Unfortunately, I see the styling as the guns biggest marketing negative. I suppose I could dream up some snarky remark about it being the illegitimate offspring of a early HK and Beretta by the Coke marketing department, the reality is that the American gun market doesn't much like curvy lines on a gun. If they had followed the trends in the earlier gun it would have less issues.
It's too melded and ray gun, the half grip panels seem a bit cheap, and the wavy line looks like it was lifted from Keltec/Ruger. It was a distraction on them - hey, we can handle flat slab sides, even if SIG can't on the P938.
Unless it has some remarkable ability to consistently put rounds in the ten ring and never ever malfunction, I give it 3-5 years. How it works inside doesn't sell - the American public doesn't buy guns for technical excellence over styling. It has to make the owner look smart and a better being than the next gun owner, it's about the social pecking order. Sorry, Remington, it just proves once again the upper level management is too entrenched and unresponsive to the market. They Don't Get It.
Of course, that might be the hidden agenda - put out something that will force the stock price down to help recalcitrant stockholders to sell while they think they could still make something. It IS an issue right now, sacrifice a pistol for the health of the company . . .
