You know, I'll wager that if S&W had decided to put their lock ON THE HAMMER (like Taurus did) instead of drilling a HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE FRAME, that a whole lots fewer people would pizz and moan about it.
If S&W had put the lock on the hammer it could also be REMOVED and replaced with a plain hammer if the owner so wished. And it could be removed without leaving a HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE FRAME.
If S&W had put a lock INSIDE THE GRIP AREA like Ruger did instead of putting a HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE FRAME, then fewer would complain about how fugly it looks.
Even IF you decide to drill a HOLE IN THE GRIP to access the lock you can simpley INSTALL DIFFERENT GRIPS at a later time and not have to worry about a HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE FRAME.
Unobtrusive seems to be a word that has evaded S&W managment.
As for Taurus developing a smart-gun, don't kid yourself for one nano-second that other companies aren't looking hard at it too. Taurus was very smart to advertise they were working on it, at a time when so many groups were getting lawsuit crazy. Has anyone heard anything more from them about it?
I haven't. I have seen and handled several new models announced AFTER their statement on smart-guns but I still haven't heard a peep about that new technology.
So until Taurus actually does something that infringes on my rights I'll be boycotting the boycott.
