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.
