[Shooter 2.5]

There are better pistols available without any of the political baggage attached.

If there are, I'd like to hear which ones those are.

If you're talking revolvers, there ain't a better gun out there. BUt semi autos is a different story. THere's lots of top quality semi autos out there not made by S&W.

I do like my Para-Ordnance 7.45 LDA. I think it is an excellent pistol for the price.
