Marketing Hype. Same with the terms 'turbo' and 'extreme'. Stamp a catchy buzzword onto the product, never mind the product is out of context to the true meaning of that term. If it helps sales, that's all that matters! Remember, nearly all companies now are run by the bean counters, not the enthusiasts that began the company.
Been done for ages - look at those Colt "Government Models" and "Commanders" sold over the decades, that are not as issued by the military. Marlin's "Guide Gun", mostly owned by armchair hunters who go onto a managed hunting lease for a couple weeks a year. In short, the 'bottom line' drives it.

popplecop, you took wrong point I was trying to make.
I'm just agents the people who buy it because it has the word tactical staples to the receipt, and a few other things. But seawolf, a question. Doesn't Government Model mean it is a copy or clone of the ordinal version? I got my Rock Island .45 because it said it was a Government model, so I thought "I used that design in the Army" and got it due to familiarity........but it didn't say tactical
