Gun related stuff that pisses you off

[willygene]

hi point aint a pimple on a glocks ass the only thing i would use a hi point for is a trotline weight, no offense to all you hi point owners.

Hi Points piss me off. I have handled a few, but never shot one. I hear they shoot just fine. What gets me is the looks. Did they try to make it as ugly as possible?

They are sinfully ugly, but they do work quite well. The potmetal they used somewhat dictated the design as far as wall thickness... but they more then made up for that shortcoming with their slippery, hard plastic grip!

 

[TexasRedneck]

Frankly, most guns don't piss me off. I may not like 'em, but they usually fit a niche for someone - and that's great. I've owned guns that I'd never consider today - but back then, it beat usin' a stick to defend myself an' family.

Travelling to states that don't let you carry, especially for several weeks in a row.

Do you hear me NY! Cali! Freakin' New Jersey! You piss me off!

Ok, much better now.

The fact that nobody else shoots their guns.......

At least that's the impression you'd get looking at most classifieds for guns. I'm sure some of those guns have less than 100 rounds through em, but almost all ads say only (insert number less than 100) rounds through this gun. Come on....

You know how many people I run into at the range who are all "yeah, I've had this gun for three years and I shoot it a lot. I've probably put three whole boxes of ammo through it"?

Really? 150 rounds in three years?

 

[TexasRedneck]

For SOME of us, that may be possible. I own over 40 .45's. Other than a few favorites, some of 'em don't get out to play very often....

Well.....we DID shoot 3-400 rounds at the last get-together - out of 8 .45's.<G>

Gun sellers that use bait n switch methods

Yeah, I talked to someone who said his pistol was "absolutely" reliable because he'd put three boxes through without any problems. I'm just barely getting to know a handgun at 150 rounds, and will say "so far, so good". It's not "trust it beyond a doubt" until after at least 500 without a problem.

 

[willygene]

TexasRedneck sounds like you have some have 45s that need shooting buy some more ammo and shootem all.

 

[Kimber_me_timbers]

Or gun stores that have reasonably priced guns, and charge 5+ times market value on ammo to snare the ignorant bastards and making all their money off of overpriced ammo... (yes, B&S, Im talking to you!!)

Wait... ignorant people are fucking ignorant!!!
Ignorance is expensive!!
Way to go B&S!! But, if someone who isn't ignorant comes in, you should have special pricing for them.

 

[Dawico]

People that want special pricing on ammo because they are not ignorant. Ha!

Guns that just sit in safes. Hello TXR. Yeah, I have some too.

Hey, now. I know some people that have museum-grade stuff in their collections. I wouldn't be taking some of these out, either.

 

[Dawico]

Hey, now. I know some people that have museum-grade stuff in their collections. I wouldn't be taking some of these out, either.

And that is why I won't own anything like that. I'd have to shoot them. I am not worthy.

I have some of those but they need exercise every once in a while too. When SHTF and you need to use that safe queen you want to know how she likes to be handled.

 

[M. Sage]

And that is why I won't own anything like that. I'd have to shoot them. I am not worthy.

I'm not really a collector, either. Mine all get shot.

But I have to admit, the Finnish Mosin with hash marks in the stock ("all that hate's gonna burn you up, boy." ) and the blood-soaked SKS out of Vietnam that I've seen are extremely awesome.

"Buy" ammo?? Sir, bite yer tongue! Ah've got a Dillon 650 that just got through tossin' me out another 4k .45 SWC's!

 

[TexasRedneck]

Damn few of mine do - the Colt 100th Anniversary NRA Commemorative IS one of 'em - as for the others, well, yeah - they git shot! It's just that I've got 'nuff of 'em that I don't hafta worry 'bout wearin' 'em out.....yeah, THAT'S IT!!!
