...and hk did the ploymer frame before glock
Glock influenced the industry?
Industry influenced Glock?
tip down barrel? hmm browning right?
Hmmmmm short slide recoil action? Colt? Ruger? Walther?
I dunno I think Glock just figured out Polymers and lightened up semi autos....
So if lighter semi autos is the question, yes.....they did, but they used lots of other innovations that were in other mfg's models.
Kinda like the HS2000 is doing the best of both worlds with a Glock like action and trigger safety, Beretta features and Walther p99 features........but it all goes back to Mr. Browning's tip up barrel too right?

I still find it amazing that people are paying for these freaking "tactical" lights...

Mike, yes I do. That document is dated 3/2000. Since that time, the English company sold S&W to the managers. They employ a lot of people in an area with a tough economy, and BTW, they're booming with their best sales month ever. How about if we both decide to boycott a company that made guns for Nazis, or Communists, or come from countries where the people that make them aren't allowed to buy them? Or lets boycott Kahr or Ruger because they picked up their skirts and ran rather than trying to come up with a model that meets MA laws, even though they have operations in MA.
The boycott is over, there are lots of other issues that are more important for gun owners these days.

Correct me if i´m wrong but i recall reading somewhere that the "safe action" existed prior to Glock´s extreme comercial success.
Rails, an HK thing.
Polymer, also an HK thing.
Then Gaston´s genius comes from gathering all these already existing qualities and put them into an amazinly simple gun.
I like the gun, but i rather give credit where it´s due.

VVG,
Wrong thread, but:
1. Tompkins selling the company didn't negate the agreement.
2. Saf-T-Hammer publically stated that it would "abide by all existing agreements." You do the math on that.
3. S&W, like every other firearms company, is benefitting from the events of September 11.
4. It's tough economic times all over, but quite frankly, the only people who owe S&W's employees anything is S&W's management. The employees can find new jobs. I can't find new rights.
5. Nazi & Communist guns? That's called the spoils of victory. You buy the loser's weapons and dance on their graves.
6. As long as I draw breath, I will continue to work toward educating firearms owners/potential owners about the dangers posed by the agreement, and will work toward a total boycott of the company UNTIL S&W's management withdraws from it.
