About as close to a bad experience with a firearms company I have ever had was with S&W during their agreement with Walter, which they DID NOT do their part on. That's another story, and that's history; I guess I should thank S&W, because of their bullchitt we know have Walther USA.
BTW & FWIW: The M&P line of handguns that Saved S&W. The frames are mad by Walther. The whole reason for S&W's deal with Walter was so they could get help making a polymer semi-auto, because their Sigma line was total crap. It worked too, because cops would not carry a Sigma, but they do carry S&W M&P's.
