Some cities were sueing the pistol mfg for building a defective device. It must be defective because people got killed with it. The suits have basically all been thrown out of court since the cities are buying guns for their police force to use to ...

Anyway S&W made a deasl to not sell to certain gun shops, work on safety systems that would be more dangerious than no safety. In exchange they wouldn't be sued and would get preferencital treatment in purchasing guns for police. Naturally gun lovers (like me) think of this as a sell out.

S&W was then sold by the English company that owned it and the CEO that made the deal is gone.
