I'm at a loss as to what the target market segment is supposed to be.

If the trigger is as good as indicated USPSA Production Division folks might be interested but that can't be a huge number.

It won't just be competing with other spin-barrels, it's in the pit with a bunch of other polymer 9mm semi-autos. For those of us that don't own a polymer 9mm, what does this have that a Glock, XD, M&P, PX etc., doesn't?

STI generally displays some pretty astute marketing but I'm not seeing what the "angle" is with this example. Assuming a street price of 590.00 it's higher than XD, Glock and M&P by varying degrees and about on par with PX-4s.

Does the Grand Power have a built-in base with the target crowd?
