S&W Equalizer- name bother anyone?

I would put this on my EDC:
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti
but it’s too long for a compact slide. :roll_eyes:
I think Equalizer is good enough.

“Allahu Akbar” should fit, similar idea. :sunglasses:

According to Islam, Allah is the same God as the Christian God. Allah means God in Arabic. The only difference is that Islam does not believe in Polytheism, which is what they state Christianity is due to the belief in the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. They like killing infidels, too. :sunglasses:

This depends on who you ask. According to the Quran, there are many names to describe (the one true) God. Among them are “The Living God” or “The God who is,” which many Muslim scholars will point out is the same meaning as YHWH, but in a different language. They have no problem equating the God of Islam to the God of Judaism; in fact, they insist on it, because there is only one God. They will, however, also insist that many of the Jewish scriptures contain errors, which are to be corrected by the Quran.

You are absolutely correct when you say that Muslims consider Christians to be polytheists. I’ve had some interesting conversations with Muslim friends. I can’t change their mind on this, but they understand that I see things differently than they do (I don’t consider myself to believe in many gods). They also don’t like that so many Christians use the name “Jehovah,” which they consider to be a false name for a false god rather than a corruption of YHWH translated back and forth over the centuries. So, quick tip, don’t use the name “Jehovah” when talking to Muslims; you’ll have more luck with the older names that are found in the Jewish texts.

I must disagree that Muslims “like killing infidels.” I have Muslims friends and family; none of them have ever tried to kill me, nor have they ever expressed any interest in harming others. I will easily concede that there are radical Muslims who actively seek to repress or kill infidels, but that does not describe the typical Muslim you’re going to find who is raising children in North America. Every religion has its a-holes, but that doesn’t mean everyone in that religion is an a-hole.

It was meant in jest, sort of. Kind of like how many colonists actually fought the British compared to how many there were. Just like our modern military is a fraction of one-percent of our population. It does not take many to become a problem.

No question that there are Muslim groups that do kill infidels today. The poll of US Muslims several years ago when there was a spate of gays being tossed from buildings was also very telling. They hold their cards very close when among infidels.

Look at all the attacks on our military in Afghanistan by those working with our military as more examples. Reminds me of a group of teens that habituated the store I worked at in my youth. They were good, until you turned your back on them, so I learned quickly to always keep my eye on them. They told me once that they wouldn’t steal from me because they liked me. I suspect it was because I always engaged them and talked to them to not give the opportunity to steal. :sunglasses:

I have “make love not war” and a peace sign on one AR. The other is pink with a trans flag.

I too have a Hellcat Pro and have thought sometimes would the name of my pistol be used against me if I am in court. I would answer “Hellcat” is a reference to the fighter plane the US developed during WWII to counter the Japanese Zero. I like the specs and reviews of the Equalizer and have considered buying one if I get another handgun. In court, I would argue it is another term for “Equity”.

I saw an article in a magazine and the “name” caught my attention so I read it.
Turns out I liked what I read. I ordered one from “gun buyer”, ten days later I had it at the range.
So far it is everything the magazine said it was. I have severe arthritis in both hands and this gun was easy on my hands, easy to rack, shoot, make follow up shots.
Now I’m thing about getting a mimi red dot for it to help see the target sight picture better.
I’ve made adjustments to my shooting because of my hands and now need some help with my eyes, anything that makes me a safer and better shooter.
I whole heartedly recommend the Equilizer!

Did you have any problems with the grip safety?
That is the one and only aspect of it I do not like.

The first time I disassembled it I forgot Not to push the grip safety. Fortunately I was watching YouTube and it showed what to do. And I like the grip safety after using it, it became natural for me, better than a thumb safety.

If you had to use your weak side hand, could you fire without any interruption?
We found this issue with my wife’s Shield EZ when we had it.
It just seemed too sensitive at the time. Even with a firm grip, periodically it would not fire. We tested by putting a rubber band around it and the problem went away.

I really like the specs on the Equalizer except have misgivings from the past on the EZ.
Input from an actual owner is greatly appreciated.

I’m sorry that I can’t address, I’ve not yet tried off hand shooting. It is something that I definitely need to work on not just the Equalizer but my EDC (a Ruger LCPII) also. When I was in the Army at least 1/4 of my range time time was off hand shooting.

I really like the Equalizer, just wish it was a tad smaller, then it would be my EDC.
