S&W is announcing a new product on the 11th. The question is, what is it.

The Gladius (short sword) makes me think something a little smaller, and I am thinking it could be a Staccato CS competitor. I don’t think it’ll be an SA35 shorty because of the name difference, but I could be wrong.
It could also be a Sig Spear competitor.. |

I'll be at one of the into events in two Saturdays. I'm curious if it will be worth the drive.
I'm just hoping it works better than the Prodigy they let me (attempt to) shoot at their last event. |

https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/Springfield-Armory-new-firearm-release/5-2655606/&page=5&anc=104853852 Full-size gun at least modeled in part after the Hellcat with a removable fire control unit like Sig P320’s. |

 Looks like an XDM Mag cut but definitely a different follower.  The 2nd sear in the design is also very interesting. |

I think this thing looks pretty great-- I especially like how the grip modules actually come in different sizes for different sized hands and those slide serrations. I wonder if a 10mm could be in the future or if this is just a 9mm platform.
Alas, I probably would have bought this instead of an XDM, but I don't need another polymer 9mm. |

Springfield goes on and introduces a Echelon mag ... HOW STUPID ... if you wanted XDM dudes and gals to switch ... should have made it XDM mag compatible ... I'm out Springfield ... good looking and promising gun but you kind of screwed up in the mag department ... |

Looks identical to the Beretta APX. Not that it’s a bad thing.

I played with one today, I work for a distributor. Nice pistol with a good trigger/short reset. Slide feels great the way they cut it. Very comfy grip with great texture. Should be a winner for them.

The issue of magazine compatibility is really not as big an issue as one thinks it is. Look at FN, Beretta, SIG, HK, S&W, and even Ruger. They all come out with new shit that is compatible with the old stuff. Hell, the goal of a manufacturer is to get folks to buy a new product and all the new ancillary components to it.

My reliability concern is the ten holes for the optics mounting in the thinnest part of the slide.
