Of course, I don't think he has ever tried to sell me a bad gun.

Handled the S&W and Colt versions today. The S&W was about $30 less than the Colt. The Colt collapsable butt stock had a lot of wiggle in it, otherwise it looked and felt solid. The S&W on the other hand had a magpul pistol grip and buttstock along with both front and rear folding sights. The folding sights are plastic/polymer and the only thing that I thought was questionable. Both guns had plenty of rail space with the Colt having removable rail guards on 3 sides, a removable rear sight and a fixed front. I'm undecided as to which one I want at this point, so if anyone has fired either one of these models your feedback is welcome.
I also handled a used GSG-5 and it just felt awkward but that may be attributed to the AR collapsable buttstock and aftermarket forward grip with integrated rails that was on it. The stock iron sights are pretty much useless but I am guessing most people would mount a sight of their choice on the top rail anyways.
