I guess I'm done with S&W then. Won't buy a Springfield because of them.
All M&Ps will be going to these grip safeties per S&W employee
I wont buy a S&W with a grip safety, but that's not why I won't buy a springfield.
All these people complaining about the thumb safety and the grip safety... Yet so many people like and carry the 1911 platform...
This is, essentially, a 1911-esque .380 dressed up in Shield guise.
This isn't the standard M&P action with an added grip safety. This is a completely different animal.
This gun is aimed at (See what I did there?) those who cannot handle the 9mm Shield for whatever the reason. My dad would probably enjoy this vs. the .38 Special J-frame that he thinks he wants.
I hope it sells well for them. And I hope that it puts another means of personal protection into the hands of those who otherwise can't operate a pistol.
I dunno, that's a trade off I'll consider as I've occasionally not had my finger positioned to activate the safety completely and it caught quite noticeably. I've never had a problem with vertically split trigger.Maybe the grip safety because no hinged trigger 'safety'?
Are you a little old lady that is recoil sensitive? You don't "get it" because it is not intended for you.
Seriously, this is perfect for some people. The only pistol my wife LIKES is her Sig P250 in .380. Medium sized gun, not a compact, easy to rack slide, 15 rounds and shoots like a .22.
Agreed, my comment was in the vein of someone posting about grip safeties coming on all M&P models (rumor at this point until confirmed).

Do you have anything relevant to contribute? If you are going to mock the firearm, at least point out where you disagree with the manufacturer. However, I'm sure many of those perceived grievances can be countered with the fact that you are probably not the target market for this particular firearm.
