Nope
I just think it's funny that there has been so much derision applied to the genre after Taurus introduced them that it's really funny that Big Dawg S&W finally saw they were missing out on a few dollars and jumped aboard. There's very likely nothing wrong with their version . . . just find the whole episode kinda funny.
The 1911 has been around forever and is an established, much-appreciated design. That essentiallly everybody has a version on the market and are all selling like hotcakes pretty much proves it's a universally-accepted design that doesn't cater to a limited niche market.
And for what it's worth, I've owned several Tauri over the years, still own several, and have found them to be quite nice pieces. I don't have any of the various Judges because I don't understand the niche. Just me, of course.
