I like revolvers but this seems like a gimmick. I have heard some of you guys mention that +p in light weight .38's can thump, this one is even lighter. It reminds me of a comment a co worker made when we were doing the prototypes for the T/C Omega, " The cutting edge of obsolete technology". I don't think revolvers are obsolete, but the technology IS 170 years old.

Yesterday I thought, wow, I can't wait to get one. Today I'm thinking, I'll wait and see if there's a recall. Maybe I'll get an SP101 instead. The deep fluting on the cylinder reminds me of the 4-shot Colt "cloverleaf" revolver from about 130 years ago.
I'm a true believer in THAT.

Maybe someone will get the full set of free Ruger hats but it won't be me.  ;D  After it's been out a year or two I'll think about buying it.

Glock should thank Heckler & Koch for laying the groundwork for them in the field of polymer framed pistols with the VP 70 pistol patented in 1968 and made in 1970.

I don't know. I don't see this gun as being a real "game changer" and it looks similar in shape to my S&W 649.....I'm sure the gun is good but I'll have to handle and shoot one to really know more. I'll be waiting to see if there any "issues" with this one like there were with their last two big products. I hope they realize they can not continue to take the Microsoft approach to firearms development- hurry up and produce and then fix the bugs in the field......

Why the 2 that actually got to market were BOTH recalled, If they were to thank any one it should be Kel tec.

That's true.. except for H&K tanked.. compared to the success and marketing of Glock. I know Glock wasn't first. But, Glock was the first big and sustained success.

Actually they should thank Sig for setting a standard by making real guns, guns that don't have to be recalled, and guns that are designed to fit a human hand.
