Ruger did the 10 round thing, Smith added the Hillary hole locks, but Colt's CEO advocated against the 2A being a right and more of a privilege that required training before licensing.
I thought there was more than below. I had 2 S&W SS autos in the 90's and was not impressed, sold them. S&W cozying up to Clinton, being foreign owned (British) and making a Glock copy, that worked with parts swapped, really soured me to S&W. I do like their revolvers and M&P AR.
