Things appear to be going well for this company as well.
The use of the obsolete designation "ACP" marks gun-writer Bart Skelton as a rank amateur. That terminology was replaced by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Institute (SAAMI) prior to World War II. Look at the headstamps, Stupid!
Most gun-writers seem to gain their technical knowledge (or lack thereof) from other gunwriters, who haven’t looked at a headstamp since their birth date. All reputable ammunition and firearms manufacturers use appropriate designations. It is no more acceptable to use obsolete cartridge terminology than it is to refer to a married woman by her maiden name. Yes, the gun magazines are full of this error and many off-shore and second tier manufacturers still haven’t gotten the word. But, It is “45 Auto”. Period. (Unless you have a pistol or ammunition manufactured prior to WWII).
Things are going well for S&W. The stock will react exceptionally well if they get next year's Army contract, replacing Beretta. Good chance of it too. The new M&P line compares quite favorably w/ Glock.
