Pocket Firepower

Just 109 years separated in design, but identical in intentions.


Colt Pocket Hammerless in .380 ACP and S&W M&P 9 Shield in 9mm Parabellum.

The Shield is smaller in every dimension but width, holds the same number of rounds with the flush magazine, has better sights, is lighter and fires a more powerful 9mm round.  What's more, it's actually hammerless!

Technology marches on.

I think it's interesting is they both have a passive safety that's activated by the act of firing.  The Colt with a grip safety, the S&W with the articulated trigger.
