Neat article. Shame that S&W dropped the ball (again) as it would've been good to hear how they did with the 945. Looks like the FBI got a nice piece.
As a 10mm fan though, I'm still irritated at how the FBI destroyed the 10mm commercially by their bad press, when it was their decisions to screw with the loads that lead to the functionality problems they experienced. Yup, 10mm has a lil bit of kick. Don't expect a round with terminal ballistics along the lines of .357 magnum to not kick. Physics is not your friend in this matter.
And, lastly, I will opine yet again that I wish I could like the 1911. Conceptually, I do. As a longtime gun guy, I consider it, overall, the best fighting pistol in history. My hands just can't stand em though. For some reason, the 1911 just feels about 11 sorts of wrong in my paws. When it comes to combat autos, gimme a High Power, Glock, USP, or Sig any day. Just fits me better. Shame too. Nothing shoots quite like a properly accurized 1911. Well, except for any moderately good quality revolver out of the box =)
Did I mention that I grew up a wheelgunner? LOL.
