This is a good grief avoidance procedure whenever any new gun comes out, regardless of manufacturer.MoJo wrote:S&W is pretty good at debugging new models, I would still wait a while before sinking my money into one of these. They will be hard to get for the next few months let someone else be the beta tester. I want one too but, I'm willing to wait 6-12 months.
The "gotta have it 'cuz it's new" guys will spend their money buying lots of them. Shortly thereafter you'll read detailed reports on what's wrong with the guns and when the manufacturer will have a fix in place - all without spending a dime.
There will be plenty of time to buy one later when and if they get working as they should and after you've had time to dispassionately consider whether or not they really do anything better than the guns you've already got.
