The storm is a POS. First, DA/SA is very hard to master for the novice. You will see most earring the hammer back at the range all the time. What good is that on the street? The storm’s slide is as wide as a battleship in order to contain the rotating locking lugs-there is a reason this 100 year old design was never popular much.
13+1? The G19 is 15+1 and about the same size. The S&W M&P compact is good, as well as the compact Rugers,etc.
Resale on the storm is atrocious. You will lose your shirt. It has many people liking it-until they pick it up.

The Storm is no POS, sorry to disabuse you of that. You may not like the gun, but I happen love my full size. DA/SA was no problem to master. Not a bit. Mine has not failed to perform as designed. Ever.

My gripe?Being full size (have some 20+1 mags), harder to conceal. I’ll live with it.

Well, my particular "POS" doesn't have the rotating locking lugs, though the slide width is the same as those that do. The "POS Compact" with the 15+1 capacity is the "anti Glock 19" (Glock and S&W don't offer a similar-sized equivalent to the "subcompact POS").

The only thing I absolutely hated about my "POS" was the - for me - useless right side safety lever, and a session at a milling machine took care of that problem.

Striker-fired semiautos aren't for everyone, and the "POS" is (in my opinion) worth at least a look from those who prefer a DA/SA with a hammer... be they traditionalists or just people who like the option. That doesn't mean they won't prefer a SIG, a third-gen S&W semiauto or even a 92-series Beretta.
