I have seen quite a few references on gun boards and in reviews referring to the S&W Sigma as a "Smith and Wesson Glock". To know that this is not a literal, factual designation requires you to know what a Glock is to begin with, and to know that the Sigma is remarkably similar. However if you have no real idea what a Glock is, but you have heard some people refer to a gun as a "Glock" and you recognize Smith and Wesson as a brand name for guns, then it may be perfectly reasonable to presume that when someone on a gun board refers to your gun as a "Smith and Wesson Glock", they could be calling it by its correct name.
I think a lot of gun owners come off as elitists or jerks quite by accident. They just don't realize that people who didn't grow up around guns do not have the same set of experiences or way of thinking as they do, so in my experience, they can sometimes unintentionally wind up really alienating new gun owners.
