[QUOTE="zipty6, post: 3968880, member: 19401"] Put this in the "everything old is new again" category. I find Smith & Wesson's increasing number of hammer fired offerings very interesting. Most have internal hammers, so they look a lot like the ubiquitous striker powered designs of the last few decades. This is a brilliant way to make the trigger crisp and get rid of annoying trigger-mounted safeties. The inverted grip safeties are a step backward cosmetically, but I think they're worth the trade-off. Examples that quickly come to mind are: CSX Shield EZ series Eqaulizer M&P 5.7 I really think these should be considered a new product line separate from the M&P, but I understand trying to take advantage of that line's established position. I also find it amusing to think of the people that would carry one of these designs but be nervous with a 1911 in Condition 1. [/QUOTE]
