When it comes to smartphones, no one blinks when new models violate tradition and the “old way” or doing things.

When it comes to guns, things move a little slower. I figure it takes a century or so for innovative ideas to become mainstream. For example, I know for a fact that optics were invented a long, long time ago because guys like Galileo used them. What took forever was for shooters to accept the idea that it might be a good idea to mount an optic with glass parts (!) on a rifle to make aiming easier and more precise.
