Yeah its an ugly dog.
It's amusing to note that Springfield has at least for a time stopped trying to knock-off Glock, and has instead turned to Hi-Point for design features.
The mini Springer. Not JUST an ergonomic disaster, but the new Rosie O'Donnell of handguns.
UPDATE
This just in. A local PD had a shoot-off using Glocks, Springer-Spaniels, and S&W Mostly Poor's.
Over the course of 3 days, deputies fired between 50-70 rounds from each pistol, and were all but unanimous in wishing to retain their G-22's. As is the case with everyone we've spoken with, the Springers in all models have longer trigger resets, more felt recoil, and are difficult to point shoot. Among other things. The M&P's were selected best overall by two of the 114 men and women doing the testing, and it is of interest to note that both were women. Springers were favored by 5 of the men, and disliked by all that were certified armorers*. None of this means a hill of beans compared to how a gun feels in YOUR hand, so who should care if you happen to like a weapon that is slower and less accurate. 99.999% of all citizens owning a gun will never fire it at anything more dangerous than a menacing sheet of paper.
Am soliciting volunteers for the 1st Annual Messenger I Ran Out Of Bullets And Hadda Throw The Fucking Thing, barbeque, where contestants will get pissass drunk and toss various unloaded firearms at different targets. Prizes are yet to be determined, but we'll certainly announce the model winner.
*Parts, parts parts. And familiarity with the current sidearm, of course, had a lot to do with it.
