more guns than MA ever would with all their <deleted> and restrictive laws. Like another guy said too, the tax rates are lower than MA. You'd get more sales from those...
