John, I agree that there's a lot of Kool-Aid drinkers on S&W Forums... but the S&W expertise here on 24HCF is just as highly diluted.
I don't know why it is that here on 24HCF there is a good deal of very solid rifle info for riflemen, but when it comes to handguns, the nutjobs start crawling out of the woodwork at the merest whiff of a "Glock vs 1911" or "44 Magnum vs 45 Colt" controversy. Before you know it you get idiots saying they can run their SA handguns faster than anyone can run a DA, that .44 Mag/.45 Colt/whatever caliber is the best, and folks jump up to say "I've never shot an N-frame 45 Colt or Glock, but here's my opinion anyway, based on what A Guy once told me at the gun shop..."
This is why I abandoned the Handguns forum here a year ago and why I generally avoid handguns discussions in other 24HCF forums. I am sincerely regretting ever getting involved in this thread, for that matter.
I am glad you did.
