So they copied the S&W MP Series? I like the striker fired composite frame guns, but it seems to me that the technology was solid at least a decade ago and most of the new guns either just try to refine the ergonomics, as in the MP2.0, or add some bells and whistles.

CW5 Jack Cardwell - And the Glock copied the HK VP70Z, just did it long enough after not to hit the patent thing. Never got to fire the original composite gun, but I am told that the trigger sucked, which Glock did get right, or at least did better. But my point is that the actual working guts of Striker Fired Pistols has been around for more than 100 years, composite framed pistols for about 50 year. Even the Glock patent suit against S&W had more to do with the actual shape of the gun rather than any real innovation in the firing mechanism.

Nice looking pistol, a little out of my league though. More of a revolver man.

I grew up with revolver and love the big bore wheel guns, but the older I get, the more I like the Auto's. I blame the 1911 Colt, although my current 45 ACP is a Taurus 24/7.
