Our S&W LE slaes rep is stopping by tomorrow morning with a 2.0. A few of the local suburban agencies are sending people to attend the, "Show and Tell Session". I have to admit I'm curious to see this in person.
If there's any questions anyone is interested in, let me know and I'll ask the rep.
Thanks for the offer. Probably nothing new here, but if you have the chance, I'd like to know about 25 yard and beyond accuracy potential, auto-forwarding (fixed?), whether the new slide release provides additional strength and eliminates breakages, if the new frame rails were intended to provide extra durability or frame rigidity or something else, and any subtle improvements not being widely reported on. Thanks!
My take on the trigger "quality" is it's exactly a trade off for a fully tensioned striker. They could make it a 4 pound trigger that functioned more like an Apex FSS but then you'll end up with a whole lot of ND's and holes in people who are habitually sloppy with their safety practices.
As a compromise you get a fully cocked striker with a crunchy, spongy longer travel trigger as compared to someone's ideal.
I haven't messed with H&K or SIG's striker guns but Walther apparently said screw it and put a very nice trigger on their's. For me it's way too light and short travel for a gun with no manual safety.
