The 'judges' that allow this should be sued and removed. The states signed on to abide by the US. Constitution and Bill of Rights so their petty/criminal AGs should be charged also.

No. I bet all the AG’s are from blue liberal stated. The business should not have to change their manufacturing just because abuse another happens to fit their product. What part of the 2nd amendment do they not understand?

If any company should be protected from lawsuits, it is the gun makers.
If it’s anything like the Fentanyl. Probably extremely committed though they’re also willing to play the long game. Short term the biggest threats in regards to the dumping switches in shitholes like Chicago are probably Domestic actors. NGOs, Charities, and Government Actors etc. Seeking to manipulate public policy and public opinion.
LE use Glocks.
"The switch to Glock pistols marked a major change in police firearms. Before Glock, officers mainly carried revolvers from Colt and Smith & Wesson."
No idea where you saw that but it isn't true. After revolvers they mainly went to the S&W Model 39 and 39-2 which were 9mm semis. Then they transitioned to the S&W Model 1076 a 10mm. But due to the weight and size, plus slow to reload under fire they went with the Sig 226 and later the Sig 228. Then they went with Glocks because of the 17 rounds, light weight (plastic) and cost.
Good stuff. TU. Why were the 10mm slow to reload? Standard design slide in mag right?
Slow was a poor choice of wording on my part. I should have said "cumbersome" to reload. The mags were larger and more bulky. Also the S&W 1076 is a 1911 sized frame and it's much heavier than the Sig or Glock. Personally, and from my conversations with former LEOs, the real problem was that too many LEOs couldn't handle the recoil. That's the same reason the FBI stopped using them. As sad as that is it's also why the .40 is falling out of favor and the 9mm is taking it's place. Glock went on a marketing blitz and most law enforcement departments bought into the "Austrian Perfection" spiel by Glock.
And, of course, the other side of that coin is stopping power. Some complain the 9mm is too light. Good stuff. Thanks for the info.
